You know what's cool?  Coming into a game with an era over 5 and then raising it against the worst hitting team in the AL.

His ERA had dropped from 6.12 to 6.01 at the time of this post

This was literally Lucas Giolito last year

Well maybe Lopez can become the 2nd pitcher in history to lead the league in ERA then become an AS.  Whose to bet against it?

• Well now we know why he's batting sixth.  Gotta get up pretty early in the morning to keep up with Ricky.

What's that old saying: "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" ?

He's given up 3 ER in 5 IP. That's a 5.40 ERA. What was his ERA coming in?

Reylo got dinked and dunked to death and I guess we‘re even now.

 

Ball don‘t lie ?

Eloy is looking comfortable. We just need a HR today. 

Holy christ is this ballpark playing small. That was hit 92mph (not hard) and 39 degrees (very high) and would have been out if not for a nice play by Eloy

Jimenez...how do you like them apples?  Seems every time Lopez goes 3-2 the ball gets hit hard.

Seeing as if how it doesn't happen often at all I'd certainly bet against it

I wish ReyLo well but he cannot be counted on as a starter on a contender. 

I have no clue what Cooper's role is beyond Reinsdorf's snitch but the only improvement has been Gio and he sought help outside.

Cooper just does not relate to these guys.

That wasn't hit hard

Lopez needs to man up and get us to .500 today.  I’ve been one of his biggest advocates on this board, but he’s been a total disaster this season and it’s finally put up or shut-up time if he wants any chance of claiming a rotation spot next year.  The clock is officially ticking.

Does it sound like I’m defending him?  That post is from this very thread.  I was just pointing out that the people who were overreacting to every single hit Lopez gave are the same ones who typically overreact to everything.  I wasn’t referring to you if that’s what you think.

Yeah...right.

.030 expected batting average and needed a robbery to keep it from going out

Also, not sure how you think he raised his ERA but that’s besides the point.

Up against the fence is hard enough for me.  Happy?
