The best and healthiest versions of Noah Schultz's minor league work featured a lot of efficient, economical strike-throwing. In that vein, a 33-pitch first inning to open up his second start since returning from the injured list, four free passes (three walks, one very painful-looking sinker to Wilyer Abreu's elbow), and 92 pitches to allow four runs over five frames in a loss to the 26th-best scoring offense in MLB was a disappointment.

Heading to that contest, the former National League Most Valuable Player went just 3-for-30. He turned things around [...]
The most frustrating thing about tonight’s 6-5 extra-innings loss: it was a winnable game, if just a few things had gone differently. But the mistakes compounded for the Mariners, ultimately delivering a loss to open up the Florida leg of their road trip – always a tough road trip for the Mariners, who haven’t won […]
So, it turns out the Cubs are no slouches after all. And though it’s their offense that’s supposed to be a team strength, today the Most Cub-Like Player had to have been the starter, Matthew Boyd.
