Eh - he had 4 walks. I'm not really impressed by anything with more than 3 walks (even 3 is maybe too many). I'm more impressed with a 1 or 2 hitter with no walks.

Yeah, but look at Arrieta's career up until the last year. He was mediocre at best in Baltimore. Even in Chicago, what he's done in the second half of last year and to start this year doesn't seem possible.

Prime candidate for PEDs obviously. This might be the greatest pitching run of all time. He's closing in on a full season with an ERA of 0.5. Doesn't seem normal for a guy who was an average at best pitcher before this run.

Because people don't want to talk about him in the Jays thread, there has been some interesting analysis of Syndergaard lately. Namely that he would most likely never have been the Thor today if it wasn't for the move to the Mets.
Basically, as mentioned in some other articles, Syndergaard is throwing that Dan Warthen slider. He learned it from Dan Warthen. He didnt have it before last yr. and its changed his game
Pablo Sandoval having shoulder surgery and to be out for the season
Hopefully for his sake he gets his life together and takes the shoulder rehab as a kickstart to do something about his weight. Red Sox or not, it's sad to see someone just completely give up on themselves like that.

Bryce Harper has walked 6 times, three intentional, and has been hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Cubs making him the first player in the last 100 years to reach base 7 times without an official AB
