Around the bigs 4/7 - Aces Wild

[mancini79]

A lot of great pitching match ups today:

CC Vs Verlander

Shields Vs Hamels

Weaver Vs Darvish

Strasburg Vs Cueto

Lester Vs Dickey

Wainright Vs Cain

[jshep]

Reds have 3 runs off Strasburg already.

 

Now have scored 24 runs, including 7 HRs against the Nationals in 2+ games.

 

That's a really good team.

[mancini79]

Verlander has give up 3 and still in the 2nd

[KingJustinian]

Verlander has give up 3 and still in the 2nd

 

To a team with Vernon Wells as the #5 hitter

[Brent Maguire]

CC looks much better today. His first start was bad all around. 

[CanadianHalo]

Middlebrooks is 4-4 with 3 homeruns. Dickey did not look good again today.

[AZMike]

Ball Boy in Cincinnati turns a potential triple into a ground rule double by handing the live ball to a fan in the stands.

[Corona]

Lots of aces getting rocked today.

Ya, Hamels and Shields both getting hit hard out in Philly, Dickey getting pummeled by the Red Sox, Price giving up 8 earned in 5 innings against the Indians.

[Corona]

Stras is still in the game with 108 pitches thrown and he's getting hit. But they pulled him the other day after 80 pitches when he was dominating. Makes perfect sense.

I bet KC fans are stoked that they traded Wil Myers for one year of James Shields.

[Blarg]

Boston is rocking the Jays 13-0. Napoli with 2 home runs.

Reds are really hitting a very good Nationals pitching staff.

Manager of the Year award = whoever happens to be managing the team that won the most games

Sam Miller ‏@SamMillerBP 11m

Fernando Rodney: 1 1/3 innings, 60 percent of the way to his 2012 earned-runs total.

He hasn't found the proper hat alignment yet.

[AZMike]

He hasn't found the proper hat alignment yet.

Maybe a trade to the Yankees is in order. Seems to be working for Vernon.

You know how he likes to hit against his old teams...

[Wallerrrr]

lots of aces got rocked today!

 

Hamels, Price, Dickey!

 

gonna be a long year for the Dickster up in Toronto if he keeps pitching the way he has been

[Wallerrrr]

by the way...the giants got their rings before the game today...pretty cool.

 

in the spirit of "everyone being in it together" the first pitch was thrown out by all 25 players...they each threw a ball into the stands.

 

(insert hamilton joke here if you must)

[jshep]

And Cain gave up 9 ER in 3.2 IP against the Cardinals.

 

Not a great day for aces.

[m0nkey]

I kind of want to see weaver get rocked and see which joker here says "it was to be expected, other aces got beat up too."

[mancini79]

M0nkey, you could have made the same reference and used Darvish instead.

[HaloMagic]

No, because Darvish will pitch a one hitter and some joker here will say "See, that proves he's not a true ace. He didn't get lit up today."

[AZMike]

No, because Darvish will pitch a one hitter and some joker here will say "See, that proves he's not a true ace. He didn't get lit up today."

 

the one hit will be a bunt single from Aybar
