Brandon Webb not Cy Young ?

Question

If Webb keeps leaving his sinkers upstairs, and he's getting inconsistent, should Tim Lincecum be considered the Cy Young winner with MLB leading ERA, and Strikeouts.

Answer 1

of couse him or cc sabathia

Answer 2

I think its too early to tell at this point in the season.  While Lincecum has more K's and a better ERA, the fact of the matter is that up to this point Webb has been the better pitcher.  Excluding his last two starts (today being one of them), he has been nearly unhittable, and I think that two bad starts isnt enough to put Lincecum ahead of Webb.

Answer 3

I think he'll still get it, he's one of the greatest pitchers in the NL.

Answer 4

No, C.C. Sathabia with the Brewers.

Answer 5

one bad game, probably not going to effect his chances too much.  Cy young is win-biased, if he ends up with more wins than any other pitcher at the end of the season, he gets it, history proves it.

Personally, though i dont think strikeouts matter, Tim Lincecum should get it if he racks up 20 wins.  His ERA is insane, and has a lot of wins despite being on a team that gives very little offensive support.
