I don't care if he's due to get hit hard by the hammer of regression, I'm going to bask in every outing like this I can get.

 

Why do you think this will necessarily happen?  It's not like Santana is just blowing away dudes (phrasing) with his fastball.  He has 4 legit pitches he throws.  Gets weak contact.  He's sustained this type of pitching dating back to last July.

No one sustains this type of pitching as a starter, especially given ESan's k/bb rates.

 

90%+ LOB (vs a career mark of 73%)

 

.143 BABIP (vs career of .282)

 

Clayton Kershaw, in his best full seasons, had marks of 81.6% and .250.

This game has seemed to move along very quickly or those Christina Applegate pics quickened my heartbeat a bit.

Let me paraphrase and then misattribute as a direct quote:

 

"Ervin Santana a much better pitcher than Clayton Kershaw - confirmed."

I'll give up my  partial credit for the Dozier HR, BUT I'm hanging on to my credit for my "Santana shut them down HARD, tonight"...   ;)

Wow!  Any unbelievers left out there?  First time in an eternity that the O's have been shut out at home.

Now all we'll need is someone to stick it as a signature line and it will become undeniable history.

Winnah.

Complete game shut out, to boot.

What's not to like about the game and the season?

I didn't enjoy the quickness of tonight's game. Not even drunk yet
