Marquee match-ups 2012: Verlander/Felix. Still a good one, though.

Kershaw-Scherzer must rank up near the top of post-season match-ups historically.

Kershaw-Greinke for the first time ever. (That didn't seem right--thought they matched up at least once last year--but I checked and it is.)

Verlander-Kluber today.

So much for that.

You got an old man match up tonight in Chicago with 40 year old Bronson Arroyo going for the Reds against 38 year old John Lackey against the Cubs. I'm sure Arroyo will be doing high kicks and Lackey will be complaining about strikes. Reds won the first match up in Cincy back in April between these two.
Couldn't find it, but that might have been the first time they faced off.

sure looks like Arrieta's days as an ace are numbered

Scherzer-Carlos Martinez.

lots of good pitchers going today

arrieta was good today

yeah he looked solid, effective but not dominant

verlander somewhat less so

scherzer has 5 strikeouts through 6, and this cardinals lineup is due for a complete embarrassing implosion so i'd expect several more

Sale-Sabathia. More like a marquees-passing-in-the-night match-up. And they have the same initials. At least I think they do--I'm not sure.
― clemenza, Saturday, 19 August 2017 15:33 (seven years ago) link
I was looking at the Red Sox schedule to gauge if I'm going to see Sale, and it looks good; he's scheduled to go on Tuesday, Aug. 29, and I'm down there on the 28/29/30.
Also noticed how close a Sale/Kluber match-up this Thursday is; it would require a Cleveland rainout or, as a gift to the world, holding back Kluber an extra day.
― clemenza, Sunday, 20 August 2017 14:34 (seven years ago) link
Greinke-Bumgarner...who still looks marquee to me, abbreviated season and terrible team aside.
― clemenza, Saturday, 16 September 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link
Severino-Price? Price is having a pretty good year--probably not marquee-level anymore, though.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:00 (six years ago) link
Kluber/Seve--never mind.
― clemenza, Friday, 13 July 2018 05:03 (six years ago) link
against all odds, scherzer/hamels is a good battle so far

Besides the Sale-deGrom partial match-up, there's Verlander/Greinke.

Kershaw-Freeland.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 15:11 (six years ago) link
Scherzer-deGrom; definite Cy Young implications.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 23:59 (five years ago) link
Freeland? I should stick with actual marquee match-ups.

Scherzer-Verlander! I rarely root against either of them, but I want the Astros to win 1-0 tonight. (The game is free on mlb.com.)
― clemenza, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 18:23 (one year ago) link
I want anyone but the Astros to win.
I have to admit, I have been very impressed with Altuve lately.

Realistically, I think any Jays fan assumes Texas will be easier to stay ahead of.
How's this for complicated wording?
Justin Verlander & Max Scherzer will be the 1st former Cy Young winners to be teammates earlier in a season and THEN face each other later in that season, with both pitching for different teams than where they were teammatesh/t @EliasSports pic.twitter.com/M86VZcw9tm— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) September 6, 2023

I'm not sure the last bit is even necessary--I would think "1st former Cy Young winners to be teammates earlier in a season and THEN face each other later in that season" would be enough.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 18:28 (one year ago) link
So much for that--Scherzer's getting hammered.
