TB and O’s lol

 

TBR is for real and were expected to be good.

 

The O's have been building up a mighty foundation of young players that look to be finally maturing. I thought they were a year or two away, and they made very few moves to even replace what they traded away at last summer's deadline.

 

To me, the big LOL is the Yanks tied for the 16th best record in MLB (also the 14th, but 16th sounds better.)

No love for Kike and Turner?

 

Well , if you have friends with teams that develop too much talent, it is nice to know they'll let you have a few spare parts . After all they did take Price ( @50%) offr your hands, also a young guy named Betts.

 

It is odd that 7 of 26 players on active duty came out of the LA roster over the past few years.

If the Sox were in the NL West they’d be in 1st place in front of LA. They’d be in 1st in every division except the NL East and West, where they’d be 2nd.

 

At this rate there’s little difference between 2nd or 3rd in the division of all three wild cards are coming out of there

I didn’t see the game last night, but I heard Sale pitched pretty well, and hit 99 on the gun. I also heard he pulled a little nutty, and hit himself beside the head with the baseball. That’s keeping your head in the game.

That…..pretty much sums up the game perfectly

I did watch it and that's an excellent synopsis.

 

Right now the Sox pitching staff has 6 "quality starts," and Sale has 3 of them. He is the ace. He has found his old fastball and used it heavily in the early innings.
