Wish I could watch the game.  I'll take your word for it.  One thing for sure, this ain't peak Scherzer.

And yet hes been very good in limited starts

Scherzer is throwing poop up there. Not a trade target, he looks washed.

Yep, not impressed at all.

I mean, Rodriguez is just as likely to blow up every inning, so there is that.

He's given up 3 or fewer runs in 13 of 17 starts.  2 or fewer runs in 12 of 17.   So how often has he actually "blown up" this year?

Anyone still want to trade for Scherzer?

Not really. Unless we are going to make another acquisition for the rotation in addition.

I’m not really in love with his stuff anymore. His margin for error is very thin now. 91 MPH fastballs don’t really work out that well at this level especially against good hitters/offense.

Why is MASN's game volume so soft? What is this, ASMR?

[Roy Firestone]

why cant Grod finish at 1-2?

[Malike]

39 pitches 3 whiffs. Just not missing bats right now.

[eddie83]

39 pitches already

He sporting an ERA close to 4 so I don’t want to pretend like he has been great. But he also hasn’t been bad either.

I would say a solid second season.

[Roy Firestone]

Grod pitch count is very high...

[Yossarian]

Mountcastle gets that

[eddie83]

Let’s get a double play

His slider and curveball have zero location. 

[eddie83]

There’s a K.

Meh... ERA is good.   Not much else.

FIP:  4.30

K-Rate:  7.6, lowest of the 17 seasons of his career so far.

HR Rate:  1.6, highest of the 17 seasons of his career so far.
