6-0, 1.35 ERA, 46.2 IP, 75 Ks, 9 BBs
Leads league in wins, ERA, IP, Ks, bWAR, and fWAR
I think it's an interesting year for pitchers. Small sample size so and restricted schedule means they will really be limited in quality of opponent. But Indians are 7-0 when he pitches and 12-12 when he...
Excellent game. Yeah the Pats defense didn't show up, but Foles made some money throws.
I'll also say that I think the refs did a damn good job. Mostly let them play and the TD review calls were both correct.
Pats offense had to be perfect to win the game because defense, special teams, and...

One of the worst trades in baseball history that isn't talked about that much.
Reds trade Christy Mathewson for Amos Rusie.
Rusie was a 19th century baseball stud, and a future HOFer, but for the Giants he lasted 3 games, had a 8.59 ERA, and retired.
Mathewson was a 20 year old who had...
Well, Red Sox season over. Astros the better team. I picked them in 4 to start the series and picked them to eliminate the Red Sox at the beginning of the season so I shouldn't be surprised. Just sucked to lose like that when they had a lead in the 8th.
Love that we get a game 5 and hopefully...
Not a good start for the Red Sox pitching and Yankees offense. Now having to face Keuchel and Kluber to avoid going down 0-2.
Keuchel vs Pomeranz at 2:00
Sabathia vs Kluber at 5:00
Hendricks vs Strasburg at 7:30
Walker vs Kershaw at 10:30
2 games in and we haven't seen a starter get into the 5th inning.
Sale vs Verlander at 4
Bauer vs Gray at 730
Biggest moment of the night, bottom of the 7th, 2 outs, 2 men on, Archie Bradley up to bat and hits a 2-run triple. First extra base hit of his career.
1st postseason game with 4...
Red Sox magic number down to 1 no thanks to them. Thank you Tampa! Could clinch before they even take batting practice with the Blue Jays/Yankees playing a Friday afternoon game.
Cardinals loss officially eliminates them from postseason play. Back to back years without a playoff appearance for...
The Brewers loss to the Cubs gives Chicago a 5-game lead in the loss column. NL Central looks like it's going to the Cubs unless Milwaukee can win the next 3.
Rockies and Brewers loss, coupled with a Cardinals win puts 3 teams separated by 1 game in the loss column for the final NL Wild Card...
Red Sox down 5-0 and 6-1 rally back to win 10-8 in extra innings. Fister sucked but the bullpen went 9 IP giving up 2 ERs. Last 6 innings allowed just 4 base runners, 2 of which were thrown out on the basepaths. Magic number down to 4 for the playoffs and 10 for the division.
Yankees get a nice...
Saved the most exciting win for game 22. Indians tie it after being down to their last strike with a Lindor double, Bruce wins it in the 10th. That place was electric too. Indians magic number for the division down to 3.
Red Sox and Yankees both win so the Yankee stay 3 games back.
Twins win...
Season will start on March 29th with all 30 teams playing. First time they've done that.
4 extra off days for every team
Red Sox vs Yankees will conclude the season at Fenway
Here's my predictions for the top 10 defensive players by position in 2014
Catchers
1. Yadier Molina (Cardinals)
2. Salvador Perez (Royals)
3. Matt Wieters (Orioles)
4. Russell Martin (Pirates)
5. Buster Posey (Giants)
6. Ryan Hanigan (Reds)
7. A.J. Ellis (Dodgers)
8. Yan Gomes (Indians)

Two guys that most of us can recall virtually their entire careers. Two guys who both won 4 Cy Youngs in a row. Two guys that both won one World Series. Two guys with nearly identical career WAR.
And yet two guys with very different styles of dominance.
