Holy smokes what has gotten into Marco Estrada?  First he flirted with a no hitter against the Orioles last week, then yesterday he went 8.2 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 0 BBs, 10 Ks like a primo stud against the Rays as he lost a perfect game with one out in the 8th.  Well, the last time he had double digit Ks was 2012 and I don't believe A) he'll go deep enough into games to rack up the K numbers B) he has the elite ability to make it consistent, soooo I hope you enjoyed them while they lasted.  I'm not going to endorse Estrada as he's been consistently poor for a good while now, pitches in the AL Beast, and has an xFIP of 4.21, but I wouldn't blame you if you went all POLO! next time vs. Boston.  I wouldn't, but you do you man.
