MLB Daily Thread: 08-28-17: Dodgers lose first home series since June & O's sweep Sox

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Yeah, I'm guessing people are forgetting that Cleveland actually played in the World Series last year? And that was with no pitching staff?

That's not fair, Hu. We had Corey Kluber. . .

 

[Rock Strongo]

Majors, not AL. 11th.

ahh, my bad

 

[packerzrule]

Brewers still have a pulse

 

[Rock Strongo]

chris sale is on pace to strike out 315 batters

the last guy to fan 300+ was clayton kershaw in 2015

before him, who was the last to fan 300+?

You haven't even answered the first two trivia questions that nobody gave a shit about!

i'll answer one

the sox have never had an MVP at 3rd or catcher

most is LF with 4...yaz, rice, teddy ballgame twice

They do, until I get back on their bandwagon...

I can be persuaded to ignore them for the rest of the season. I'm sure we can come to reasonable terms.

Because it's your trivia question, it has to be Pedro.

He may have gotten half way once.

That's because you're already dilated.

Indians starters K'ed 36 Yankees over 28.2 IP when they faced off earlier this month.

SWEET but most importantly, the yanks left Cleveland with a split

Hi Cotton, it's me, Hu

Global warming sure has made a mess of Houston, hasn't it

 

[OutlawImmortal]

WS hopes dashed, Dodgers lost a home series.

Hi Hu. Hurricanes are a recent phenomenon. I think the first one ever was in 1987, shortly after the term 'global warming' became a media darling. 117 years ago, Galveston was leveled by 120 mph winds. But that wasn't a hurricane, it was just a squall that got out of control. There weren't any hurricanes in 1900. Everyone knows that.

the answer is randy johnson in 2002 with 334 k's

sale is on pace to become only the 3rd pitcher in 15 years to do that, kinda cool.

1 week avi bet on the series?

2002 marked the 5th consecutive year that RJ fanned 300+. No other pitcher had more than 3 consecutive 300+ seasons.
