Jamie Moyer is defying Father Time for the Philadelphia Phillies
46-year old lefty Jamie Moyer looked like he was toast during the first three months of this season, but in July he has been outstanding. Moyer has started 5 games this month and he is 4-1 with a 3.30 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Moyer’s overall numbers however are not that impressive. He has pitched in 20 games (all starts) this season for the Phillies and he is 10-7 with a 5.32 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. Moyer has been hit hard this season allowing 131 hits (21 of them homers) in 113 1/3 innings. Still, this is Moyer’s 14th season in double figures in the win column. It will be interesting to see how long Moyer wants to pitch as he does have 256 wins in his major league career. Could he win 300? I wouldn’t bet against him as I thought he was toast a long time ago.
