    5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 7 BB, and 3 wild pitches. That line got Lucas Giolito a W today.

      ...but he got the win. You can only pitch to the score. That's what's important here...

        That's not pitching to the score. That's bad offense and baserunning by the Cubs.

          That was 100%, unadulterated sarcasm on my part...I should have put a smiley face I guess.

            I think that was plenty sarcastic enough to not warrant any other hints.

              I'm loving this kid more and more.

              I'm really curious what LAA does when he gets injured (God forbid). I would suspect his arm is and always will be the priority.

                    Harsh blow for the M's today. Can't let the Angels and Stros separate from the pack but it's gonna be harder to keep up without Cano.

                      Hard to believe the Reds have won 6 straight and are one of the, if not the, hottest team in baseball going into today's games.

                      Question...

                      Of the teams that are currently leading their division (BOS/NYY, CLE, HOU, ATL, MIL, ARI) which team is most likely to not be leading come the All-Star Break?

                      For me its the Brewers. The NL Central is close with 4 teams over .500 all within a game, but I can't shake the feeling, as much as I hate it, that eventually things are going to rocket in Chicago and the Cubs will be leading by 5 games come the All-Star Break. The Cardinals can't get out of their own way (please move Waino to the bullpen or DFA him), I don't believe the Pirates will keep this up, and the I don't know that the Brewers are going to surprise anyone this year.
                      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                      I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                        Atlanta.

                        I love their lineup but they're expecting rookies and sophomores to sustain their play and that'll be tough.

                        Plus, the SP and bullpen can get awful quite quickly.

                          I'm torn between all 3 of the NL teams. Atlanta has played so well so far and I can't tell if it's for real yet or not. The Brewers have to fend off the Cardinals and the Cubs who are both better teams, IMO. Arizona has hit a slump and so far their offense has been horrendous (bottom 3 in all of baseball for runs scored last I checked). If the Rockies/Giants/Dodgers get hot/healthy, their lead may be short lived.

                          In the AL, I think those are the teams we expected to be there...so no surprises.

                            Speaking of Arizona, Goldie and his deep struggles have to be one if the biggest topics this year. Heard a stat yesterday: with pitches that were 95+, he's yet to get a hit which is last amongst qualified hitters.

                              That makes sense...when I've watched him he's been striking out a LOT on off speed stuff because he's cheating for the fastball and is overcommitted to the breaking stuff. I saw it happen multiple times against the Dodgers last week. Makes you wonder if he's already slowing down and having to adjust/start early already.

                                In a sport where people unironically tout mistakes as a feature of the game, you can never really know.
