With all the hype this season surrounding new ace Roy Halladay, Jamie Moyer who has worked his way to a 4-2 record, has gone virtually unnoticed. Roy Halladay deserves all the attention he is getting, don't get me wrong. He is 6-1 with a 1.45 ERA, and 3 of his 6 wins are complete games, a remarkable feat. Still, Jamie Moyer deserves some attention as well because when he pitches, he keeps the Phillies in the game and always gives his team mates a chance to win. You know what your gonna get from Jamie every time he goes out there. Your gonna get a guy who can pitch 6 innings, give up 3 or 4 runs, and in the end help his team to win ball games. Jamie is a guy who hustles and always gives 110%. On Friday night, Jamie pitched a complete game shut-out and became the oldest player to ever pitch a complete game. By pitching a complete game, Jamie proves to his team mates and all of Major League Baseball, that even at 47 years old, he can still go out there and compete. Right now, Jamie is doing a great job. He is 4-2 with a 4.38 ERA and he is having a very solid season. Looking down the road, as the wear and tear of the season begins to take it's toll, Jamie will have to make adjustments and keep himself in top shape. But that's later in the season, and for now Jamie is pitching at a very high level and it is always fun to watch him go out and compete.
