Sanchez with a Stanton (four strikeouts) tonight. Looking like a flash in the pan at this point.

There is no possible way there was a kid in your class dumb enough to have you cheat for him.

Miggy hit his 492nd career home run in the Major Leagues against All-Star starting pitcher Giolito today, which is the second time that he's gone deep against him this season.

"The legend of Jacob deGrom continued to grow Saturday in San Diego.

The New York Mets ace flummoxed the Padres for seven brilliant innings at Petco Park, striking out 11 and allowing only three hits on 85 pitches. DeGrom's shutout outing lowered his ERA to a sparkling 0.62, a new record for the lowest ERA through a pitcher's first nine starts of a season, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com. His 0.57 WHIP is also the lowest over the first nine starts of a campaign since 1901."

 

He's f'n ridiculous.

He's f'n ridiculous.

his trajectory is nuts.  He had a 4.51 era in the minors at age 25 and then instantly became the most dominant pitcher in baseball.  He's got 93 k and 8 walks in 58ip this year.  His run is Koufax like relative to the time only with a shift from 26 to 30 for Sandy to 27 to 33 for Jake.  

I think if he does this for a couple more years he could be a HOFer regardless of his late start.

That's because we're positive people.

The Orioles not only snapped a 14 game losing streak, they’ve won 4 out of 5 including two straight against the Twins and 2 out of 3 vs the Indians.

D-Backs take over the top spot in the Tanking standings, two games up on the O’s.
