The Morning Edition (May 2, 2013)

From Last Night:

  • Zimmermann strikes out 8 and walks none across eight shutout innings as the Nats beat the Braves 2-0
  • Red Sox bats rock the Jays as Buchholz dominates again
  • Raburn has 4 more hits to power Bauer to his first win despite 6 walks in 5 innings against Cliff Lee
  • Feldman K’s 12 in a CG win over the Padres

What I’m Watching Today:

  • Ervin Santana looks to keep his early season success going against the Rays (2p Eastern)
  • Haren tries to stay on track as Medlen tries to bounce back in Atlanta (7p Eastern)
  • Jake Westbrook’s 0.98 ERA on display against the Brewers (8p Eastern)

The Big Question:

  • How series is Bryce Harper’s injury?

Ryan Raburn was always fun to watch in my opinion, even though most Tigers fans didn’t feel that way. He’s up to his old tricks in Cleveland destroying the baseball over the last three days (11 for 13, 4HR). This is his updated line: .364/.407/.655 with a 193 wRC+ and a positive 1.9 UZR which is good for 1.0 WAR in just 16 games. Obviously he won’t keep that up, but Ryan Raburn is basically Babe Ruth so far this season. He’s capable of amazing things and from 2009-2011 was incredible in the 2nd half of the season. He’s doing it early this year. Watch out.
