Cereal is taking too long. I looked it up and that's the three.

Conversely, these three are also all in the top 10 in Ground into Double Plays (GDPs).

Fuck you

I know, but you did look it up.

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck you

Is that because you take too long, or because those three fags all GDP at alarming rates?

I wonder which Trevor Bauer we'll see tonight.

 

[navamind]

5.25 ERA, 9-8

Just knows how to win

 

[molsaniceman]

can say the same thing about porky after last night might get a pitchers duel

 

[soxfan1468927]

An excellent Trevor Bauer. Porcello is pitching so the offense is going to take a nap. But then again I penciled in a loss when Doug Fister went.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Any of you Sox fans want a 1-week avi bet on tonight's game?

Sox sweeping the Indians spells trouble for the Yankees in Cleveland this weekend

Simply law of averages in baseball when a good team is losing more than they should

 

[soxfan1468927]

Porcello has the 7th lowest run support/IP in the AL. E-Rod is 9th.

Thats ok, he won a CY Young because he had the most support in baseball last season, so fuck him

 

[redseat]

Suicide, here I come again

Stan's will miss you

 

[soxfan1468927]

I mean, he also had the 5th lowest ERA, 2nd lowest FIP, while leading the league in K/BB, and was only .15 away from the league leader in ERA.

Kinda funny last year, among pitchers with at least 20 starts, they had 3 starters in the top 6 in the AL and E-Rod was dead last.

 

[cerealboi]

Here's another interesting trivia question and I have no idea what the answer is.

Porcello currently leads the league in losses with 14 and he may very well get to 20 by the end of the season.

What is the most losses by a pitcher who won the Cy Young the prior year?

Don't know the number, but was it Greinke?

I'd have given it to Verlander last year. I'd probably go with Kluber over Porcello too.
