That was waaaaaaaay to much work to beat the Astros. And almost a wasted effort by Yu. Fielder needs to get his **** together NOW.

What's the longest anyone's gone to start the season with out giving up a run?

I know Orel's streak carried over to the start of the next season, just no sure how many he got.

The score is 0-0 for all of Darvish's 190 pitches so far. Perhaps Yu, not Wash, should call and give a team meeting speech.

I'll double check, but IIRC, Hershiser went 56 IP... it was like '89.

Boy that's impressive

Here:

It was 59.

Webb went 42 in 2007.

If Darvish makes his next start it will be against Felix (Sea). I think Sea is a good team to keep scoreless, but getting Runs will be tough against Felix... although Texas has done quite well against him.

Then Oakland.

In that phenom season for Hershiser... He went 15-15 with a 2.31 ERA and 1.181 WHIP. He gave up 66 ERs in 33 GS and went 256.2 Innings.

8 CG and 4 SHO.

So, 4 of his 15Ws were CG SHOs.

I remember rushing to get back to my apartment to see how he had done each game.

59 was not to start the season was it?

I thought he had 40 or so to finish the year then another 19 to start the season.

Eric

It was across two seasons, but I thought the bulk was in '89. I'll check.

I think he did reach 40 in '88.

I knew it was across seasons... but didn't know the ration.

Hector Noesi is a Ranger.

Making Moves...

Schep

Moreland

Schep
Schep
Schep

The Astros with 6 guys batting .167 or lower.

Schep should just mow these guys down.

Let's say Shep goes 6 IP... 18 outs. At .167, statistically speaking they'd get 12 ABs... and he'll give up like 2 Hits to those guys.

Scheppers...back to the pen candidate no. 1

why does Moreland still have a major league job?

4 Hits the 2nd time through the lineup...

I have a feeling he just punched his ticket to the BP.

Colby is due back on Monday.

The schedule:
Sun Perez
Mon Ross
Tues Colby
Wed Darvish

Saunders on the DL (April 5th). That makes it the 18th before he'll be available (Friday).

Nick Martinez did well, yesterday.

Maybe they'll give Scheppers his next start, then activate Saunders into the rotation. I'm not sure which one I like better, other than Scheppers could be effective in the BP.

Arrencibia is awful..wow

Nice snag...

What. The. F***

Awful baserunning by rios. Way to make the first out at third with fielder at the plate.

Guys should be benched for **** like that.

Who the hell put that steal on? With a lefty hitter and no outs? As the tying run? Awful.

Seems like every game we have a wtf base running moment. That was awful

Should be a tie ball game. Once again....bone headed baserunning.

What in the f*** did we hire Tim Bogar for? How in the f***ing world are you dumb enough to try that with no outs and a power hitter that is 100% guaranteed to hit it to the right side if he makes contact?

I've seen little league coaches with more common f***ing sense.
