Wow, a Youk BOMB! 4-3...amazing how similar this is to the Sale/Kershaw showdown

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:40 AM) 1-2 more runs, they definitely need to pull him, even if it's only the 2nd inning. Probably have him go 120 pitches I wouldn't mind stretching out Santiago in case you need an emergency start from him.

There's one strikeout for Flowers

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) A 15 day DL trip for a dead arm would be nice. The trade deadline is coming at the perfect time

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) Two starts in a row his velocity is down. Three, it was down in KC also. Thanks Ozzie and KW and Cooper for making him a reliever last year...ugh

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) Sale looks like he's going through a dead arm....really struggling. Velocity has been down a couple of MPH the last couple of times out. At least he was allowed to throw 96 mph in a worthless ASG inning!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:35 AM) Fastball has nothing Nope, probably a good move to skip his next start or two.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) Like I said. He looks horrible. Pull him, as he's clearly not 100%

Wow, what a terrible start. Flowers calling an awful game as well.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) That's exactly what the Ranger announcers are saying Cooper might want to go to the mound to make sure he's ok. It's pretty obvious he doesn't feel strong out there.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) Sale hitting that wall.... Hopefully it's fatigue and not any elbow issues.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:31 AM) We need a starter ASAP. Sale looks horrible No, we need Sale to pitch better. It's not like an acquired starter would take Sale's place anyways.

This doesn't even look like the same Chris Sale.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Isn't the gun in Texas notorious for taking 1-2mph off? mlb.com has similar readings

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) 5-2 Jays. 3-0 Twins over Indians. Gotta keep rooting for Indians to lose so we can hope they go 9-0 vs Tigers the rest of the way.

Texas tied it up already. Sale's fastball looks awful, in the 89-91 mph range.

Toronto takes 4- lead over Tigers

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:22 AM) Viciedo goes into swing at everything mode = fail He's a horrible match-up against Yu

Viciedo gets a meatball and misses it. 1-0, but missed the chance for a big inning.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:03 AM) Why do you care do much about what Chris carter does? There have been plenty of prospects that have come into the league guns blazing. Yep, there's a lot of things to question about what KW has done in the past, but the Quentin for Carter trade is a definite winner for KW.

Blue Jays lineup is just terrible right now with all these injuries. No Bautista, Arencibia, Lind or Escobar

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 11:45 PM) I;m guessing it went like this: Viciedo and.... Will Zack sign an extension? No. *hangs up* As well it should be, and I'm thankful he didn't want to sign an extension with the Sox. 5 yrs, 100 million at a minimum is too much for him.

Hellweg and Ariel Pena are the two pitchers involved. All three guys traded are better than anything the Sox have in the minors by some accounts.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) No suprise Sox just do not have the horses in minors to pull the deal off. So you're saying minor league relief prospects don't have value

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 11:32 PM) I wouldnt be surprised to see him nab another late inning reliever but it will cost at least Mitchell and one of the younger pens arms in return. And to me, that seems like overkill, especially given Ventura's long leash for the starters.
