De Aza

Free game of the day on MLB.com http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/

A's stranding all sorts of runners tonight.

Tigers defense almost screw up again. But you're useless Chris Carter.

This umpire has an extremely small zone

Not even close on that cutter. Stick to the curve, Gavin!

Escobar with a career 482 average against the Sox coming into that AB.

Alex Gordon using Steve Austin's theme.

Wtf Gavin. You hack.

Gavin's stuff looks terrible so far.

Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Butler.

Can the Sox start Santiago instead of Floyd again? Pitch calling is disgusting so far.

That was quick.

My bad, thought first was open...oh, it was

It's funny, Dan Bernstein basically guaranteed this exact scenario today.

My bad, thought first was open...oh, it was

 

It was. Which is why pitching to him was so smart.

Please make this Floyd's last year in Chicago!

Too much pride to pitch around Billy Burger

Billy Butler, of course!

 

What a nightmare, that Royals' line-up is for our pitchers this year.

 

Hopefully Sale is an exception tmrw.

It was. Which is why pitching to him was so smart.

 

 

Except Perez is just as dangerous as Butler, at least against us.

 

It's an argument that has two very strong sides, but you don't want to give up a grand slam in the 1st.

 

 

Tigers' pen hopefully will get burned up today.

 

The problem, though, is that it SHOULD be well rested with Verlander going tmrw, and Sanchez also pitched well his last time out, carrying a no-hitter late into the game. That A's line-up doesn't test you, other than a slumping Reddick and Cespedes, it's 75% their pitching and 25% timely hits and homers.

Perez is so much more dangerous vs LHP. You can't let Butler beat us this series if a RHP is on the mound.

Rios should know by now the pattern the Royals pitchers will use against him.

I don't care!

 

2.2-0 for Downs

I'm stunned Eric Cooper's sucking as an umpire

I'd rather have Humber in there than Floyd.
