Why did you ignore Lohse's numbers? He's having an even better year than Jair, but will also regress. halladay doesn't regress. He's been the best pitcher in baseball for ten years.
Roy Halladay overrated? You've lost all credibility. He is the best pitcher in baseball over the past ten years. And what pitcher has ever been guaranteed to throw a CG shutout everytime out? That's the dumbest measuring stick of all time.
Take your Braves glasses off and look at the numbers

The Halladay leghumpers are out in force.
Strikeouts > ERA 
Nice try though.

You can't argue these numbers. Halladay better K/9, BB/9, HR/9, fip and xfip. Roy is number 1 in most.
Xfip is a predictor of future ERA and Halladay, Hamels and Lee are in the top 4.

There really is no arguing with you Halladay leghumpers. To you the stats that favor Halladay are the only stats that matter and the stats that don’t favor Halladay are completely meaningless even if it’s something like ERA.
Wise up.

An opinion piece written in 2010 has to do with the first 1/3 of the 2011 season because…

ERA and Wins/Losses over a 9 game stretch is ridiculous to look at. It is the smallest sample size and too much luck plays into Wins and ERA over a 2 month baseball stretch. I'll wager anything you want that Halladay ends up with a lower ERA

I say “Jurrjens is the best pitcher in the majors RIGHT NOW” and your argument against that is “Halladay has been unlucky and Jurrjens has been lucky” and “Halladay ENDS UP with a lower ERA.”
The Braves have committed just 4 more errors than the Phillies have yet “the Braves have a bad defense and the Phillies have a great defense."
I understand that you are huge phillies homer, but come on dude, even you can’t honestly believe what you’re saying.

Cmon...this is all based upon what jj has done so far this season like you posted earlier. It could be luck or it could be legit but I dont think you can go off of 10 starts and say he is the best pitcher in the league. So that would also make matt joyce the best hitter in the league. But you disagreed.
I think guys like halladay, felix, timmy have proven for quite some time that they are the best pitchers in the league right now. JJ has to show he can do it for longer or in a bigger spot.

This thread is about who the best pitcher is in the majors so far this season and your argument is “hows 4.5 back feel?”
Keep at it, kid.

Where did I disagree?
JJ has to prove that stuff for the long haul.
He has already proven he is the best pitcher in the majors RIGHT NOW SO FAR THIS SEASON.

Why would I argue with you anymore? I tried and you just came back and said "Jurjens rules!" Nobody really gives a fuck
Refute what I said earlier if you want to argue:
If you want to just say for this season, it is probably Kyle Lohse. He has the same amount of wins as Jurjenns and better WHIP, BAA, K/9. In fact, in 15 more innings, Lohse has given up only 3 more hits and the same amount of homeruns.

You do realize that you can’t edit your posts, right? Anyone can just go back and read what was posted so I’m not sure why you think lying is going to work.
I pointed out how Jurrjens is the best pitcher so far this season by pointing out that he has the best ERA in the majors and is off to one of the best starts of the past few decades.
Your counterpoints were ““Halladay has been unlucky and Jurrjens has been lucky,” “Halladay ends up with a lower ERA,” and, my personal favorite, “hows 4.5 back feel?”
I love how you keep flipping back and forth between wins being a relevant statistic and it being meaningless.
As for Lohse, his ERA is 2.13. JJ's is 1.51.

While I’m not so sure about all the majors anymore Jurrjens is clearly the best NL pitcher so far this season.
He leads the NL with 11 wins (despite starting the season on the DL and missing multiple starts) and has a major league leading 1.89 ERA.
The next closest in ERA in the NL is Halladay with more than half a point higher.
