Today's slate.

The Big Hurst - Zack Greinke

skoormit - Cliff Lee

La Osa Rosa - Anibal Sanchez

The Whole Enchilada: Who does skoormit pick against when he's not picking on Marliners?
The Biggerst: Speaking of Jose Fernandez
Score With: He also leads the league in celebrationism.

RESULTS

The Tigger: Seriously, dude, don't eff with a streak.  I hope you're wearing the same underwear every day.  Meanwhile, according to YCPB, Zack Greinke is batting nearly .350 and has been worth 1.0 WAR with his bat.

The Big Hurst - Alex Cobb

skoormit - Matt Garza

La Osa Rosa - Jorge de la Rosa

RESULTS

The Big Hurst: The WGN announcers called this one of the most bizarre plays they'd ever seen. One impossibly rotten second for Nate Schierholtz.

The Big Hurst - Bruce Chen

skoormit - Chris Sale

La Osa Rosa - Felix Hernandez

The Big Hurst: Daisuke Matsuzake???  Do it.  Doooooo it.
La Osa Rosa: I pick Felix Hernandez today. Why didn’t they take Strasburg out when he had a 76? You’re dumb, Washington Nationals. I could have had 5 points.
The Big Hurst: Dear Nats, Please fire your manager and replace him with La Osa Rosa.  Watch morale immediately improve.  Love, Me.

RESULTS

The Big Hurst: I was concerned I'd blarfed.  Whew.

Today's slate.

The Big Hurst - Clayton Kershaw

skoormit - Clayton Kershaw

La Osa Rosa - Stephen Strasburg

The Big Hurst: The primary administrator gets first pick.  Droit du seigneur, or something.  Cool Trout app, bro.  Cool.  Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki.  4000 is 4000 in any league.
skoormit: I don't always coattail on someone already picked, but when I do, it's because he's the best pitcher in the world and he's pitching against the worst offense in years.
La Osa Rosa: You got to pick Clayton Kershaw, but he’s against the dreaded Marliners. Your arch nemesis. I’ll pick Stephen Strasburg. I’ve never picked him before, so I hope he does me right.
The Big Hurst: Booooo, coat-tailer!  Eternal scorn and humiliation!   Give him the Scarlet "C"!  Plus, you may have outsmarted yourself, because the Marliners are only good when I pick against them.  You'll be ruined.  Ruined!
La Osa Rosa: Scorn to skoormit for picking Clayton Kershaw! You're acting like a bunter.

RESULTS

The Big Hurst: Scooooooorn! You know, the primary problem with coat-tailing here is that it you took away my opportunity to catch up.  If you intentionally pick the same pitcher I pick, especially somebody like Kershaw, you're effectively insulating yourself against second place.  It's a bit like batting .2995 going into the last day of the season and sitting it out.  So, boooooooo!  Then again, coat-tailing a guy (that actually gets five points) indicates, perhaps, a super-confident pick in this game.  Howabout 1 point for a 60?  Well done, except Strasburg had a 76, I believe, (first place!) going into the 9th inning and they let him foul it up.
