33-48 on the road this year. 9-10 vs the Indians, Twins, and Tigers

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:20 PM) Carlos Quentin rushed Greinke pretty quick last year Good call. It's so rare now.

Guerra in. Sale finishes at 2.17 in 174 innings. 208 K's. Taking away his rain-shortened 3 inning start, He was just a tick under 7 innings per start in his other 25. Hopefully next year is 33 starts x 7.33, and he wins 25 for a good team.

When is the last time a player got hit and immediately ran to the pitcher to fight? Never happens anymore.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Two "easy as pie" innings now for Sale. ERA down to 2.17. If he could end the game in the 2.00-2.09 range, that would give him a bit of a stronger case for the Cy, although probably the only way he was going to win was ending up below 2.00 because of the 7-8 missing starts compared to the other contenders. Scherzer and Lester will get consideration as well. Felix-Kluber, Kluber-Felix. Every Cy ballot should start with these two.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) Sox win 6-3, you heard it here first I think the Sox will win too. Spoiling the Tigers is all good. Rooting for the last 5 games to go this way: Win, Loss, Loss, Win, Loss

It's supposed to rain all day in NY tomorrow. Perfect.

Tigers 87-70 Royals 86-71 A's down 1-0, 3rd. If the A's lose, they're tied with KC. If the WC is a tie with the A's, they would host the Tigers, and travel to KC. I'm definitely rooting for the Royals to win the division and the Tigers to lose in Oakland.

If you told me before the season that Scott Carroll would get 126 major league innings this season, I would have thought the Sox lost 100. He did pretty well this season.

Tough call for Ausmus. Didn't work out. Fun inning.

Olbermann right again.

Reds and Marlins win. The 10th or 11th pick next year looks probable.

If the Sox lose, the season series will be 9-9. They were also 9-9 against the Twins and Indians, and lost the 19th game to both. 5-10 against the Royals. I don't think 9-10 is in the cards for all four.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) Did we announce a pitcher yet for Thursday Post #3

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) Felix's ERA now at 2.34... Sale leads AL at 2.20 Wow, Felix got torched in a must win game. Probably not a unanimous Cy, but he and Kluber are the clear 1-2. Sale will get most of the 3rd place votes, I would think.

Here's what's left: Price-Carroll Verlander-Sale Shields- Quintana Guthrie- Noesi Duffy- Danks Ventura- Bassitt

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 05:35 AM) Rob Bironas killed in car crash. Awful. Was an underrated kicker. Big foot. Just awful. I don't know if this is old news, but there's a 911 call that the people are saying Bironas passed their car in anger and then went on to run off the road and hit the trees. Not worth it. http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/09/22/rob-biron...accident-titans

CJ Wilson can't throw a strike. Walked in two A's so far.

Royals win. Mariners lose, on life support. A's down 1-0, 1st AL Central- Tigers 86-70 Royals 85-71 I'd laugh if the AL Wildcard Game is A's-Tigers, and the Tigers lost.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) The Pirates are on fire and it seems like they can't gain a shred of ground. Cardinals have two more at the Cubs, and 3 at Arizona. Probably not going to lose this. I just hope the Pirates host the play-in game. They're a lot tougher at home. Plus I don't want the Giants to have another even-year championship out of nowhere. Honestly, unless the WS is Pirates-Royals, I hope the CS is Orioles-Angels and Nats-Dodgers. Good matchups, and Trout and Harper on the biggest stage would be good for baseball.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 12:52 PM) The Greg Walker effect. Shut out again tonight.

Great job by Bassitt. If the Sox spoil anyone, I hope it's the Tigers.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) Assuming they don't blow the 10th inning lead, Cleveland is at 82-74, only 2.5 back of KC. A 3-game sweep and they will pass them. Yeah, you never know. The Indians have 3 more at home after that against the Rays. Run the table for 88-74, and they're probably still playing.
