Annnnd the Mariners' woes against Cleveland continue. They were 1 game off .500 when the series with the Indians started, and got swept (outscored 27 - 15 in the series). They had a chance at salvaging one win in the series today, when in the top of the 10th, Smoak hit a 4-baser that barely stayed fair to give the M's an 8-7 lead. But the bottom of the inning featured a bloop single, a dropped throw to first, and jacked shot well over the tall left center well resulted in a 8-10 loss.
Perhaps the visit to the struggling A's will bring some fight back into em. |

^haha welcome to the basement of the AL. But at least the M's can't be as bad as the Angels and Stros.

So far so good with the giants. Up 2-0 vs the nats.

Exactly what we needed with this shutout win at home. But with Vogey injured, possibly out 6 weeks after pitching the best 5 innings he's pitched all season.... Not sure if I can say today was a good day.... |

^boo hoo, one starter suffered an injury. There's still Cain, Baum, Timmy, and Zito. I think the giants are pretty safe if u ask me. I'll show some sympathy when 3 of 4 goes down and you're forced to put guys like Ramon Ortiz to save the season.

Phillies are 1-9 in Cole Hamels' starts. He has thrown out some stinkers, for sure, but that is just ridiculous.

Our starting pitching hasn't been the same. Down one arm isn't good. Arms would be more tired at the end of the season. Where its most important.

Kershaw has been the only bright spot for the Dodgers this year...well Gonzalez and Crawford are doing their share. But he has been unbelievable. He holds the lowest era for any pitcher with more than 1000 innings in MLB history! And he is only 25.
His era over his last 58 starts is 1.97. He would have one the Cy Young award last year if it wasn't for the dodgers not scoring any runs for him. Still aren't scoring runs for him this year but with an era of only 1.37 he has managed to pull out 5 wins. If Greinke is worth 150 million...what is Kershaw worth?

It's the dodgers. They'll over pay. |

Rockies have won 5 of the last 6... Tulo is batting .338 with 38 RBIs... Cargo has 11 HRs...JDLR has 6 Ws... I know better than to get my hopes up but watching the Rockies lately has been fun.

Cliff Lee with a 3 hit shutout (okay it was against the Marlins), and he looked nasty. With Hamels struggling so much and Halladay out until who-knows-when, good to see one of the "aces" doing his part: 5-2, 2.47 ERA / 1.02 WHIP.

If it meant to lock up Kershaw.... then ya, I'd gladly overpay too! I'm sure any team would do the same regardless than to see him sign elsewhere. And damn, Miggy is playing out of his mind right now!! He's got 13 hr, 52 rbi's and batting .387 in 44 games. All this while starting slow out of the gate.

Now you know how it feels to [be a Mariners fan, and more specifically] watch Felix Hernandez pitch lol. Angels lit up Maurer yesterday, scoring 5 runs in the first, and 1 in both the 2nd and 3rd innings. He was pulled and the Halos were held relatively silent after that. The M's had been hanging around in the middle of their division, but have been swept in their last 2 series (0-4 @ CLE, 0-2 @ LAA), are now only a half game up on the Angels, and will be hosting the Rangers for 3 starting tomorrow. I'm sure it's nice to be back home after such an awful road stand, but confidence can't be very high right now. I was hoping they might start off the series with Felix pitching, but as stated above, their utter lack of run support won't do much for Felix taking the mound. |

The Rangers are playing with scrub starting pitchers and still managing to be on top of the MLB. Ross Wolf pitched a win yesterday, allowing only 1 run against the A's. Wait, who's Ross Wolf? He started in place of Nick Tepesch, who had a blister. How many of us have heard of Tepesch? Next up is Justin Grimm. Yeah, I don't know who he is either. At least we know the rest of the rotation: Derek Holland and Yu Darvish.
Just wait until the real SPs return from injuries: Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison (SP/RP), Colby Lewis, and Alexi Ogando (SP/RP).

yeah those comments were likely made by Giants fans. :) I just got finished saying he has the best era in baseball history with over 1000 innings...that is pretty incredible and the dude is only 25. If you are going to overpay for anyone he is the guy and barring injury he will earn his contract. I am guessing 10 years 250 million or 8 years and 224 million. Obviously you do not want to go to 10 years but I am guessing it is going to be around that if it is anywhere around 5 years then he will get 30 million per as a best guess. I figured every year less than 10 year contract will add 1 million more per year annually.

I don't think Hamels is struggling that much. His era and whip are high but his record this year doesn't accurately reflect his performance. He's delivered 7 quality starts. The problem is that Philly has absolutely no offence when he takes the mound. Giving your pitcher a one-run buffer is not exactly good run support. I've got him on my fantasy team so I'm hoping he can turn it around and make it somewhat respectable.

Went to Comerica Park tonight and watched Anibal Sanchez get within 2 outs of a no-hitter. With 1 out in the 9th inning Joe Mauer laced a single up the middle. Damn. Good game, Tigers won 6-0.

^I'm supposed to head down there Monday with my grandfather. I guess he's going out on the field with some other vets and he asked me to go. Problem is- I know nothing about baseball. I liked playing it when I was a kid, but watching it is soooo boring (for me, I know there's tons of people that love it).

I switched over to MLB.TV to watch the 9th inning. You knew Mauer would be a tough out in that situation, but still a great game. Sanchez-Fister-Scherzer-Verlander is pretty formidable.

It was amazing. I seriously can't believe the way this season has been panning out. So many come from behinds victories and now an inside the park walk off 2 run homer in the 10th. This offense backing up our sub-par pitching. not used to it but ill take the wins! |
