Really ppl are bashing Q in this gamethread? hahaha he has given up 1 freaking run so far & should have AT LEAST 2 to this point.

 

 

I guess the way to look at is that Detroit could have scored 4-5-6 runs.

 

We should have 2-3.

 

So, all things considered, we're still just a bloop and a blast away from taking the lead.

 

That said, someone actually has to step up to the moment. So far, Quintana's really the only one to respond, and he's a gassed rookie pitching on fumes.

At least Q has been decent so far. It could be a lot worse.

He gets past the 2nd and he finds a groove.

 

Wonder if that has somethig to do with them cutting back on his offday throwing routines.

A 23 year old putting up a ERA of 4 after never pitching above A ball and throwing 75 innings more than his career high isn't "legit"?

 

Legitt, as in, he was LEGITIMATELY as good as he was doing early in the season. That he wasn't due for a major regression soon, and he wasn't lucky as hell to have a sub-2 ERA as long as he did.

FWIW the Sox brass thought it was all mental with him, more than physical

How funny is this season though. This team has beat us 7 freaking times in a row this year & we STILL have a 2 game lead on them.

 

Lets just pretend we were all tigers fans...unfortunately...how freaking FRUSTRATING would it be to first of all be predicted to run away with the division, but then beat the only other team in the race 7 straight times & STILL trail by 2 games? haha

 

They have more post season potential than the Sox.

 

The Sox just can't hit Porcello.

RV is becoming more stubborn than Guillen. Why in hell he sticks with this lineup? PK hitting 4th is atrocious. Also, why don't you use a LH agst Porcello in place of Viciedo. DJ is there for what?

People who were penciling him in as the Sox #3 starter did not expect him to have a sub 2 ERA because that's best in MLB ACE kind of numbers.

 

In fact most comparisons I saw was, Mark Buehrle, middle of the order type pitcher that will give you 200 innings and can be lights out on occasion, when hitting his spots.

 

Gordo!

But your post implied that he couldn't be a #3 starter next year and that only fools were thinking he was legit enough to be one.

This has the looks of another easy 1-2-3 inning.

 

That means we'll lead off the bottom of the 6th with a runner on 2nd again, thanks to DeAza, if the trend continues.

Cmon you can not take credit for predicting that he would not have a sub-2 ERA for the entire season hahahahahaha

 

The top pitchers in the league dont even do that......Do you work with Ms Cleo by any chance?

Viciedo had hit Porcello well

Or not....

Every team in the hunt as the same post season potential IMO. Baseball playoffs are so unpredictable.

 

Hell the As could win it all for all we know.

 

 

Should I just type the 0/10 now? I don't think it can even count as a jinx.

Viciedo had hit Porcello well

 

the botton 3 hitters in our lineup are all RHs. you are asking to do nothing agst Porcello.

Gordon gets a hit out of nowhere.

You know, sometimes, you just have to get a little lucky.

0/10.

 

 

Another garbage pitch for an out.

 

 

CRAP.

 

0/10.

 

Ball not carrying very well tonight in the outfield.

Congratulations, you foresaw a rookie over his career high in innings getting tired.

 

Somehow I don't recall anyone saying he would have an era of 2 all season long...

0/10.

This is truly impressive

CRAP.

 

0/10.

Someone please remind our players that we are the ones up 2 games, not them.
