A quick post here on Memorial Day for those checking in.

Roy Halladay is simply amazing: 11 games, 81 innings, 10 starts, 5 complete games. Perhaps the most impressive part of Halladay's domination is his efficiency, take a look at the pitches total of the top five inning throwers.

NAME	IP	PITCHES	P/IP
Halladay	81	1092	13.48
Blanton	80.3	1230	15.32
Harang	78.7	1233	15.67
Cook	76.7	1064	13.87
Hamels	76.3	1149	15.06

That's incredible, and assuming Halladay stays healthy it wouldn't a stretch to have him pegged for nearly 250 innings this season. The last player to do that was Livan Hernandez in 2004, he threw 255 innings.
