Christ almighty Cleveland.

Anyway, I thought the Jays were headed toward getting swept by the Mets. Hopefully Dickface can get one on his old team tonight. 42 year old SP vs a 40 year old SP. Should be terrific.

What's with all the football scores lately? Hitters caught up with pitchers? Random drug screens haven't kicked in yet? Juiced Ball Theory?

Fun fact: Clayton Kershaw hadn't given up a HR to a left handed batter all season before Joey Gallo and Prince Fielder both went yard off him last night.

Kershaw did give up a grand slam to Bumgardner several weeks ago, but Mad Bum hits right handed.

He probably wanted to give up a couple of dingers to some "real hitters" so nobody could razz him anymore about Bumgardner's bomb

Was watching a Giants game a week or two ago when Tim Hudson was asked about Bum's hitting. Huddy said that Bum fancies himself to be a pretty good hitter. The announcers pointed out that both pitchers have pitcher-like career BAs of around .180, but Bum has hit something like 7 HRs in his career.

So he's defining "good hitter" as being someone like Dave Kingman?

a pitcher with a .500 OPS is considered a good hitter to many.

i never understood that.

There aren't many pitchers with more than a handful of ABs whose OPS for this season is currently above .500. Syndegraad's is .917 in 12 ABs. Bum's is .512 in 28 ABs.

Personally, I'm not really a fan of watching pitchers hit.
