It's one game. Take a step back.

Again less about results today and more just him being a two-pitch pitcher.  Just not ready for them to pay him like an ace while he has a few years left on his deal.  Some on here were acting like not extending him was the worst thing ever.

Where did Burdi’s fastball go? 

Well, at least the last one to Gonzalez had some life on it.

7 earned runs, leaves with a 5.79 ERA after starting the game just above 3.

So much for our +/- RS and RA differential argument.

I think JD hit a fastball on to the freeway 

That was a slider.

Ugh! Yesterday seems sooo long ago!

This is what he’s been around since the injury 

Maybe people can chill on the cy young talk for a little bit.  I understand it's one game before someone tells me that.  

Giolito just having a bad day. I will be interested in hearing the details of his outing in the post game stuff and hear from Lucas himself. You always have that concern about an injury though 

I have to apologize to everyone. I caused this by having the nerve to bet the under on the game at 8. I figured with these to starters it was easy money. HA!

Burdi seems to have settled down a bit, so that's good.

Did Bieber die?

A dislocated patella really caused problems with the leg drive.

No he didn't.  I never said giolito was going to win it. Some posters have suggested he could.

No, Rodon reemerged!

At what point is the Grandal CERA thing no longer SSS? Or do we just continue to downplay CERA as some fluky stat not worth paying attention to?

Stand up triple for Nick.  Nice way to start.  Games not over yet.

Nick’s gonna hit for the cycle today 

Nicky triple!

His result have been fine for the rest of the season. 

Nick can swing that thing!

Great series for him!

That was his best chance at a HR so i doubt it

At least the Robert + Madrigal recent developments have been promising.

Might be time to have a Collins/Gio pairing.

Well, it might be the worst thing ever not to have an ace...unless it’s going to be Rodon or Kopech, not many candidates.

Madrigal’s first big league triple.  Wrapped around that RF curve.

How’s it been this year compared to Collins?  Pitching overall has been great so hard to complain....yet
