Quote of the day
"He’s a horse." -- Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, after Roy Halladay pitched his 7th complete game of the season, winning 3-1 over Atlanta

Daily blurb
Roy Halladay pitched his 7th complete game of the season last night. In those seven outings, he has given up a total of only 7 earned runs, although curiously, his record in those 7 games is only 5-2, as he twice lost by one run. He’s got two more CGs this season than his closest pursuer, Cliff Lee (5). Last year, Halladay lead the majors with 9 CGs, while Lee was tied for second with 6. If you’re playing in a format that rewards complete games, those two guys might be the über-studs.

I know that some of you make use of the daily analysis tools available at the RotoGuru-affiliated site, DailyBaseballData.com. The most heavily accessed tool at that site is the Batter vs. Pitcher report, a listing of all of the BvP data for a game day on a single page. This morning, I added an indicator after each batter’s name showing if he bats left, right, or switch. Pitcher “handedness” is also shown. I suspect some of you will find that to be convenient info in assessing potential matchups.
