Sugar Shane doing work again today

[Dave_Glaser]

McClanahan heading into the 7th in Toronto with a 5-1 lead. He’s given up just 4 hits and walked one. With a win today, he’s tied for the AL lead, also has AL best ERA and leads the majors in strikeouts.

Awesome…a Rays win and a Sox win tonight puts Boston back in the first wildcard.

I’m pretty sure he will be heading to the All Star Game on 7/19

He has looked so good, especially in some recent starts where he’s started out with some early trouble but settles in and ends with a great line.  Now sitting with a 1.74 era on season and amazing .83 whip.  Is current k leader too.

Hes dominating.  Could have 2 more wins from earlier in the season.  Nice they gave him some support today.  I'm guessing Verlander will start the All Star Game as his numbers are similar.  Has one more win and the key factor is the Houston Manager Dusty Baker is coaching the American League

[Dave_Glaser]

And our boy Phoenix Sanders closes it out today. All Bulls, all day.

Shane is legit. The UNC start made me a believer years ago. Nice to see another Bulls player have so much success. Will the Rays pay him though is the question... My boy Soto (in a down year at that), is looking at $425M for 13 years.

Just Call Him 'Stud' Mclanahan

McClanahan improved to 9-3, 1.74, reclaimed the major-league strikeout lead with 133 and continued a remarkable run of consistently good outings, now 10 straight of six or more innings with at least seven strikeouts and two or fewer earned runs.

That is the longest such streak over a single season in American League history, and the longest in the majors since Randy Johnson had 14 in a row for Arizona in 1999. Pedro Martinez had a streak of 14 for Boston over the 1999-2000 seasons, with seven in each.

McClanahan also became the first pitcher, since at least 1901 (if not ever), to have allowed 19 or fewer earned runs and stuck out 133 or more batters in his first 16 starts.

 

Amazing

Imagine, some around here said he'd never be more than a relief pitcher ......

I remember that, however he is showing so much more now in terms of control and in durability.  He's a much better pitcher today.  Tip of the cap to the Rays and the power of the MLB.
