Fyi can move later to ex Sox

He’s at 95 pitches and needs to get through 2 more innings.

His ERA is down to 3.56.

That’s was a big inning.  Barely threw any pitches.  Through 8 innings and now at 103 pitches.  ERA down to 3.53.

I took the over on his Wins for the season (it was 10) before he was traded. Looks like he’s trying to win me that bet today!

Could come down to former Padre CJ Abrams. 

Suarez up and ready for SVO. 

109 pitches

Might get pulled but will fight to stay in obviously. 

Zimmerman and Scherzer other no hitters in WSH. 

 

Joe Musgrove with other no hitter in team history, Luis Arraez noe on SD broke up Cease attempt two years ago.

Not gonna lie, I feel sick to my stomach watching him celebrate with the Padres.

CEASE!  Congrats to him, that is awesome!

 

Big rain delay in middle... didn't come out bottom of first was fortunate. 

First Cease career no hitter. 

3.50 ERA. 

10th win in 22 starts. 

 

117 pitches 71 strikes and 9 k's.

Really? I honestly feel nothing.

Nice. Good for him. Thorpe still has a lower ERA though

Yeah who really cares? It's not like he is on some Frank Thomas level or something. I mean good for him, but it means nothing ultimately. Phillip Humber threw a perfect game and he sucked.

No who did the Sox get for Cease?

Did you watch it? I tuned in on MLB TV mid celebration and its just like, he would be our ace and the only reason he isn't is because the owner has no desire to pay people high level money. It sucks.

I would only be annoyed if the Padres could trade Cease now for more than what the Sox got back, which may or may not be true.

But I know Cease wouldn’t be this good with Getz’s awful offseason built defense playing behind him.  Thorpe also helps.

Recently returned Bogaerts and Merrill in CF had highlight plays in this one on defense. 

HaSeong Kim managed a three run single, barely a 2 hour game but a lengthy delay at beginning of game. 

Good for him.

If the Padres were more of a class organization, they would send us over a little something extra....I'm sure Jerry wouldn't say no to a little "money named later."

And to think Orioles could've had that guy... but he isn't that good according to their fans

Since you last called out Cease for his high ERA, he has dropped it from 4.24 to 3.50 in only four starts.  Crazy.

Well, so much for the Cease is failing meme of the Getz Defense Corporation.

And still higher than Drew Thorpe. Crazy.

Comparing ERAs between one starter with only 38.2 innings pitched and another starter with 131 innings pitched doesn’t seem like the greatest comparison.  One mediocre to bad start could shoot up Thorpe’s ERA through the roof.

Also, don’t look at their respective K/9.  Hopefully, Thorpe improves his over time.  Until then, only Cease can be considered a true ace.
