does CC get CY if he gets # 20 tonight?

[darocker80]

So we agree, its not CCs anymore?

...It never was.

+1.

I never thought CC deserved it over Greinke.

I meant after last night's performance the little hope he had left is gone?

NO!

CC is in the AL East ...toughest division in Baseball. I say YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a lot of truth to this.

Every single pitch Sabathia has thrown this season has been under pressure...and it could be argued that Greinke never threw a single pressure pitch.

All of the projections of, "if Greinke was on the Yankees he'd have X wins" are preposterous. Greinke had some issues simply by pitching in the majors, let alone dealing with the New York media.

Realistically, I think Greinke wins, but it could be argued for Sabathia.

Nothing you say is wrong. However, I find Cy Young voting to be more straight forward (ie more based on stats) than, say, MVP voting (where it matters quite a bit whether you play on a playoff team or not). Outside of the 3 win difference, Greinke has the lead in most other pitching categories including a huge lead in ERA (which is probably one of the top 2 pitching categories). We're talking about more strikeouts, lower WHIP, lower BAA, etc.
