Jeremy Guthrie just imploded. 8 runs in the first, 3 more in the second before he was pulled without getting an out.

According to the announcers that was wind-aided--guess he got it up high enough that it really, really carried.
Find a clip of Bryant's HR later that game to see a no-doubter--477 feet.
Amazing that with all Bryant's hype, Harper is still about a year younger.

I'd argue that Scherzer is the MVP of the Nats so far. Through two months: 72 IP, 85 K - 10 BB, 1.51 ERA. That's just sick.
Last night the Giants beat the Braves 7-0. It was their 8th shutout this month and their 4th shutout in a row at home.
Strasburg was just pulled after 16 pitches.
He was hanging his arm and shrugging his shoulder after a 97 mph fastball.

Yeah, didn't look good for Strasburg. Hopefully, it's not a big deal, but given his seemingly glass-made body, uggh.
And Bettis for Colorado had a no-hitter/no walks through 7, broken up in the 8th by Asche. May have been perfect, but I think Tulo might have had an error earlier in the game.
I was half-watching the Mets game earlier when I saw a moon shot HR leave the stadium. I had no idea who was up, but just from how far it went, I knew it must have been Giancarlo Stanton, and in fact it was. 466 feet, longest HR ever at Citi Field, breaking the previous record of 465 feet by....
yep, Giancarlo Stanton, in 2011.

Wacha entered the 6th pitching a no-hitter against the Dodgers. Left the game with two outs in the 6th, losing 4-1 after a Grandal homer.
Derek Fisher, an Astros prospect for High A Lancaster, hit 3 HRs (2 grand slams) and a triple last night en route to 12 RBIs last night.

Under 2 innings would be correct. In terms of starters, the only other one to give up 5 in 2 IP or less was the immortal Rob Bell in 2001 for Texas against the Yankees. His was exactly 2 IP.
Bartolo Colon just doubled into the gap and it got by Ichiro and he couldve got a triple if he busted it.
Hilarious. Colon is the only argument for pitchers hitting.

I enjoyed his jogging from first to second immensely. Would love to see Colon, CC and Panda in a foot race. 30 yards.soxhop411 said:
If they had kept running his innings count up that year and his career played out the same way how much blame would the Nats be copping for his injury list?E5 Yaz said:
I'd guess there would be plenty of people saying how his certain HOF career was ruined by injuries because he was overworked in his first year.

I wrote this about Colon a while back, in reference to Colon knocking himself out for the season while batting for the Red Sox in '08.
[SIZE=14.3999996185303px]I watched El Guapo bunt into a double play (third to first) and not be particularly close to beating it out. Olympic Stadium almost came down from the thunderous applause of Sox fans in Montreal that were too delighted to watch the whole sequence to care about how poorly it went.[/SIZE]
Harper versus Chapman: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/lets-watch-bryce-harper-face-aroldis-chapman/
I love that Harper altered his approach when facing Chapman. Smart hitter.
