Clayton Kershaw threw a complete-game shutout. Somehow, he managed to keep Bartolo Colon from going yard. No other Mets pitchers homered, either. That’s how you know Kershaw was in a zone. The 13 strikeouts hint at it, too.
Still, pitchers hitting is all the rage, and because Kershaw didn’t bat flip at any point, Zack Greinke wins the day.

The new Modern Baseball album is out and it is terrific. I mention this because the band’s name is what it is, and because, to get cheeky, Noah Syndergaard was playing the exact opposite kind of ball on Wednesday. He saw Bartolo Colon’s home run and raised it one more, becoming the first pitcher to homer twice in a game since 2007.
What can’t he do?

Oh, and I guess that elbow he quietly had examined two weeks ago is just fine for hitting.
Some days, you’ve just got it like that.
Ender won’t save them, but he’ll make them a little more watchable.
While Stephen Strasburg is stacking paper to the ceiling, the rest of us are left to feel like this.
The Roto Riteup advocates for the day after Mother’s Day to be a national holiday, as millions of children around the world are nursing hangovers after being forced to spend time with family. Not this gentleman, of course, because my mother is a delight and this is published in a public forum.
