Sale's not starting the ASG. Also, with the top teams in AL Central having huge weeks, they've put themselves in good position for the second AL Wild Card. You have to think the Angels will get one of those spot.

To clarify on the terrible loss comment, I thought it was a great effort by the entire team today. Unfortunately, it seemed they had to overcome a terrible strategy with Axelrod. Still thrilled with where things stand, and I hope everyone enjoys the break

Terrible loss

Feel free to get tossed Robin

I can't remember last time PK had an important hit

Dunn just has no plan at the plate. No reason to take first pitch fastballs down the plate

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) I'm surprised he did make the all star team, I don't think of him as an all star despite how many HR's he has and RBI's AJ and Peavy deserve it more than Dunn

Nice offspeed stuff by Hector

16-101, 55 K against LHP for Dunn

Ugh, Dunn and Konerko can't seem to shake their funk

Hopefully these rookies keep their heads up over the break, don't want to see this impact their psyche.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) 1-2 innings over 8-10 days? Yes. You could have had him pitch today and then go Sunday in KC. A nice week off for him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Yes...because this game is absolutely vital, there's no benefit to extra rest, and Tommy John surgery isn't a big deal. But allowing him to pitch in the ASG makes sense? I'm sure it's going to be great for his elbow when he goes in there throwing 100 mph.

Cleveland lost!

Bad umpiring might cost Tampa the game also

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Gotta save him for exhibition games Funny thing is he seemed annoyed that they wouldn't let him start in the ASG

You don't have much chance against the Blue Jays when your pitchers hang a majority of the offspeed pitches they throw. Goes to show you how great Peavy and Floyd were this weekend.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) It hit the field way foul but did it cross the bag? Not a chance at that angle

10 run in the 6th...good idea not to start the 2nd best pitcher in all of baseball this year

Wow, that's a terrible call to let Rasmus score. One of these days, Ventura will let Jones start the inning.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) This is the type of crap that happens to most rookies and veterans named Ohman.That's why I hope some guys come back from injury and/or KW gets a veteran for the bullpen. I think it's a given KW will acquire a veteran reliever. Probably someone from San Diego or Colorado

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) Send this bozo back down... I do want to know what radar gun they're using in the minors, as these guys are a good 3-4 mph slower than what they were reported to be throwing.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) It's Keystone Kops pitching day for us, who knew. Rookies

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Jesus septimo His command sucks

Just awful all around. Bad choice letting Omogrosso start this inning. Should have been Nate Jones.
