Damn.

Their bullpen was already gassed from the first 2 games, and now their first reliever has already thrown 21 pitches. It's the 3rd inning.

What's the most runs we've ever scored with Quintana on the mound?

Saladino looks like he has great plate discipline. Refreshing to see.

It's amazing the difference in Sanchez's offense when he first came up and over the last month. Kid is on fire! It'd be so nice if he could keep hitting enough to stick at 2B going forward.

Q must think he's dreaming right now with all this run support!

Ouch

Melky is determined to be the next hitter to hit .400, and he's going to do it this season.

Eaton is closing in fast on last season's OPS (.753 right now, .763 last season). Who would have thought that after his absolutely horrific April?

This is so much more fun than the first few months of the year.

f*** yeah offense! Eaton!

Porcello throwing meatballs up there. We better score 5+

Sanchez Eaton and Melky are all on fire right now. Abreu too.

Porcello has actually been decent over his last three starts, hope we can get to him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I think that is one of the greatest things about it. It puts a lot more value in winning your division. Completely agree, I love the second wildcard largely for this reason.

Anderson should be ready by 2017, hopefully.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) 4 years of kemp's decline? No thanks. +1

If you're going to put LaRoche back in the lineup, please don't put him back-to-back with Avi. That has been killing us.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) I'd keep Anderson if at all possible. I think he's going be a very good player. Maybe get them to take Micah instead. Not happening if you want Longoria.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) So are we happy that Verlander's actually starting to pitch as well as he has in the last two years? That start might have been enough to give them confidence that Verlander and Price can hold them in it...it's three consecutive pretty good starts, the velocity's a lot better, the curveball wasn't as strong but that's always a feel pitch and will return eventually as long as he's got the crispness on his hard stuff. Their other three starters are still hot garbage though, I'd be very happy if Detroit doesn't sell, I'm not worried about them at all and I'd rather they didn't get good young players for Soria/Price/Cespedes.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) I can't believe they're going to start paying Porcello 15+ mil a year starting next year lolol Worse, it's actually 20+ million

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) Quintana Anderson Montas and something else for Longo and pitching prospect. Boom Profit! In the Fangraphs trade value column they had Quintana at #41 and Longoria just outside the top 50. The price you're paying is steep.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) Rodon? Not sure if Fulmer + Anderson + Montas does it. Yeah I would guess Rodon or Quintana.

8-3 Pirates! Holy s***!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) These next two games will decide the fate of the season, good thing we have our two best starters going in them. Wade Miley was actually the Red Sox's best healthy starter...it's no wonder why they've been awful, all their starting pitchers have ERAs north of 5. So happy we don't have to face Buchholz.
