Re: 6/25 - 7/1 Game Discussion Thread

Interesting thing to note...Padres Andrew Cashner has a no hitter going and straight DOMINATING but lets see the pitch count and how long he stays in since he's still in the process of converting. Has a pretty low pitch count right now.

I'm amazed that Cashner has been able to sustain his velocity even after moving back to starting. In the entire history of baseball you can count the number of starting pitchers on two hands who averaged 97+ MPH. His slider looks pretty nasty today as well.

Re: 6/25 - 7/1 Game Discussion Thread

Thank goodness for MLB.TV. Going to be watching four games going into the top of the hour, including Cashner's no-hit bid. Astros should feel pretty bad with west coast pitching beating them up like this; makes me wonder how they'll feel moving to the AL West next season.

EDIT: The audio was still on the White Sox screen, and I started hearing Hawk's home run call. Looks like the Sox pulled ahead in the 9th.

Even if Cashner turns out to be a good number 2 or number 3 starter, eating up innings and posting an ERA+ of at least 110 or so and Anthony Rizzo falls on his face again and struggles, I still hate the fact we needlessly traded a young first-base prospect for a previously-injured pitching prospect we really did not need, even with hindsight and all these injuries.

I think if you ask most Cubs fans here, they'll tell ya that I was not to please with trading Cashner. Big fan of him.

we're never going to have one

Re: 6/25 - 7/1 Game Discussion Thread

Yikes, my heart dropped on that Jeter shot. Chi Sox came away with one.

Oh, Cashner's no-hitter is gone as well.

Two games out of my view now.

Before giving up that HR, opposing hitters were 4 for their last 60 against Kimbrel.

DAMN.

Nice to see the return of the King with the shutout of Boston. 23 IP, 2 R, 30 K's, 3 BB's his last 3 starts.

Morales looked good. He made the M's look even more pathetic than normal.

No one said anything about the Cubs yesterday? 17-1 loss to the Mets. Jeff Samardijiza giving up 9 runs in 3.1 innings. Sad stuff.

What's there to say?

Re: 6/25 - 7/1 Game Discussion Thread

How about that game winning grand slam by the Padres on Brett Myers? It wasn't a walk off, but still. Astros suck. sometimes I wish I was a fan of another team, but proud to be an Astro fan.

As an Astros fan, everything about this team is going wrong. Management traded away Hunter Pence, Lance Berkman (understandable to a degree), and Michael Bourn and now the Astros are playing AL baseball next year.. The team lost 106 I believe last year. Out of all of the people they traded, Carlos Lee was not one of them. Which makes no sense. He was a good power producer, but only has 5 dingers this year. I have heard trade rumors around Jose Altuve, and if they trade him, I will officially not care about the MLB.
Honestly, this team will suck for another 5 years or so no matter the league. The pitching is far from good, and the closer Brett Myers pegged a run in. This team wont win for a while to come.

GMEN became the 17th team to have four or more consecutive shutouts since 1918. The Baltimore Orioles did it most recently, with five straight in 1995
