May 14, 201510 yr Sure, it's obvious they pulled him to be careful. But a guy with 113 pitches and a perfect game going into the 9th would never be pulled and I'm surprised this wasn't treated the same way. 20 K's is rarer than a perfecto, after all.

As bad as the Indians and Kluber have been this year, I don't blame them for not chancing the health of their ace right now. Their only chance to get back into things is if he is healthy.
May 14, 201510 yr The A's are 13-23 with a +1 run diff. That's weird. Their first three wins were shutouts...30-0, and first six wins at 47-1. Edited May 14, 201510 yr by flavum
May 14, 201510 yr http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...&mode=video Trout robbed a home run and then made an even much better play catching a flare and then gunning down Carlos Gonzalez at the plate from medium-depth CF while off-balance. Defense wins! (Poor Rockies, 11 losses in a row now).

I don't know how the Rockies get value for Tulo. The injury history will have teams looking for a discount, but he's locked up through 2020 on a reasonable deal.

May 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ May 13, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) Addison Reed came in for the three run save, gave up a couple singles, a walk and the grand slam. Chip Hale has seen enough...he's out of the closer role.
May 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (Wanne @ May 15, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) Chip Hale has seen enough...he's out of the closer role. Yep was just about to post this. Addison is a mediocre at best closer and he's better suited to a middle relief role. Even when he racked up some saves in Chicago it was always a tight rope act. His luck was bound to run out.

May 16, 201510 yr QUOTE (staxx @ May 16, 2015 -> 05:13 PM) I've never seen the ball explode off the bat like it does with him. Greg Luzinski several times, in the old part, hit the roof face plate and the other when he park the ball on the roof of the old part.

May 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) And with 2 outs in the 9th they get a hit. He only had 4 strikeouts, one of those balls were bound to get through the defense, sucks that it came on the last one. Miller's been great this year.
