I am appalled that our pitching staff was set up to have Sale skip this series and let Noesi throw batting practice to the Tigers. We all know that it will be easier to win the division than make the wild card due to the number of teams to pass in the standings. A sweep of this series would have greatly enhanced those chances, but it appears now that the best we can do is win the series 2-1 (which only gains one game in the standings). Ventura should have had this series highlighted when setting up the rotation after the all star break and Sale should have been one of those on the mound (with Noesi not throwing this series). Just another example of mismanagement by our leader Robin and further proof we will never win a World Series with him at the helm.

 

This smells a lot like that Royals series in the Cell. We win the first game then the better team dusts us off the next 2.

Pen only has to cover 3 innings now

Heck, let Hector get a CG,

Unless we get a few runs I would just keep him in there

he gone

Good job from Hector to battle. If Ramirez catches that ball it's a much closer game. Oh well.

19 game hit streak

.300 hitter

I believe Cabrara-esque is what DJ was trying to say there (for those listening to the radio call).

Det 6-1

Glad Abreu extended his streak in this snooze fest

I'm sure Beckham will hit a 3-run homer to get this close.

Was that GB last Sox ab I hope so?

Alex Rios pulled midgame.

 

Alex Rios left Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the left quadriceps muscle.

 

Rios was hit in the third inning, and he was replaced by Dan Robertson in right field to start the fifth inning. Rios was hitless in one at-bat before exiting. The outfielder's name has been prevalent in trade rumors in recent days, so it may have been his last game as a member of the Rangers.

I think he's the only one if he gets traded, I'll feel real joy. Everyone else, it'll be ok, whatever.

SF released Uggla............go GB go.

Det 7-1 get Miggy and Victor out then not so good.

7-1

Rienzo why Robin why?

Rienzo why Robin why?

 

Eh, it's no big deal. It's not like Robin and Hahn aren't in contact with each other.

Dunn HR

I see Dunn going in a August deal.

I could go for a postgame trade announcement.
