Roy Halladay - The Best Pitcher in Baseball Today

[dwaechte]

For most people there's nothing new or surprising in this article about Doc, but it's a great read nonetheless.

"Halladay Prepared for First Postseason Voyage" http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playof...rry&id=5644528

Guy will be the stuff of Legends one day.

Great Pitcher now has a chance to show what he can do in the playoffs. Legends are made on the biggest stage - World Series. That why he accepted a under market (If you can call 20 mill under market) contract to play for a contender.

[stealthyburrito]

can't wait.

not a big fan of the phils but i do like halladay, and its nice to see him in a plce where he has te chance to succeed.

[GoldenRichards]

He is very solid. One of the best.

[ryanjep]

roy has been waiting years for this. can't wait for the game

[mvp123]

i love the doctor

[iceminers26]

He will lose first game, Doc has not been pitching well down the stretch and the pressure of the post season will get to him

[Sunde91]

This is the kind of insight people pay money for.

[gomiamigo]

Roy is #1.

[rickbo528]

There are no locks and nobody is unbeatable. Should be interesting to watch how he performs. The Reds did beat him this year.

[OMGRandyJackson]

Dont think its a 100% lock but I cannot wait to watch him pitch post season. Should be excellent.

yes that was a shutout last start,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Otters27]

How much longer will he pitch? 7-8 more years?

[dwaechte]

How much longer will he pitch? 7-8 more years?

With his work ethic and conditioning I don't see why he wouldn't be able to.

[rob11234]

Yanks always beat him in big games. If the Phils make it that far.

[dwaechte]

Yanks always beat him in big games. If the Phils make it that far.

Halladay career vs Yanks: 36 starts, 18-7, 2.98 ERA, 253 innings, 198 K's

That's compared to his career ERA of 3.32, keeping in mind the Yanks have consistently had one of the best if not the best offense in the game over Halladay's career.

[Brocc]

He will lose first game, Doc has not been pitching well down the stretch and the pressure of the post season will get to him

He's 3-0 last 3 games, with one complete game...You're nuts

Another genius...Roy never had the Phils bats behind him...But don't worry Yanks won't have to worry about facing him, they'll be playing golf

[StraitShooter]

as far as Volquez-guy could look like cy young tomorrow, or get knocked out in first inning

[odtw524]

He is a very good pitcher and I cant wait to see him dominate in his first ever playoff appearance tomorrow

[superjeff24]

Phillies will win world series in 2010

[Herky]

I'll take Adam Wainright over him.

[Gonad]

as far as Volquez-guy could look like cy young tomorrow, or get knocked out in first inning

And that's what makes the Philberts a no play for me this afternoon...

[dwaechte]

Bump.

I love Leroy.

[thadchr]

Damn, hell of a thread a day in advance, considering...

[chance]

I think it isvery safe to say he is the best pitcher on this day. Sabathia or Liriano will have to throw perfect games to top him

[dodger33]

He just said take that Cliff Lee

[Brocc]

Domination!!!

[tealish]

Now imagine all those wasted years in Toronto. Can't believe this was his FIRST playoff game of his career. Guess he had a lot of prep time for this one..

[Chimneyfish]

Yeah, he's great. Best in the league. Unfortunately, the Phillies can't use him through nine innings for every single game of the postseason.

The Giants have a better staff overall- look at the numbers.

[todd24kb]

Halladay

[TR88]

[beerman2619]

what a great pitching performance today.

[Pauulzcappin]

He just said take that Cliff Lee

dodger, Cliff Lee pitched on the big leagues today, halladay on minors
