Frazier got a hanger!

Frazier has no plan up there right now.

Diaz didn't give that pitch to Gonzalez.

Wow Jimmy. 3-0 count and ends up popping up.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) I'm only following on GameDay- is Gonzalez looking like a viable fifth starter or is he getting lucky? Viable. Great location tonight with decent velocity.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Only 57 pitches. Crazy. Meanwhile in Tigerland, Harper was IBB again to get to Zim, who promptly popped out. For a great team, they're a mess. Dusty Baker's lineups are ruining that team. He should probably start hitting someone who can hit behind Harper. It doesn't take a genius to think of that.

Gonzalez with a couple of good sliders to retire the side.

That was strike 3. Come on Diaz.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) That was some kind of awful at bat He was trying to crank every pitch 400 feet.

Two straight walks.

Why pitch around Mitch Moreland when you've been retiring everyone in sight?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Sox are better off asking the Rays about Odorizzi or even the Padres about Pomeranz (risky risky, NL + PETCO) than going after Gray. Too many red flags. Gray reminds me a lot of Rich Harden. Look how that turned out.

Way to not run that out hard Adam.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) They're gona start pitching Avi different on the first pitch soon I'd guess because he's crushing everything. Keep an eye on that Maybe that's his new approach...see first ball hit first ball hard.

AJax needs to hit to RF more. I've only seen good things from him when he waits on the breaking pitch.

Odor with a nice throw.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Feels a lot different from the Toronto start, when they were launching hard hit liners and flyballs all over the park. Quality of the lineup is also vastly different. The Rangers have good depth and a lot of good hitters, but Toronto's middle of the lineup is like facing a damn all-star team.

Holy s*** Avi is so locked in right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) Soler isn't playing much and Baez is sensational defensively. It's hard to hate on the Cubs right now cause they can do no wrong. There's not a ton of weak spots on that team. They might present themselves over the course of the season, but not right now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) 4 innings down, 2 more to go At this rate, he can go 5 more.

4 scoreless innings and around 40 pitches. Is this real life?

Gonzalez is inducing a lot of weak contact. Outside of Beltre's weird hit and Wilson's line drive, nobody's hit the ball that hard off him.

I think Diaz's strike zone is really helping out both pitchers right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Doesn't he also fade at the end of seasons? Yup. He's always great in the first half and then mediocre to bad in the second half.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) Some bad at bats against Lewis What new? We can't hit the guy. Our best bet is to raise his pitch count and get into the bullpen.
