It was a nice run for Putnam.

.352 If his brother can hit like this, somebody is going to get a good hitter in 10 days.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) We say that every season, but then someone like Cleveland reels off an unbelievable stretch at the end of the year. That could happen, but just looking at the injuries and the parity around the league, this season really looks like that second wild card number will be low. If the Astros are the only terrible team in the league, that gives the Angels or A's an advantage to win the 1st wild card spot. After that, there will be 9-11 teams beating each other up. That's why the 20 interleague games are so important. If an AL team goes 7-13 in interleague, it can blow a season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) Glad you finally came to that realization. I've always known that, but teams have to get their wins from teams they're supposed to. It's a rarity to get to the final 30 games of the season and go 21-9 to get in. Basically I look at the season in six 27-game sections. Go 15-12 every 27, you win 90. Anything under, you've got a deficit you have to make up. It just happens this season is looking like 86-88 wins will get a wildcard.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 26, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Let's start another winning streak, only 6 games back in division and 2.5 back in wildcard. Sox aren't winning 95 games, and the Tigers will. Every other team is chasing 88 wins, and it possibly will go lower than that. For now, 88-74 gets an extra game. Games back and all of that...irrelevant until there's 10 games left in the season. Record with or without homeruns stat for the Sox: No homers: 5-18 Exactly 1 hr: 7-6 2 or more hr: 13-3 Same as it ever was.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 25, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) Yesterday's game is going to cause a bad stretch of games coming up.. I'd just like to see them win the next two. Get to 27-27 at the 1/3 mark.

Sanchez at .287--he turns 22 in a month. Big Leaguer.

And for the last time... Should have won yesterday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) Make that 2 errors and 21 for the season already on Anderson. Gulp. CF might not be far away. Seriously, I know Jeter made a s***load of errors in the minors, but enough is enough with Anderson. He was a suspect at SS to begin with. Pull the plug and put him in the outfield. It may actually help his offense too. Less to worry about.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 25, 2014 -> 03:36 PM) What started it? Yunel Escobar stole 3rd. You could read AJ's lips-- "Up 5 in the 7th?" Escobar challeged the Boston dugout, Gomes came in from LF, and it was your run of the mill baseball "fight". Escobar was a b**** about it.

50 pitches.

Here comes a DP.

Hunter Harvey facing Kannapolis. Future big leaguer.

No-hitter alert? Start it now?

Homer for Carlos Sanchez. Who had May 25th in the pool?

They really need to go 5-1 next week to make up for that loss yesterday. Today was going to be a loss.

https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/470595759378038785 I'd just be happy if that opportunity presented itself today.

Kipnis returns Tuesday.
