Merging into the Something Special lane
Question: When was the last time anybody in the ML's threw back-to-back shutouts and gave up 6 hits or less, combined?
Answer: I don't have the foggiest!
Likely: It's been a long while!
Statement: What Mike Montgoeery has just done is pretty special in the history (well, since 1990) of MLB ball.
Statement #2: KC had an idea when they took him as #36 in '08.
Cheech and Chong mention: Remember the line, "They call me old Cucumber Head," from Los Cochinos? Kewl as a cucumber, that's our Monty.
Statement #2: And you still think Zunino should be in AAA? And I'm not talking about his tater tonight, either.
Pointing to the obvious: Paxton, Elian. Montgomery and Happ is a boatload of good lefties. Hmmmmmm.....What do you think Happ brings us in return pretty soon?
'Kuma mention: 'Kuma whom?
My bad: If something similar popped up in the Shout Box, it's becaue this new format has me a bit bamboozled right now. Kinda,like hitters....er, non-hitters....facing Montgomery.
Doc will likely provide the expert analysis. Technical stuff like pitches and 1st pitch strikes, etc. It will be excellent, bet on it. But like Joe Friday, I get to ask the easy questions.
Just the facts, ma'am.
Ooooo-eeeeee, Montgomery is coookin' with oil!
Were we brilliant (meaning, did we know what we were getting?) or did we luck into a young Whitey Ford?
Either way: You go kid!
