Yeah he was shaky with his command in the first two innings whcih got his pitch count up, and he had bad luck with that bloop double. The HR was really the only bad thing he did. He may not have deserved to win, but he didn't deserve to lose. I don’t get why they don’t force Olson to have to go opposite field. If you go inside on him, you’d better make sure it’s way in on the hands. Also, that strikeout call on Yuli last night was bullshit. Olson is a heck of a player. If the A's can get another good starting pitcher or two, they could easily be just as good as us next year. They have a great core of young/prime players. |

Win #20 for JV. If the no-hitter didn't do it, surely this has.

They have a great core of young/prime players. There lies the problem. The A's will not spend to get a legit starter. They are happy with being above average, banking money and not winning the ring. |

Me thinks CY race is tightening up. Cole now has a slightly lower ERA and has more K’s than JV. JV has the better WHIP, 20 wins and the no-hitter. If JV has an off game in his last start and Cole dominates and picks up his 20th win in his last start, he could get the nod for the CY over JV.

Yeah, this award is going down to the last game, and Cole is the one that's currently hotter. Right now I'd say it's completely even.

I like that idea but it won't happen.

Isn't having co-CYA winners kind of a slight to both guys?

It can happen since it is a vote. In 1979 Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez were co-MVPs NL Man, when I was a kid, everyone had a kickass mustache. |

I’m just thinking about the NFL and how lame it was when Peyton and McNair both won the MVP.

I bet in the last 25 + years there hasn't been two this close on the same team and worlds better than all the rest on other teams including the Astros. |

I still think the no-hitter gives Verlander an edge unless Cole's strikeouts are a deciding factor. If I knew winning the Cy Young would get Cole to re-sign with us, I'd try to bribe the media to vote for him. |

I wonder if winning the Cy Young will hurt our chances of resigning him or if it wouldn't make a difference. I vote for whatever needs to happen for him to be cheaper and stay in Houston. He can win it next year then  |

Ugh, what I've been doing today.
Future son in law wrecked his brand new 2020 Toyota worth $23k (and when I say wrecked I mean it's FUBAR) and the insurance company only wants to pay $19.5 for it. That pays off the remaining loan amount but the $4k he put down is toast. Expensive lesson for falling asleep behind the wheel.

If I knew winning the Cy Young would get Cole to re-sign with us, I'd try to bribe the media to vote for him. I think it's the opposite. Him winning the CYA would make it more difficult for us to sign him (as it will surely raise his price) |

Count me as one of the few who believes we keep him and I think we can get him for less than some think. Verlander money gets him. He knows that Strom has belped him get where he is and I think that, plus being on a winner with a good clubhouse helps sway him. |
