Jack Flaherty tore it up on the mound today. He busted out more than a strikeout per inning, allowed just one walk & put up six goose eggs in a very fine quality start...

6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 7 K

 

[death2redemptions]

They take him out of the game and the Pirates immediately hit a home run against the Cards pen. Why, oh why, did they take him out so soon? His pitch count was only at 84, he could have easily put up another scoreless inning before opening it up for the set-up man (whoever that may be).

 

[death2redemptions]

Hell yeahz! Cards hold onto the lead and Flaherty gets the win with a quality start.

I think in a couple years Flaherty will become a frontline (#1 or #2) starter

 

[death2redemptions]

Dang, Flaherty has an 11.0 K/9 rate (to go along with a 3.1 BB/9 rate) in his first full season in the majors. He'll certainly get some ROY votes.

CRUZZZZZ CONTROL!!!!

Who says the M's don't score no runs? The big guy knocks in a 2 run hit with bases loaded

He has been roughly half the offense in that timespan.

That’s amazing. Bret and Macho win in my book.

I’m going to see Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Bad Wolves and Nothing More on Tuesday night in St. Louis.

I think 5FDP has been closing most of the shows, and I was hoping they’d close this one too so I could beat the traffic because they’re awful, but it looks like Breaking Benjamin is going to close the show because they’re suuuuuper popular in St. Louis and always go on last there.

Should be a good show though.

They were allowed to either dress up as wrestlers, Supersonics, or homosexuals. This is what the other guys did...

Breaking Benjamin sounds familiar yet Im trying to think what song of theirs Ive heard.. none of the names are ringing a bell. Were they in a big movie soundtrack at one point?

No idea.

oh damn, it looked like the Yanks were finally going to win one off the Sox but Bos just scored 3 in the bottom of 9th!

 

[JVHaste]

...and Sox win in the 10th. Yankees only problem right now is their hitting, pitching, and fielding.

Mookie Betts possibly passing Trout in the MVP race.

I hope they do well for Aaron Boone’s sake.

He needs to bang his wife then get some beef jerky from his brother.

Then maybe retire, managing in NY isn't worth it.

 

[JVHaste]

I mean, if they win people will say its from the huge payroll, if they lose they will blame you.

It’s definitely been a thankless job for just about everyone not named Joe Torre.
