@TrillaMonsoon bottom of the 9th, down one, and Sano makes the 27th out trying to stretch a double into a triple? :mindblown:

I thought it was an easy triple the way the ball bounced but when the camera panned into the infield when Inglesias caught the ball and I saw Sano wasn't even half way to 3rd, I knew it was over :francis:

But they had a lot of chances in earlier innings to score runs. 2nd and 3rd with no outs and didnt put a ball in play after that :snoop:

How keuchel won the cy young last year I will never know. This guy is such a scrub all you have to do is not swing and your guaranteed runs. This guy can't even throw a strike when he has to.

How the hell has Hammel pitched so well this year? He's gotta come back to earth at some point.

Edit: I'm not gonna lie, the collective OBP in that lineup is incredible.

Hammel pitches good in the 1st half then collapses in the 2nd half that has happened the last 2 years I don't think he'll sustain it but he's been great so far

Wait til they start hitting :youngsabo:only bryant and fowler have been consistently hitting

Jake Peavy era over 8
Matt Cain era 7

:damn: these dudes need to get the fukk out of Giants rotation. I'd even take Zito out of retirement or Lincecum right now over these clowns.

Yeah, he's been utter and complete trash

To be fair to Danks though, he had shoulder surgery and was never the same guy after it. So I get it

This shows me the Sox aren't going to be complacent and will be acquiring more talent as the season progresses

We sure all those guys are gonna start raking? Fowler is having a very Dee Gordon-esque season so far :jbhmm: ; Bryant and Rizzo will be fine. The rest of the guys in that lineup don't have a track record of hitting for high averages.

I still think the Mets are a nightmare matchup for them.

Fowler's .443 BABIP is unsustainable.

As long as Mets pitching holds up, they are a matchup nightmare against most teams in the playoffs.
