QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:52 PM) Alvarez has 21 SO in 72 IP? He's skating by on luck. Oh wow, I didn't know he had such a low K rate. His FIP is 5.4. So yeah...he is skating by on luck. That K rate has to be lower than Lowe's. (see what I did there?)

71 pitches through 5 for Sale, still paced to throw 7.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) Yeah, we're not getting any breaks in pitching match-ups the next month or so. The Astros' pitching sucks though.

Man, this upcoming Toronto series will be rough. Their 3 best pitchers (Romero, Morrow, Alvarez) are going.

Looks like Michael Saunders got pissed off after he got hit by Paulie's line drive.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) gross. The count is even, sacks packed with seamen.

Millwood's been very lucky today. Sox could have easily scored 2 more runs in that inning had he not deflected those grounders.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) It's hard for me to hate Rios anymore. He's having a good season. Maybe he was just a bad ballplayer when he was a centerfielder and can relax more in right or something. How can you forget that Rios was a near all-star in 2010 while playing CF...?

Rios is taking it back up the middle again. Good to see.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) Speaking of the draft, remember last year when everyone laughed at the Cubs for taking Hayden Simpson in the first RD, a guy that wasn't even considered a top 250 prospect? Well, we were all right. In 114 pro innings since being drafted, he has a 6.59 ERA, 151 H, 67 BB, and 71 K to go along with a 1.90 WHIP. LOL. Absolutely terrible. Despite being awful, they have progressed him from RK to Low-A, and now High-A. In High-A, he has MORE THAN TWICE as many walks (29) as he does strikeouts (14) in 35 innings. His WHIP is 2.18. Good lord, he might be the worst 1st RD pick I have ever heard of so far. Wow, that is just epic fail.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) Gordon's mom is in great shape; wonder what her face looks like w/out the big sunglasses Becks on fire. lol

Come on Dayan, hurt Millwood.

We need to stop striking out with men on the corners.

Escobar is actually hitting, which is odd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) They played a great clip of him on the radio earlier in the week in which he said it's just impossible to say someone is "the best ever" in baseball. They then played numerous clips in which he did just that. I heard that, it was who you crappin'. I was laughing out loud in the car because it was so true. Apparently, Stone doesn't think Olerud was a great fielder either.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Um no Hawk, PK was not as good defensively as Olerud was. Hawk is just....BLAH.

Only 57 pitches through 4 for Sale. Very good. Maybe he can go 7 today if we're lucky.

Adam Dunn = bad 1B.

Epic fail by the offense for not scoring more that inning.

Oh s***, Pryor is warming up in the bullpen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Can Quintana play outfield if we run out of fielders today? There's always De Aza.

That ball didn't hit the bat. I was talking about Viciedo's HBP. Looks like my feed is WAY behind.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) You guys hear the trivia question? Who's the only Mariner 1B with a gold glove? My money is on Olerud (sp)....thoughts?? Yeah that was a easy one. He won it twice in 94 and 95 I think.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) Ah s***, Viciedo just drilled in the right hand. Kevin Millwood blows!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 02:10 PM) Yeah, but that was on an error, not just a straight 2-run sac fly. Well of course. I can't imagine a 2-run sac fly without an error.
