Happy with the W but the starting pitching has to get better. I think we can agree that the astros's still the team to beat in the AL. They're the top dog. Guardians can be dangerous because of the pitching.

Velazquez is really pushing his way into a much more meaningful role.

 

Great to see the Yanks lose.

 

8 out of 9 get on base. A different 8 out of 9 score or drive in a run.

 

I'm beginning to wonder about Johnson.

Sooner or later he is going to take a spot in the rotation.

 

I said many months ago that Velazquez would play a significant role this season.

 

He's a pretty solid 5 1/3 guy and a real bargain.

Velazquez now is tied for the team lead in wins (4) with Porcello and is 2nd on the team in ERA to only Kimbrel. He deserves major props for his work this year both as a starter and as a long man. Edited by Jasonbay44

He may not have the talent a guy like Pomeranz has, but Velazquez just knows how to pitch. I think the role he has now is perfect for him. Not sure I want him starting every fifth day. This is a better fit.

I agree. A spot start here or there is fine, but it's nice having a guy who can give you 2-3 innings every 2-3 days.

I love this man :)

 

Hard fought win and the Stanks lost. Houston is really coming on from their slow start this year.

There are 4 very tough AL teams this year:

 

Boston

 

Houston

 

NY Yanks

 

Cleveland

 

All could win 94+ games.

Should we just toss up a game thread for the Tuesday game or do we think the usual suspects will show?
