I smell Cy? (not based on wins of course but just saying....)

Well there are 5 guys competing

Johnny Cueto
R.A. Dickey
Gio Gonzalez
A.J. Burnett
Stephen Strasburg

Strasburg will be shut down in 3 starts and will and steal votes from Gonzalez, taking him out of the running. I think Dickey's only competition is Johnny Cueto.

Dickey will have 6-7 more starts left, if he goes 4-2 w/ a ND and keeps the ERA around the same I think he gets it.

EDIT: Dickey just said his knuckler felt "crummy" early on, yet he only threw 4-5 fastballs tonight. How is that possible?

lol burnett. (replace him with Kershaw)

Derek Lowe still sucks. Not that it matters

That would be awesome. RAs a great guy and deserves it.what a story!

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy fuck what an ending!

Jays win

keep in mind Burnett was like 10-2 at one point. And Kersh would have to win out, I know you can win a Cy with a low win total but the W/L disparity is not good, 3 of his competitors are at 17 wins (they could win 20 games) with less losses and he's 12-8.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Aaaaah what is the point of Lowe here Aaaaaah

 

[McNei1y]

Mark Reynolds has been on fire.

The Point of Lowe Return~

[cashman]

So is this the point where we say the yankees might finish third in their own division?

[matthewwhatever]

Jays win

That was amazing! Didn't know Sierra had such a good arm. I'd definitely be okay with him as the starting LF next year.

3 wins in a row!

 

[zulux21]

white sox bases loaded no one out : 0 runs
tigers bases loaded no one out : 3 runs :/

oh well the game isn't over yet but it's not looking good.

Not the lead dog, but in the hunt.

Both the Yankees and Red Sox missing the playoffs would be amazing.

Still only have to take 1 this weekend. Anything else is a bonus.

When they called him up they said he had one of the best arms in all of baseball

 

[Dominican Power]

They take Kuroda out for that scrub.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Orioles keep rollin'

 

[zulux21]

yeah as long as we aren't swept it will all be good, but I was hoping they would take the first game so I don't have to worry about it as much, especially since there is a high chance I won't be able to watch the third game since it will likely be blacked out on MLB.TV due to it being on ESPN 2 :/

Sorry, but he's nowhere near the top in WAR, FIP, ERA, xFIP, or SIERA. How is he in the hunt? Kershaw, Cueto, Dickey, even Bumgarner have better cases.

 

[Windu]

even if you use ERA, burnett has no case.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Hot steamin'shit.

 

[vas_a_morir]

lol yankees. Injuries got em.

 

[eznark]

you're really a bastard. :me

Keep watching, we're giving it right back!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

oh yay Grandy homered....

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Well, at least the division is exciting. Or something.

 

[Windu]

Ben Francisco to the Rays for PTBNL. Sucks to be PTBNL, every day he gets traded.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Huh...didn't know that. In any case, amazing way to end the game. I literally yelped with joy, which terrified my cats and startled my wife, but whatever...how many games end with a runner being thrown out at home?

 

[McNei1y]

Damn 8+ runs each game in the past 3. We're going into September full steam.

I actually think it's the Cardinals that are collapsing.

I'm sure the voters have no idea what most of those terms are outside of ERA. And he has 6 starts to get it back to 3.

 

[Malo]

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[McNei1y]

GEEEEE-YOOOO

Best trade ever.

 

[Windu]

the only thing he is in the top ten in is pitcher wins, one of the most useless statistics in baseball.

Wins (lol) 5th
ERA 23rd
IP 32nd
WHIP 26th
K/BB 27th
xFIP 12th
SIERA 12th
fWAR 26th

Poor BenFran, I will miss him.

No wait, no I won't.

 

[dmag1223]

Can Heisey please start over Stubbs from now on?

 

[Windu]

sigh

 

[Jubs]

wut

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Shit

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Jesus McCann, why the fuck would you call a fastball on an 0-2 pitch when the guy has just looked totally stupid on two sliders? His pitch-calling his maddeningly stupid sometimes.

 

[rando14]

Millwood is such trash.

 

[Macattk15]

Thanks for making me not waste my time watching tonight Millwood.

You old fuck.

 

[Joey Fox]

Poor BenFran, I will miss him.

No wait, no I won't.

Wait, wasn't he the second coming a week ago?

 

[Jubs]

Deal with it

 

[Windu]

Chipper will hit a HR here.

Freddie will hit a HR here.

McCann will hit a HR here.

the braves will not score here.

I called it!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Pretty much. Last 39 innings without a single ER. :[
