Sweets at Argos:
Webb (on 3-days rest) vs deGrom
For the record, I don't condone pitching guys on short rest, I've done a bunch of simulations and IN GENERAL it rarely works. It's kind of like how the system treats players who exceed their usage. Over time the software will turn the player into a replacement (or sub-replacement) level player. But that doesn't mean they won't have a good game or two along the way. That's just how baseball is. Pitching on short rest is kind of the same thing. What typically happens is you get a lot of walks, wild pitches, and almost always a very quick hook which just ends up burning through your bullpen. Typically.
So having saId all that, what happened?
Webb pitches a complete game!
Webb - 8 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 2 K's. Interestingly he pitched to contact (a lot) as he ended the game with only 80 pitches thrown.
The problem is the guy on the other side was better.
deGrom - 6 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, 11 K's and more importantly 0 runs.
Argos win 2-1 and have a 3-1 lead in the series.
Fun fact - both the Argos runs were of the non-RBI versions. That's odd.
In the 4th they scored a run on a double-play ball.
In the 5th the scored another run on a double, SB, and a wild pitch.
Landlubbers at Rougarou:
All this Rougarou talk about Verlander and Cole and Johnny Cueto tonight said hold my beer.
The 37 year old twisted and turned his way to a complete game shutout.
Cueto = 9 innings, 5 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 4 K's and he induced double-plays in the 1st, 7th, and 8th innings.
Not that the offense needed much behind Cueto's gem, but Buxton was the star of the show at the plate with a 3-1-2-3 line with a 2-run HR in the 5th.
Rougarou win 6-0 and also have a 3-1 lead in the series.
