[Jon]

Here's the press release.

 

His stats for July:

 

Pitching - 6-0, 4.15 ERA, 39 IP

Hitting - .267/.267/.667, 2 HR

 

More proof that wins and losses are the only things that matter! Sure was better than May (1.90 ERA) or June (1.96 ERA).

Well if Wins were ever more of a measurement for quality, it would have to be here. To go 6-0 with this team is remarkable, and that ERA is inflated by the start against the White Sox.

Cesar Izturis Career SLG: .339

Carlos Zambrano Career SLG: .359

He also gave up 5 against the Mets.

 

Obviously he should get the award every month, but it's pretty clear the voters of this award only really care about wins and losses.

Phshaw, Z is holding out for the Player of the Month Award.

[chuckywang]

See, I think wins and losses are overrated. They are a direct reflection of what the offense does for the pitcher, not how the well he pitches. ERA, WHIP, BB/9, SO/9....those are stats that directly reflect pitching.

 

Regardless, congrats to Carlos.

[da bears]

Congrats to Z. Hopefully he can get pitcher of the month for August and September, then reel in the Cy Young.

Very few posters here would disagree with you.

 

 

Jon is just pointing out that the voters for these awards (Cy Young also) only seem to care about W-L records.

I got the impression that his offense was more important, not the Ws and Ls :wink:

Didn't Maddux win Pitcher of the Month for April?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Didn't Maddux win Pitcher of the Month for April?

 

Yep. Congrats, Z!

[Laura]

Kind of amusing the Cubs would have two pitchers win it in four months on a stinky team.

[soccer10k]

Congrats to Z. It was long overdue.

Big Z is everything you want in a baseball player. I hope he wins the Cy Young this year. He deserves it, even if it is on a LOSING team....
