Tampa's really bad. Gausman wasn't as good vs. Toronto.

KC leading Detroit 2-1 in the 9th

 

Detroit sux

 

Rajai hitting leadoff 0-4 with 2K

 

KC will be leading the AL Cenrltral by 1.5 games if they hang on here

 

What a collapse in Detroit. To think they were 7 up on May 18th.. an 8.5 game swing in about a month to the downside, compared to a 4.5 game gain for the Jays. Wonder if changes are coming in Detroit soon.

Toronto in June (MLB-wide):

 

4th worst in Runs/Game

4th best in ERA

 

Incredible

 

Start hitting again!!!

Off topic, but is this the great pitching performance of all time?

I highly doubt anything tops 9 IP, 20 K, 0 BB, but let me know if I'm missing something.

Kerry Wood was the best.

Bartolo Colon just hit a leadoff double for his first hit of the year, lol.

 

He has just 10 hits in career 131 PAs

 

for anyone that missed it

Funny because Wood was basically an average starter.

11% above average xFIP, he was above average. Not a GOAT but very, very good.

11% above average xFIP is "very very good"?

not his fault he had a s*** for brains manager that had him throwing 130 pitches consistently

Travis Snider struck out Joey Votto.

Holy s*** I remember that game. What a spectacle that was. What made it even more impressive was that it came against the very good Houston Astros led by Biggio and Bagwell. Kid making his 5th career ML start and mows them down like it's no big deal.

[Convo]

Travis Snider struck out Joey Votto.

 

Confused.... why is Snider pitching? And if he is, I guess he's now considered totally expendable to that org.

I'll use FIP to increase the sample since his FIP- is 88 which is almost the same.

 

Puts him in the conversation with Don Drysdale, Steve Carleton, Madison Bumgarner, David Price, David Cone, Steve Rogers, Josh Beckett, Doug Fister, and Corey Kluber. I'd say that's very very good.

Are you making stuff up? Bumgarner's career FIP/xFIP is 3.14 3.32.... Wood's is 3.83 3.81. That's a different ballpark.

Stats with a "-" or "+" suffix are adjusted for run environment and park. It's a cool stat.

[Convo]

you know in the NL there's different rules and you run out of pitchers sometimes usually when the team gives up alot of runs and you have to use a position player to pitch?

 

Right.... but Snider has never pitched before. This says a lot about what they think of him.

[Convo]

Chris Davis has pitched (multiple innings?) for the Orioles.

 

Pre-2013 Chris Davis pitched 2 innings, yes.

with Cutch, Marte and Polanco he's not gunna see much time anyways.

Kershaw with a. No hitter threw 7, perfect game ruined by Hanley with a throwing error

 

Has it ever actually happened where a pitcher's thrown 9 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB but lost the perfect game to an error?

[SparkyAnderson]

Kershaw with a. No hitter threw 7, perfect game ruined by Hanley with a throwing error

 

Would it still be considered as a perfect game with the error?

 

Ah nevermind I see that they consider it as a no hitter. Kind of crappy considering he still hasn't given up a hit or a walk.

[jb22]

Wow 9ip 0h 0bb 15so

[Pinkfloid]

Amazing performance and a wonderful call by Vin Scully...obviously doesn't care about superstition mentioning the no-hit bid quite a few times throughout the evening. Too bad about the throwing error since it really should have been a perfect game. Enjoyed seeing it in front of the home fans too.

Cecil on DL

 

Trade for LOOGY Snider for BP

 

Obvious move

[G-Snarls]

Awesome awesome Kershaw

 

Wow what a game he pitched

[Abomination]

Hawkins had an interesting game in 1990, where he threw an 8 inning no hitter and lost 4-0.

[Dylan]

wow what a game by Kershaw!!! I wish I knew last night so I could have tuned in
