Good ole' Slinky...

"Here, let me refute your point with a piece of data that actually SUPPORTS your point!"

3 starts to go, and he's already eclipsed last year's combined innings from AAA and the Majors.

Cubs with eight straight base runners to start the fifth. Seven hits and an error, the error should have been a hit.

@SlinkyRedfoot leave your little brother alone. You know how easily @Huwaryu_in_exile takes the bait.

I'm going 9-0 today. Gotta really good feeling about today. I'm a winner. People like me.

You said:

deGrom seems to be just getting tired; he has gone way beyond what he tossed in 2014. He has never thrown this much before and it's starting to wear.

In 2014, he pitched 178.2 innings. He's pitched 181.0 innings in 2015.

Maybe it's semantics, but I don't consider 181.0 innings to be "way beyond" 178.2.

Fine, then: "he's going boldly where no deGrom has gone before"

You kinda hafta figure: 40-odd innings in Triple A last year are nothing like 40-odd innings in the Majors. He has very likely thrown way more pitches per inning at this level...which is why the whole "Harvey hard innings cap" from Boarass is kinda stupid.

There are innings, and there are innings.

ok Hu you can have some ice cream, but no sprinkles.

Why is it that whenever the Astros were sucking, they had no problems beating the Rangers? But when it matters most, they can't win to save their souls.

Harvey the new Joba.

I should smack you down...but not today. Today, I'm a winner.

Someone ought to smack your mommy for putting those ideas in your head. The world needs losers too.

It's different, though. 6.5 innings per start this year, 6.1 per start last year. May seem insignificant, but the starts in the bigs were just 6.3 innings per start, so that means that the wear is differe....

Wait.



No, you're right. Not that much different to be taken from the innings-pitched angle, comparing 2014 to 2015.

[obxyankeefan]

Pirates scorer likes to give undeserved errors to Pirate fielders today. That should have been scored the old Double to the 2b, not a single and error.

@obxyankeefan gracias, amigo.

I wish we had a Trump calling someone a "loser" button on here. Just press it on their posts instead of a thumbs-down.

Maybe set it as someone's text alert sound.
