Cueto who?

Jays not worried about him. At this point I'd love him pitching twice in a series. What's wrong with the guy?

He's trying to become affordable next year?

First time in his career that he lost 4 straight starts. I personally think he's either holding back or he's rattled. Detroit complained about his delivery and he's sucked since. Today there was no hitch, no deception. He looks very pedestrian. It's definitely troubling. The only upside is Ventura has been the best pitcher in baseball since the first of August. It sounds crazy, but Ventura might start game 1

Lost his cutter.

I misspoke, but only slightly. I meant over the last 5 starts, which I assumed was around the first of August. So I will say over the last 5 starts he's been the best in the league.

Ventura Last 5 starts, 5-0, 32 IP, 20 hits, 13 BB, 4 Earned Runs, 43 K.
Kelly last 5 starts, 5-0, 32.2 IP, 24 hits, 11 BB, 7 earned runs, 20 K.

What are we talking about?

Red Sox? We're talking about Red Sox, man? [laughter] We're talking about Red Sox. We're talking about Red Sox? We ain't talking about winning. [more laughter] We're talking about Red Sox, man.

At least you and China are both wrong and not just you Sizzle.

The correct answer is Jake Arrieta

Last 5 starts - 5-0, 35.2 IP, 17 hits, 5 BB, 2 ER, 39 K

Fuck me, I ALSO forgot to say American League pitcher, from Latin America, under 25, and has a similar name to a smoking hot bitch that Bieber used to bang

 

Yovanna Ventura

[Sanlmar]

Garbage time. Over 9 Even.

Latos is a late scratch for Dodgers. No great loss.

Wieland 1-5 11.57ERA only 4 innings pitched in majors this year. About a 6era with Dodgers. AAA pitcher joins his AAA battery mate at catcher. LOL. I could go on.

Seager at short & fat ass AGon DH. Playing first is taxing. Mattingly doesnt give a shit here but everyone wants to hit.... this game is pretty funny actually

G RICHARDS -R/J WIELAND -R

Red Sox 10 Toronto 1

Sox take 2 of 3. Toronto generally got their ass kicked by the dreadful Red Sox.

I need to start betting Sox overs. Sox have no pitching which is key. But their kids are hustling.

Jays v Yankees next and there might be opportunity as everyone sorta fell in love with Blue Jays. Yankees could spoil.

[WillieMcFML]

The Cardinals are 101 games over .500 since start of 2012 (363-262). No other team is close. Dodgers next at 80 games over.

You let the air out of a great stat when you brought up the Dodgers.

Regular season heroes & post season zeros. I keep thinking 90's Braves but Dodgers haven't earned even that comparison.

Cardinals know how to win in post season too.

Moneyball is celebrating 12th anniversary. Dodgers now make a big push to hire all the value MBA's. Many of the front office guys are experimenting with cell phones.

Joe Kelly (10-6) won his eighth consecutive start, the longest stretch by a Boston pitcher since Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez won nine straight in 1999.

[WillieMcFML]

Cardinals currently 5th all time with 105 straight 3+ game series without getting swept (last time was in 2013)

Flukiest run I've ever seen. Kid is 10-6 with a 4.70 ERA after this recent stretch. He had to be like 8+ before

Tonight he can't even make it out of the 6th, didn't even get a QS. Only morons look at pitchers wins these days

That's insane. Both that it's been that long and it's only 5th ever. Baseball is a game of streaks. I fucking hate St Louis with a passion, but I tip my hat to that streak

I'm not a huge Kelly fan but he has talent as he chucks 98 MPH and has a bunch of pitches and has some potential upside. That said yes he was fucking terrible earlier this year and he pitches traditionally terrible 1st half of seasons. He has pitched well though during this stretch with about 13 earned runs in about 45 or so innings. I also agree that it is moronic to judge pitchers on wins.

Lock up and ship the NL to the playoffs.

NL East Mets, NL Central Cards, NL West Dodgers, Wildcards Cubs & Pirates.

Just about no drama at this point. Boring final month. I turned off the Dodgers game in the middle, as they have some no-name pitcher going against the Angels, and I decided I didn't really give a shit, despite it being a 2-1 game. I don't think I'll be watching too much until October.

They will be. All 5 teams are of high quality this year.
