BALLGAME
A MADDUX FOR KLUBER

 

[Soar]

85 pitch complete game? Damn.

 

[Casualties14]

Impressive from Kluber

 

[gijimbo]

85 pitch shut out? Unbelievable performance by Kluber.

 

[Stark]

That contract that Masterson wanted? Kluber should get it.

 

[AZ_]

Quick research:

Corey Kluber is the fourth player in ML history to have 8+ K in a shutout with 85 pitches or less (Maddux, RoyH, RHarden)

 

[MoFlo]

Kluber:

Last 3 starts: 2-0; 0.67 ERA; 26.2 IP; 2 ER; 12 H; 1 BB; 28 K

Last 7 starts: 5-1; 1.32 ERA; 54.2 IP; 8 ER; 34 H; 6 BB; 56 K

Last 17 starts: 9-3; 2.16 ERA; 121.1 IP; 29 ER; 92 H; 23 BB; 135 K

Last 22 starts: 11-5; 2.38 ERA; 155 IP; 130 H; 30 BB; 168 K

Wow, he is dealing right now. Who would have ever thought he was once a 25 year old just getting to AAA who was known for not having the intestinal fortitude to avoid big innings?

Kluber won't be a free agent until 2019.

Boom

 

[Frank Stallone]

That was fucking filth.

First pitcher in the last 100 years to face one over the minimum through 9 IP in back-to-back starts.

How did Kluber get so good this year out of nowhere? Definitely the best surprise of the Tribe's season this year.

How did Kluber get so good this year out of nowhere? Definitely the best surprise of the Tribe's season this year.

Arguably, best surprise in the league.

I'd put it on a sooner or later rather than out of nowhere. He bas filthy stuff, and when you pound the strikezone you will eventually just have everything click.
