Way to respond, Melky. Hanging slider. Nate Jones will try to close it out? Renteria's swarming up Ynoa. Uh, oh. Jones isn't available, right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) Not able to watch...all the damage on fastball? The Martinez homer was a hanging curve. If anyone gets on, they need to run on Hicks. Wilson in.

Who's going to catch for the Tigers? What the hell was Iglesias doing?

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. The only question is whether it's a complete implosion.

The shadows of Garcia and Liriano loom over Mr. May. Moncada and W. Garcia keep their top of the 1st fireworks from yesterday. 27 k's/75 AB for Yoan. 9 walks. Holmberg is starting first game of DH, assuming Lopez for Game 2?

The Anti-Miguel Cleto?

Wow. Dominating. Robertson gets Martinez and Upton to start the bottom of the 9th. Seems back to back outings his fastball was 96-97 so he went to more 89-90 mph changes and sliders. Politte in 2005 form.

The MRI results should be more definitive...hard to believe it's just a strain after watching it all play out.

Robertson and Jones are the most expendable, and have the most value. Jennings would be third, but they don't have a replacement for him. You deal those two at peak value, you still have Burdi, Fulmer and a Lopez to plug into holes in August and September, not to mention Kopech. Likely it won't be necessary, but that could be the fallback plan that won't require a single trade.

The worst case is Jared Mitchell. The best case is he loses a step, but his game has never been predicated on stolen bases. That said, some hesitation in the outfield and worry in the back of his head about another injury are going to be hard for him to get over. It's just as much psychological as physical.

His style of play was always going to be a high risk factor...even if Giolito is a complete bust (and way too early to declare that), Lopez and Dunning could both be pretty special. "It's just awful," right-hander Max Scherzer said. "Especially when you see the replay, he comes up short of the bag and you see his ankle roll over, his whole leg kind of falls apart. Seeing him in the training room, it's an awful feeling. "You hate seeing your teammates injured severely. And I think that's what happened." www.mlb.com Getting an MRI Saturday...Michael Taylor will have to play center, but he won't hit enough to nail down the position.

We had the same situation with the pen early last year. And all the games without hardly a day off was blamed (by Harrelson) for burning out Albers and Robertson, to name two. But right now, we've got five solid guys in Jennings, Swarzak, Kahnle, Jones and Robertson. Beck and Ynoa aren't a big deal at all, and you always could use Burdi, Fulmer or Lopez down there at some point in the second half. At any rate, we have a long stretch of road games, so the record will likely fall back to sub .500 a month from now, so we might as well enjoy this while it lasts.

Kahnle pitching at same exact time as Kimbrel vs. Cubs. 99-100, Kimbrel at 98-99. The main difference is the knuckle curve.

.388 for Garcia. Last two haven't gone far...

First place baby. The only problem will be that Greg will go from trading Robertson to dealing for a playoff run.

Yackatow... Anderson hit another bomb earlier in the season that the wind killed...don't want to throw him a fastball at 2-0, even at 96.

Huge hit there but Soto after the inning looked lost with the Davidson dp ball. Castellanos might want to hide after the game. Bullpen takes on a much different look with Swarzak and Kahnle dominating.

Complaint about umpiring? DJ really hates Laz Diaz...Farmer, a fan.

No way they play in Columbus. Collins a homer but 23 k's in 61 ab's. At least he walks. Basabe two hits already. Tanner Banks doing well.

Bears should have taken Desmond King...

Avi just 6 behind Harper and Daniel Murphy, 19 RBI's.

Bad luck, wasted opportunity to break the game wide open. Of course, you could say that about both teams.
