Another great performance by the Sox today.

Was at the braves/Nats game today. Really wish I wasn't. 9-0? Ouch.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Enjoy BJ Upton. A swing and a miss. Ugh. Great centerfielder though. Wait, you're from Jersey?

I'm not the biggest BJ Upton fan, but I'm a massive Justin Upton, Jason Heyward, and Freddie Freeman fan.

12-1

40 strikeouts in a game? Play at the plate to end the game? I love baseball, Tigers win, but extra inning games on the west coast suck when you live in the east. I fell asleep before the ending but thanks to dvr I saw it.

I made it to the end of 10. What a great pitching dual! Mad Max continues to make JV look bad. He'll have to pull up his bootstraps this afternoon. Tigers bullpen is finally improving that terrible ERA.

Yeah it's a great feeling when Verlander, the "best pitcher in baseball" is the third best pitcher on your team.

Braves>All

Even without 3 of their regular starters now, they still put up 5 runs.

It's early. Let's see the Upton Brothers do that in the post season when pitching rules as my Giants continue to prove.

Playing the Mariners is a great way to lower your ERA...

Well, you guys got it done yesterday to avoid the sweep. I know it can suck watching your team flounder. The Tigers had their worst season ever just a few years ago before ownership started throwing money at the problem. Since our current team won't be around forever I am watching every game I have time for this season.

13-2

I think what's most impressive about the win total for the Braves is they're at the point in the season where there's no team that's like 2-13. Now the Marlins aren't far from that (3-13) but at least for a few days it's awesome to enjoy that.

Another fun one that won't last, the Braves have hit 29 homers, and allowed 29 Earned runs.

Well this site needs to get more obnoxious, I'll start, every team sucks besides the Red Sox. LOL

Hah, who's your daddy! Rays are Red Sux KILLERS!

Hey, that's manager of the century there. Yes, our boys are a loose collection of misfits, but we tore through the A's and yesterday beat up on Sabathia. David "Cy Young" Price is pitching tonight for us.

 

[HoppyDaze]

committed some time to watch the Mariners last night. I can't handle another miserable season; it's just too painful.

 

[iaefebs]

I watched Anibal Sanchez throw tonight. He may have moved Justin Verlander down to the 4th best pitcher on the team. I feel sorry for Rick Porcello who has to pitch tomorrow. After the talented Braves had to deal with that nastiness today, (17 K's) Porcello pitches will look like beach balls coming in.

Leyland needs to switch Porcello out of the rotation!!!

I don't know who else to throw in replacement of Porcello. Hopefully they can get 5 innings from him. But it might be closer to 2 2/3

Smyly

 

[iaefebs]

Smyly

Well that could happen in the future, But I doubt today's game will be the final straw for Porcello as the 5th starter. In order to get anything for him in trade the Tigers will work on him.

 

[punkrockdave]

The 18-7 RedSox, that is all.

Porcello remains the weakest link in Detroit's starting pitchers. It's easy to jump on the Smyly bandwagon but he had some trouble down the stretch last season, if I remember correctly. I think that spending time around guys like Max, JV, Sanchez, and Fister will help to elevate Rick's game. He looked a lot better against the Braves this weekend.

Speaking of which, this was a HUGE series! Helps to calm the nerves to see the bats getting hot again.

True, I definitely know that Smyly is not the final answer. At the end of the day they need to be looking for a trade to fill the gaps.

^Relevant Fact

If they keep this up, Red Sox Nation will have forgotten all about 2012 in the next couple of weeks. And that's a good thing, because 2012 spewed huge chunks.

And as an oldie, I'm lovin' Ortiz even more than usual...

Cheers!

Nother amazing game tonight by the Sox. Relevant fact kids, get used to it. It is a long season.
