With the Twins terrible start, Cleveland missing Carrasco, Tigers pitching looking very vulnerable again, and KC's rotation starting to get smacked around, I'm starting to feel pretty good, hope it continues.

Astros now have the worst record in the AL despite the Twins starting 0-9.

That's 6 of the last 7 against the Jays, right? Let's make it 7 of 8.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) RV has little to nothing to do with it, much like every other manager. The historical pitching to start and the massively improved defense aren't some RV pixie dust it's just a better roster with better players in better spots. RV has already had his usual share of befuddling decisions but even at worst a bad manager tactics wise is worth -1 or -2 wins a year at most. Just curious which befuddling decisions you're referring to, I think he's been fine.

I love Putnam striking out the side in the 9th. He's got great stuff, everyone kind of forgot how good he was in 2014 after his struggles last year, though that was largely due to some bad luck on HR/FB%. I'm a big Putnam fan, though I like everyone in our pen, even Duke.

Putnam has nasty stuff. How often has there been 3 straight pinch hitters in a game?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 08:16 PM) Give Petricka the 9th. Sale struggling tonight giving up way too many hits. I agree about Petricka but too many hits? What? I'm a bit concerned about his lack of strikeouts this year though.

Two nice defensive plays by the Jays.

He crushed that

Offense really loves the 7th inning this year.

Navarro! Feels like the first non solo shot in weeks.

Good call to start Avi over Sands today.

Have held the Jays scoreless for 11 straight innings, impressive.

Nasty pitch.

Oh man he almost lost that ball, would have been at least 3 bases.

Jackson finally comes through with the bases loaded! Don't stop now boys!

Dumb baserunning but he's safe.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) Answer to sox math is 0 correct? Yep easiest one yet.

Sale doesn't look sharp today.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) Didn't Beric finally die when he gave Cat the kiss to resurrect her though? Maybe it will be similar with Mel & Jon Wasn't that because a lot of time had already passed since Cat's death, so a simple resurrection wouldn't have sufficed? I may be remembering wrong though.

Current Sox players batting .303/.358/.687 against Dickey. Rollins, Melky, Frazier, Jackson and Abreu have all teed off on him, Abreu has hit 3 HR in just 9 PA, overall this group has hit 9 HR in just 99 AB against Dickey. Source

The Twins called up Berrios.

According to Statcast, the average exit velocity off the bat last night against Gonzalez was 102 mph. He got hit really hard. For reference, the MLB average exit velocity is 90 mph.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Some of his reads and jumps are amazing. The triple play the other day was a great example. A mediocre RFer probably doesn't get to that ball without a good jump. Even on plays that don't result in outs. Saunders should have had an easy double and maybe triple on his line drive hit in the 7th, but Eaton got to it quickly and held him to a single.
