I take it you only went to the first game of the series, Fath?

Yep

Melky!

Alexei doubled nd that breaks something like 0 for 35 slump

Was about to be really mad until the replay showed that it was a slip.

 

Good job Avi.

Quintana's bad luck streak continues

Eaton geez

Good job Q.

Q with a great outing tonight.

Quintana has done a very good job of pitching himself out of trouble tonight...

 

Not much you can say about this offense. It is what it is (I am what I am, Popeye).

This seems like a good "building block" series. Long season, royals are on top and l feel they're about to fold. This team and the tribe l think are about to go on a tear.

Baserunning

Garcia just doesn't have that first and second step quickness to be a very effective base stealer.

DJ was talking about how great it was to have Gordon back this season.

ventura is just so bad...

 

Why pinch hit Beckham?

 

Why pinch hit Bonifacio?

Well, KC just got swept by the Astros and we went 5-1 against them.

 

Unfortunately, you have to play well against the teams in your own division and play around .500 on the road, not 11-12 games under.

 

 

After an absolute rocket with 2 outs though, becks wasn't doing sh*t anyway

Very true caufs, we absolutely suckvs the division, until that changes we're stuck. Balt/jays series will be very telling. I think tribe are about to gofull thottle.

There was a time when such a thing didn't seem possible. There were 398 players picked before Carpenter in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. He received a $1,000 signing bonus.

 

That's because Carpenter had just finished his fifth year at TCU. He went undrafted as a junior after blowing out his elbow and undergoing Tommy John surgery. There were other issues as well.

 

Some wondered about Carpenter's work ethic and commitment, a notion that seems hilarious now because, as La Russa learned, his will to be great is relentless, his demeanor serious.

 

Back then, though, scouts had watched as Carpenter's weight ballooned to around 240 pounds at one point during his career at TCU, seemingly not all that serious about the whole thing. Looking back on it now, Carpenter simply was a college kid trying to balance school work, baseball and a social life.

 

 

Just goes to show not every All-Star player comes from the first 10 picks of the first round...

You mean like Buehrle?

Flowers bomb!

 

Had to leave the game early. Dad did not want to stay any longer lol

Ha Ha Flowers Sox 4-1

Flowers hits his second HR off the best pitching staff in baseball, of course. Offense!

Tyler Flowers!

 

Guys you can mock me, but Tyler Flowers has talent. He must be a headcase or something because he has a beautiful stroke the rare occasions he gets hold of one. Seven homers now. He's gonna hit 15 to 20 bombs again. How come he can't learn to hit .275? He'd be an all star.
