Awful Ab.

I'll take the glass half full here and say well at least they are getting early leads.

then a hanger right down broadway. Fedde might be pitching for his spot in the rotation.

I guess Pete is one of the few guys that can beat you but still, those were not competitive pitches.

lol, what a dumb challenge. Orioles are a stupid team, they remind me of us the prior three years.

Awful baserunning by Henderson.

well that's just like ur opinion, man.

There's nothing worse than a slow strike calling ump.

Damn he just missed that one. Lucky.

had him struck out then that happens. I get not challenging but damn.

Colson, come on man. Someone has gotta try and show him some of these ABs, especially early in games.

Man don't see that very often, super rare poor AB from Vargas.

Sure is refreshing seeing even a 680 OPS out of Gonzo, holding his own, giving us some value here and there. I'm used to just seeing guys come up and completely fail.

This starter for the Os has been awful lately. ERA around 7 his last few turns. Nice to finally be avoiding the TOR guys and hopefully can feast on him tonight. Not having Sam and Mune is a blow but hopefully Gonzo and others can continue to step up.

Prolly just banged up as @soxrwhite said. Gotta protect him from himself a bit. edit: apparently he went into the tunnel after the slide. Hopefully just a rest day.

Kelenic was waived. He hit 125 with 5 K in 10 PA for Texas. Might be time to learn Japanese. I have regrets in life but he was offered a 60 million dollar extension that he turned down before he fizzled. That has to eat him inside, man.

Interesting lineup. They seem to like Perez quite a bit as a waiver find. He's been OK I guess, nice to get Sam off his feet for a game.

We're one injury to teel to being down to lee and romo as the catchers. that's a downside risk we don't need. as bad as quero is, imagine lee hitting 150/180/250 over 30 games with Romo the starter.

I'd keep Quero. You never know with a young talented catcher how long it might take for the light to go on, especially after a big swing change and body transformation in his early 20s. We gave up on Flowers too early, hate to see the same with Quero and he goes on to put up 12 WAR somewhere else.

Tribe have been playing alright and the Twins are playing decent and the Sox are playing alright and the Tigers are playing alright. @CaliSoxFanViaSWside had a good post last night basically entire central other than Royals been .500 last two weeks. It would be nice to open up a little gap before the weekend, agreed.

Wasn't he one of the first guys that could pump 100 fairly regularly? That's what I remember of that era.

I'm oddly optimistic on Hicks. Sometimes it takes some lowered expectations and the right role for a bullpen guy to thrive. We'll see how it shakes out. Sounds crazy but it's 50/50 if I'd prefer Hicks or Seranthony in a close 7th inning assuming Taylor and Newcomb are not available or being saved for the 8th and 9th.

season high water of mark of 6 over .500 in reach tonight. Be nice to take this series and then try and win 2 of the remaining 4 for a positive trip.

A rare trade but one that might make sense especially if Roch is the guy.
