Posts about Andy Pettitte
Everyday on r/baseball I see a new ballot posted and it's a sportswriter voting for andruw jones or Helton or rolen, but none of them are hall of famers. Andy is. Jones is a career .254 hitter I believe, Helton had coors field but other than '07 never played one important game. I'm convinced the Rolen stans exist because he was a cheat code in MVP baseball 2004. Andy was a big game pitcher and delivered every single time except for game 6 in 2001. He was an innings eater and clutch as can be. His seasons with a high ERA can be attributed to him pitching at the old yankee stadium during the height of the steroid era in a stacked American League. Also Torre had a propensity for leaving pitchers in for too long. The whole steroids thing is blown out of proportion, there is no evidence Pettitte used roids for his performance. Unlike Clemens his fastball never went above 93 mph. Anyways that's my rant, thanks for reading. Andy Pettite for hall of fame 2023!
