Among qualified pitchers he has the:

Lowest ERA
Lowest WHIP
Most Strikeouts
Most Wins
4th Most IP

Bonus stat: Edinson Volquez has the most walks allowed in the Majors.

Respectfully disagree. BTW that ump's strike zone was out of control last night. None the less, very impressive season so far by Dickey especially in light of his book.

I might consider checking out his book. Sounds like he's had an interesting life.

Actually that is a comment I agree with, although probably a subject for a different thread, it seems like pitchers can get the "rep" for getting the clutch strike and their plate grows on 2 strike counts. I feel like its become more pronounced the last couple of seasons and has contributed to an increase in great pitching performances.

"The Rep" is a large part of what makes the NBA the worst sports product out there. I don't want it to creep into MLB.

I do agree. I think they showed 3 strikeouts in the highlight I saw and every one the 3rd strike was out of the zone.

Verlander and Grienke have been better.
