Yes! Nice job Duke.

Desmond just let a cookie go by.

1 more out then bring in Albers

I'll take it.

That was killed.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Toad is like Adam Dunn kinda but more like 3.5 outcomes. BB, K/IFFB, HR Again, he's not striking out that much, 18% isn't that high.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) Strikeout or home runs for Frazier. This time it was a homer!! Wooo! More like popup or home run, he has a below average strikeout rate this year.

Frazier!

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) 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. 2 more LOB for Zimmerman, it's getting comical at this point.

KK! Very nice comeback there.

Astros up 5 on the Indians and the Nationals have the bases loaded no outs down 1 against the Tigers. Yankees up 5-1 on the Royals

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Wow. I know people are saying BABIP luck, but Avi is just crushing baseballs right now. He was getting unlucky with BABIP the first few weeks, only right for him to be on the other side of it now.

Avi continuing to smoke the ball.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) 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. Feels a lot different from the Toronto start, when they were launching hard hit liners and flyballs all over the park.

Nice quick inning.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Sonny Gray is struggling we might be able to get him without giving up much at the trade deadline. Gray has always kind of had mediocre peripherals, it may be catching up to him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) About f***ing time. That dude just begs you to hit bombs every time he takes the mound. Throwing high and up at 88-89 MPH. And yet they were all solo HR, he got lucky and unlucky at the same time.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) They are destroying everyone in defensive fWAR Actually the Rangers are 1st by a good amount but the Cubs are 2nd.

Chris Young gave up 5 HR today? Holy s***...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) wtf was that Rollins? Getting sick of him. What was wrong with that play? It was quicker to flip it from the glove, and he got the runner just in time.

I'd put Hendricks in over Lackey, but otherwise looks good.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Prince Fielder alone is responsible for that. The Rangers have a much more dangerous lineup top-to-bottom than the Sox. Looking at it position by position I'd give the Rangers a slight edge, I think you're exaggerating with the "much-more dangerous".

Interesting observation, our offense actually has a higher wRC+ (98) than the Rangers' offense (94).

He does seem to be picking it up with the bat. Since April 22nd he's hitting .273/.355/.455.

I was hoping for the game to go 25 innings just so Harper and Zimmerman could continue to rack up the BB and LOB numbers.
