56 k's for Frazier now. Offense still befuddled.

Rodon with yet another sky-high pitch count early in this one. What new? He pitched well his first three starts of the year, but this 10 game run has been pretty terrible and well into the low 5's for an ERA. Basically, what we expected to get from John Danks minus the K's.

Perez broke 2 bats there, maybe 3 on that hit. Tony Gwynn went for an entire season without breaking a bat. Perez hitting over .390 now in his career at USCF.

Rodon just with terrible body language. Frankly, doesn't seem comfortable out there, if you compare it to the way he looked pitching for NC State a couple of years ago. Meanwhile, Michael Fulmer has a 2.66 ERA with the Tigers. More issues for KC on the basepaths. 3 runners reversed or things would look far worse.

Can't wait for the offseason conversation killer...well, we can't add salary because of James Shields now. Fortunately, the Indians rallied from 3-0 down against Huston Street but lost in the bottom of the 9th to the Angels or we'd be 4 1/2 games out. Another 93 MPH fastball on the first pitch for a hit. They've got to start varying his pitch patterns. Morneau might just want to retire, lol. Avila 1/13 throwing out runners entering today, now 3/15 for 20%.

That was the most woeful and negligible offensively productive inning all season long. Steverson...nobody even cares about him anymore, or his "philosophies."

Lawrie's OPS is down to 717 now. Not bad, but we got fooled into thinking near All-Star year there for awhile. He's just really streaky and strikes out a ton. Not dissimilar from Frazier. And he's clearly our 5th best hitter. Avila takes more pitches for strikes than anyone in baseball.

Yeah, Colon being too aggressive. He's far from a burner...that was too much aggressiveness. At least Orlando has something of a history of success stealing at the major league level.

Hey, at least no walks!!! Two caught steals by Avila...probably saved another two runs.

Might have to add a 3 starter, too. No rhythm or tempo, everything's going wrong. Zero confidence right now.

Have to get to Ventura early. 24 ER's in 36 IP, 6 ERA over the first three innings of each start. And Frazier/Eaton continue their slumps.

.162 his last 18 games for Eaton. He's really fallen off. First in the AL in infield hits, at least. 95 and 98 for Ventura there...usually he doesn't throw that hard until later in the game. 96 and 97 to Abreu.

The base hits he gave up were at 91 and 94 MPH. Eventually, he'll learn he can't pitch more effectively in the lower 90's. 9 runs surrendered in 11 first innings now.

Of course. Like clockwork.

.341 opposing line-ups the first time through the order 1-9 hitting against Rodon. The craziest one, .464 hitting against his first pitch...mostly fastballs at lower velocities.

Online records show he was a registered Democrat. Law enforcement officials told ABC News that Mateen had been “on the radar” of U.S. authorities for a while, but that he was not the target of an investigation.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Apparently this guy called 911 before doing this and pledged allegiance to ISIS Source? Wouldn't he be more likely to pledge allegiance to the Taliban? ISIS doesn't specifically target gay "westerners" that I know of as a concerted strategy...at least not in Paris.

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart! Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 28m Here's the problem, this isn't about radical Islamic terrorism, it's a hate crime. But the two will certainly be confused.

Avila needs to stop letting so many good pitches go by...be a BIT more aggressive, like in his glory days of 2011-12 when he was an All-Star caliber catcher.

Plus Trump will be able to blame US policy towards Afghanistan under Obama...unsurprisingly overlooking all the great work of the Bush administration since 9/11, hunt for Osama bin Laden, Karzai, etc.

The need for blood after a shooting at a gay nightclub resurfaced complaints on social media about limits on gay men’s ability to donate blood. In December, the Food and Drug Administration lifted a lifetime ban for gay men, but continued to prohibit men from donating if they had had sex with men in the past year. Follow Mo: Space Chicken @Moreh_SC To the gay men who can't donate blood for our fallen brothers, just being there for each other is helping. Stick together. #PrayForOrlando 10:54 PM - 12 Jun 2016 35 35 Retweets 13 13 likes Follow John Barcus @johnrtworld It’s legal to buy an AR-15 assault rifle. It’s illegal for a gay man to donate blood to victims of the massacre. The world makes no sense. nytimes.com

Poor Coats...in some ways, it feels like he's not going to get much of a chance to prove himself. 15-20 at-bats, the way things are going.

It's also apparently gay pride month... So this was more an anti-gay attack, although the motivation probably has to tie in with the Sharia law/religious aspects as well. Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago Really bad shooting in Orlando. Police investigating possible terrorism. Many people dead and wounded. That's what he has up right now...posted 2-3 hours ago.

I'm pretty sure, from a little internet detective work, that PULSE in Orlando is a gay nightclub (like the one Dave Wilder used to run in Phoenix). Customers seem to be mostly African-American. That's going to throw a whole different slant on this thing. Every political side will use it for their own purposes, obviously. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/...-club/85785762/ One of the owners of the gay nightclub where multiple people were shot early Sunday in Orlando started the club to promote awareness about the area's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Her brother died from AIDS. Barbara Poma opened Pulse on Orange Avenue in Orlando with her friend and co-founder Ron Legler in 2004. It hosts nightly themed performances as well as a monthly program of LGBT-related educational events. Pulse refers to itself as "not just another gay club." Saturday night was Latin night.
