QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:40 PM) Ick The loss yesterday sure didn't help. It's been very nice these past few days. The team's playing well. I just don't understand.

That was a much-needed inning for Sale. At 100 pitches and Montero, Smoak, Ackley due up.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Orioles coming back to earth quickly...they can't get anyone out anymore That was going to be the issue eventually. They just don't have good pitching. Hammel might be their only legit starter.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Draft GMing 101 from Hawk...everybody listen up. How did Hawk get to be GM for a yer again...?

Come on Brent, we need insurance runs.

Escobar's been very good at the plate today.

Nice day for Flowers.

O-dawg's got warning track power. That looked like at least a double when it left the bat.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) Lol, I was at work and couldn't hear this line from Hawk...... http://deadspin.com/5915256/hawk-harrelson...ked-with-seamen That is why Hawk should stick around. As B&B would say, Hawk is fun bad.

Ryan, Suzuki, Figgins due up for the M's in the 8th. Do you let Sale go back out there? He's at 94 pitches. I'd really like some more runs...I'm not sure if Reed will be available.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Stiff back...he should probably get up and wonder around more when he's sitting the bench 19 of 20 games. He was already on the 15 day DL anyways, just not officially.

What a play by Gordo!

I hate it when our pitchers have to sprint to 1B to receive a throw. It's dangerous as s***. I still remember when Contreras tore his achilles doing that.

lol Joe Borchard. The sound from the contact was loud as hell for that home run.

That Thome HR 4 years ago was quite awesome.

Pryor's velocity is down after yesterday's outing. The 100 MPH must have been a result of adrenaline.

Oh boy, here comes Stephen Pryor. I fear his 100 MPH fastball.

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...?
