Yeah, that didn't seem like Matt's ball

That fastball from Matt was at 93? Hmm....

Good ole Matt making the game close

The D has been seriously suspect so far

Matt let your 3b catch that ball.

No walks please

What is Thornton doing? He knows better than that, that it was not his pop up to catch.

Great job Matt

I don't understand how teams justify paying that kind of money to one player. No one player is worth being paid 1/3 of the payroll of some entire franchises. I guess if the team has insurance it's OK in some cases. Look at Pujols. One year after signing ... is he worth it?

That shouldn't be 1/4 of a team's total salary, that's the key. With Pujols, he's not 1/4 of a team's total salary. King Felix at $25 million would be 1/3 of the team's payroll this year but they also have room to grow that...and perhaps more importantly, they also, like every team in MLB, will have an extra $25 million+ in revenue next year from a national TV deal.

 

If they had a competitive ballclub, starting next year, they could readily afford $125 million+.

oh yay, gas can Matt today

Time for Veal to take MT spot soon as setup man in 8th.

Way too much messing around with match-ups here. Just let Crain start the inning. Thornton's fastball looks dreadful still.

I agree. Robin fell in love with the matchups thing the second half of last season.

Wow, terrible pitch selection to Morse

Well this not looking good.

Cool, man. Good bullpenning!

Well this not looking good.
