Holy fuck at King Felix. Leads the league in ERA AND innings pitched. RESPECT.

The most amazing part to me is that his velocity has been down this year compared to years past. He's turned into a complete pitcher with command AND stuff. He's easily my favourite pitcher to watch so far this year. Only Strasburg comes close in entertainment value IMO.

The nice thing about Dickey is that you get to watch him all season long. When is Strasburg scheduled to start 30 games, 2020?

He's already started 25 games this year and he should have at least four more before he's shut down, so I don't think you'll have to wait too long. Honestly his workload this year isn't particularly light for a young pitcher coming off TJ surgery, if the Nats weren't in contention it would pretty much be a nonstory.

Ken Rosenthal floating the possibility of Dusty Baker to the Braves. Windu et al, might want to cool it on the "fire Fredi" tip!

Speculation. Blue Jays should trade John Farrell for Daniel Bard.

I would be so happy if this happened. Bard might be a headcase at this point, but Farrell's a lousy manager. I don't see why the Red Sox would do it, though...why trade someone who could still return to form in exchange for a manager they could just get at the end of 2013? One more year or Bobby Valentine (or whoever) isn't going to kill them.

Trading Bard for that would be one of the most foolish deals in history, even if he is still a headcase.

Worse than the Dodgers.

ESPN Secures MLB Rights In Eight-Year, $5.6B Deal
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Morning-Buzz/2012/08/28/ESPN-MLB.aspx

The eight-year deal is worth $5.6B (an average of $700M per year), approximately doubling the nearly $306M ESPN currently pays MLB every year for domestic TV rights. The new deal adds in digital, international and radio, for which ESPN is paying MLB around $50M currently, sources said. Sources added the deal will be announced as soon as this afternoon. As part of the deal, which runs through ‘21, ESPN retains the rights to "Sunday Night Baseball," its Monday and Wednesday night games and highlights for "Baseball Tonight."

ESPN also will carry one Wild Card playoff game, sources said. In its current deal, ESPN does not have rights to any MLB playoffs. As part of the deal, ESPN adds more digital rights, the rights to show games in-progress and some radio and international rights. ESPN also picked up rights to carry games featuring more popular teams, like the Yankees and Red Sox, more frequently.

At least ESPN has significantly improved their broadcasts, unlike FOX. I just wish they didn't insist on such a shitty TV schedule

They can't be any worse than the current playoff broadcasts
