@ClintScoles: They had to bring in a cart to get Bubba Starling off the field. Looks pretty serious.

Lester is no-hitting the Braves. Last time he no-hit a team? 2008 Royals.

Starling possible knee injury trying to rob a hr

Funny thing is it wasn't a no-hitter until an inning ago. There was a first inning base hit. The Braves official scorer actually changed it to an error before the 7th inning... so now it's a no-hitter.

BBREF says free agent after the 2017 season.
Edit: woops, read it wrong originally. fixed.

Two more years, I believe. He's a free agent after 2017.

He'll be 32 to start the 2018 season, so that could be a tough call given his injury history and how aggressive he plays.

Two more years. Pretty much will run right through the tail end of his prime. That Greinke trade is looking like one of the better acquisitions of the last decade. He's probably going to end up giving you about 25-30 WAR before he hits FA.

Someone will pay him a mint when he hits FA. You'd probably be better off just taking the draft pick than paying $25M in AAV for a declining player.

Medlen could be activated tomorrow.

Tomorrow I would just use Duffy/Medlen for 9 in some way. Duffy needs to go at least 3-4 even if hes getting shelled.

Would be nice if some of the starters would at least go deeper (I'm looking at you Duffy and Ventura)

With Sale on the mound tomorrow...it could be a long day.

Detroit is 9.5 games back. Unreal.

I dont really ever want them to go more than 6 if its a close game. If its a blow out, yeah throw all the innings you want. We dont have to worry about playing 4 games in 3 days very often, 1 of which went to extra innings.

Billy just jacked one over CF. Oakland up 1-0 bottom 7th.

Thats the most he's helped KC in 3 years.
