88-92 for Peavy so far in 1st.

Sweet, an early lead

There was almost a catfight in the stands for that bat...

wgn on the u blows

heh spoke too soon...the next handful of pitches were nasty

That's encouraging. Got a strikeout with the slider. But we've seen Jake start out some recent games well for an inning or two and then give up a big crooked number.

 

DET-OAK tied 1-1 in the 5th. Pitcher's duel with Moscaso and Porcello.

 

 

Morel OPS now at 550, yikes.

Reminiscent of Mark Johnson and Royce Clayton at the bottom of the line-up there.

 

Heck, Royce Clayton's a real slugger compared to Morel, at least the one we've seen so far this year.

juan hauls ass on every play

 

This Duffy kid has good stuff.

Matsui with 2 run RBI single, 3-1 A's.

 

Wish the A's would have blown this game open early, but Moscaso's got a miniscule 2.16 ERA coming into the game.

 

 

Rare Konerko error there on a pretty simple play. Base hit? What???????

glove, paulie

Why is NOBODY covering 2B?

 

Peavy with pitch grooved right down the middle.

 

C'mon, there's just no way you can give Hosmer the single there, that's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

 

 

 

That damned TREANOR is killing us this year.

Farmer absolutely hates Buck Showalter.

 

Ripping on him for calling MLB offices trying to get an error changed to a hit for Adam Jones.

 

"I'm just trying to get this guy to be a major league baseball player." That's not the job of the official scorer, to boost Hosmer's ROY chances.

 

 

 

There's just no way that should be an earned run for Peavy.

Finally somebody hits that straight, hard fastball. Rios with double.

So far I actually am liking this Duffy kid. 95 mph fastball that isn't straight, willing to pitch inside, controls not perfect yet but for a kid? Some legit stuff here.

I don't think Lilly with the long swing will catch up with this guy's fastball.

Here comes the heater on 1-2.

Curve ball. Whiff.

Frodo strikes out

Lillibridge and Morel are not going to scare anyone these days.

 

Elijah Wood's twin is as cold now as he was hot the first 6 weeks.

 

 

And DET puts up 7 runs against a guy entering with a 2.16 ERA. God, it's scary to think what KW will do if they make a big move near the deadline.

Royals announcers noting how many balls the sox are fouling off. They're timid the pitches but the late movement means they're not squaring it up.

I still want to see what Lilli could do with 550 at bats. When you play once a week it's hard to get out of a funk.

 

Peavy looks like a very mediocre pitcher out there.

Bad throw by Beckham...threw it right into the runner who was going on the pitch.

 

Thrown too hard.

 

Everything's going against us in this game. Rare Konerko error, had the K against Cabrera almost, now the Beckham error...
