With how he has played in the second half, I would say that he deserves it 100%.Snell gets W #21 against TOR. 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 11 K, 2 BB.
CY bound.
I live in Jersey City but am quite nocturnal, heh.Jon, are you an East Coaster, or somewhere else?
I guess you are. I remembered this game and started watching just at the right time.I live in Jersey City but am quite nocturnal, heh.
Same here! Didn't expect that going in. Something about dopedom makes us night owl East coasters though.I guess you are. I remembered this game and started watching just at the right time.
A's were 68-0 when leading after seven, they are now 68-1.Has to be the A’s worst loss of the year, considering the time of the year.
A’s announcers never said whether he was or not.I guess Familia wasn't available?
Looks like he pitched three of the previous four days so presumably not.A’s announcers never said whether he was or not.
Only the 19th walkoff hit for a P as a PH since 1908, of extra-inning games. Last was Yovani Gallardo against the Brewers, 5/27/14. First Giant to ever do so, although they were victimized once in 1988 by LA's Tim Leary.Ha, and Bumgarner just had a pinch-hit walkoff single in the 12th.
Scherzer now has 2,449 strikeouts in his career, so that leaves him just 3,265 strikeouts behind Nolan Ryan. He needs to average only 326.5 strikeouts over the next 10 seasons to tie the record!
on the other hand, a perfect record when leading after 7 was unsustainable. get that shit out of the way now instead of next Wednesday.Has to be the A’s worst loss of the year, considering the time of the year.
Looking at potential difference of only 12 innings, I think the ERA is what wins it for deGrom, but who knows, voters may want to help make history again, with Scherzer winning a 3rd straight Cy (and maybe the final one given his age?)If Scherzer pitches on Sunday, he could finish 19-7, 227 IP (more than any AL Cy Young contendent), 310 K, 2.50 ERA.
Jacob DeGrom goes tonight, but even if does pitch well and finishes 10-9, 265 K, 215 IP, 1.80 ERA, is that going to be enough?
I may have spoke too soon. deGrom goes 8 shutout innings, 2 H, 0 BB, 10 K. Finished the year at 1.70 ERA. Now that's one hell of a closing argument.
Top of the 9thSoul crushing two out, two run double by Pittsburgh in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game.
1 week later, how drastically have the odds changed with the Rockies 1 game up in the loss column?The Dodgers sweep pretty much settles that division race -- LAD at 93% per BP, 96% per Fangraphs
FG and BP haven't updated their playoff odds with tonight's results yet. 538 has LAD at 40% now.1 week later, how drastically have the odds changed with the Rockies 1 game up in the loss column?
