Almost marquee; sort of marquee; could've been marquee...I'm down at the game tomorrow night, and will miss Kershaw-Stroman by a day; getting Stroman-Maeda instead. I've had my fingers crossed since we bought the tickets a month ago.
― clemenza, Friday, 6 May 2016 01:48 (seven years ago) link
Kershaw-Strasburg tomorrow night.

@washingnatsStephen Strasburg has been scratched from tonight's start vs.the Dodgers with an upper back strain. Yusmeiro Petit will start for the Nats.

just called kershaw "koufax", though he can be forgiven for that one

didn't realize we had thor-lester today, tho that was pretty one-sided
― k3vin k., Sunday, 3 July 2016 20:14 (seven years ago) link
seems like every ace has thrown up a stinker in the last week or so tho
Didn't realize Bumgarner and Tanaka were going at it right now.

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

always a race btwn me & clem to see who revives their marquee thread

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.

scherzer v arrieta, first matchup of previous two cy young winners since 2008
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 27 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
sure looks like Arrieta's days as an ace are numbered

Scherzer-Carlos Martinez.
― clemenza, Sunday, 2 July 2017 17:22 (six years ago) link
lots of good pitchers going today
― k3vin k., Sunday, 2 July 2017 18:00 (six years ago) link
including the are-they-still-good triumvirate of arrieta, verlander, and quintana
arrieta was good today
― na (NA), Sunday, 2 July 2017 19:38 (six years ago) link
yeah he looked solid, effective but not dominant
― k3vin k., Sunday, 2 July 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
verlander somewhat less so
― mookieproof, Sunday, 2 July 2017 20:03 (six years ago) link
scherzer has 5 strikeouts through 6, and this cardinals lineup is due for a complete embarrassing implosion so i'd expect several more
― Karl Malone, Monday, 3 July 2017 00:41 (six years ago) link
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 (six 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 (six years ago) link
Greinke-Bumgarner...who still looks marquee to me, abbreviated season and terrible team aside.
― clemenza, Saturday, 16 September 2017 14:00 (six years ago) link
Severino-Price? Price is having a pretty good year--probably not marquee-level anymore, though.
