Arrghh, you and smartz both on the Kitties huh? I posted this in his thread...
FWIW, Halladay OWNS the Motor City Kitties.
Career vs. Det: 10-2, 1.93 ERA, 93.1 IP, 76 H, 0 ER, 8 BB, 66 K, 5 CG, 4 SO
It gets worse, Halladay @ home: 52-23, 3.39 ERA
Halladay at night: 55-31, 3.54 ERA (compared to 3.74 during the day)
Bonderman has done well vs. Tor as well but has an ERA near 5.00 on artificial turf. I doubt the BJays drop two in a row at home with their Ace of Aces on the mound.
You were on Toronto last night and Detroit tonight, that's kinda rough to jump from one bandwagon to the other. You'd probably have a better chance sticking on Toronto especially with Doc Halladay on the bump. GL if you choose to make any other plays, but at the moment, the BJays are one of my better plays.
Lets be fair...is that 10-2 record vs this same lineup?
1. I never said ondy was better, becuase he isn't.
2. You gave Roy's history vs Detroit, which I am fully aware of, but if those stats are derived facing a different lineup, then how relevant are those stats?
I never said Bonderman is better than Halladay. I think Bonderman is capable of pitching at the same level as Halladay. I for one feel Halladay is about as good as it gets when it comes to pitching. But I also feel Bonderman is well on his way to reaching that elite status as well. And from my perspective (me putting Bonderman up there and being backed by a capable team) +135 looks like a bargain to me. You obviously disagree and I can understand why. At least one of us will walk away a winner.Of course not. But do you think a pitcher cares whos at the plate? He goes onto the mound w/ memories of win after win after win against this team. All he sees is the "D" on their helmets and then he deals. I just can't believe some of the better cappers on this board are saying that Bonderman is better than Halladay at Toronto! That's absurbed! If the Kitties win, I'll be the first to give these cappers props, but it's just crazy IMO. But that's just that, my opinion.
