Lopez cruising

Making it look easy

I hate that my brain is going here, but the incident today is going to make it awfully tough for the As to keep the Yankees out

What, are they listening to a police scanner in the booth? WTF is that.

Is there something he or we are crediting to his turnaround since being up here? Some sort of adjustment?

You know how well he's doing when Stone is singing his praises.

That might have happened anyways.

Lopez going back to Charlotte once Rodon comes back, yes?

Thank God! man was that scary. Wishing him the best

Not to downplay the excitement, but he seemed conscious & aware when he exited the field.  Let’s just hope there is no permanent damage to his vision or hearing.

If he keeps this up I’d imagine he sticks around as a spot starter / long man.

I don't know, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here

Wright, right? Right?

Who is this Reynaldo Lopez and where’s the real one?

If he keeps this up there is no way he is going down.

Shortened arm path is something Katz had him working on since Spring Training. Fegan has written about it quite a bit. Lopez said it took him a few months to get used to his new mechanics, initially his old velocity wasn't there, but now it is (obviously) and he feels great.

lopez for cy young

F Off, Murphy

Love seeing the emotion out of him after that tough out.

Thank you - and that’s awesome to hear 

Wouldnt mind Lopez being the 5th starter with some of our starters getting long rest. Have him spot start here and there. I would guess all our guys are tired somewhat.

This Lopez is fascinating. Wonder if he's out there for the 6th with the big lead. No need to get too far ahead of ourselves but what if he can sustain this ? It opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Red Sox are choking too so Yankees were probably good anyway.

Lynn's CY odds probably got a bit better though.
