Someone hand Cliff Lee his Cy Young now...

[MartinBlank]

I know we had the debate over Kershaw and Kennedy, but those two are also-rans in the real race for the NL Cy Young.

Lee threw his 6th shutout...6th in one year.

Lee has had 11 starts where he has pitched 7 or more innings of scoreless baseball, the last pitcher to do that was Bob Gibson in 1968.

He is at 30 consecutive scoreless innings-----and he had a 34 inning streak in June/July. No pitcher has had 2 streaks like that in a season since 1972.

Oh yeah, he now has over 200 k's too.

The only pitchers in MLB history to have 6 shutout and 200ks in the same season are Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, Bob Veale, and now Cliff Lee.

Its ovah. Hand it to him.

Based on what? Seriously? I don't think there is a baseball writer in America who is going to ignore 6 shutouts in one year, when every other stat is comprable. I am not saying it will happen but if this streak of Lee's hits 40 innings---you are looking at a season of 2 streaks of more than 34 scoreless innings in the same season. That has never been done before since they have been tracking baseball stats.
