Roy Halliday is one of the few pitchers who can and will go the distance. He's not looking to turn it over to the pen after 6 or 7 innings. He wants to finish what he started.
Halliday is throwback to the days when pitchers were conditioned, mentally and physically, to go nine.
Today in Philly, Halladay showed, again, that he's the best pitcher in the game (sorry Ubaldo and Lincecum) as he mowed down the Mets in a complete game, 10-0 win. Halladay allowed just three hits and struck out six.
Halladay is now 5-1 with three complete games, two shutouts and a tiny ERA of 1.47. If you are a Phillies reliever you can go fishing on the days that Halladay throws.
I certainly wouldn't want to bat against Halladay. Wait, yes I would. That would mean I was in the Major Leagues instead of rotting away working in radio and playing old guy's baseball on the weekends.
