Hanrahan is our closer, Bailey was just replacing him while he was on the DL, so no surprise there.
That will change if he keeps up being an ass, obviously.
I can't help but notice how insecure Dempster looks every time he starts the game.
Always needs a couple of errors to wake him up, and then he becomes a K machine.
So, has Carp been promoted as Thor's sidekick yet?
Terrific game by Drew, I hope he has more of those.
Buchholz for Cy Young, next start vs. Twins at Fenway.
And some of the losses were really unexpected, to say the least - that Hanrahan hiccup, as well as losing both of the KC doubleheader games; so we needed to win a few important games to compensate for those bad outings.
Just hope that the Ellsbury talk doesn't start too soon.
Watched Mariners vs. Angels a bit, another great performance by Iwakuma (one unearned run in 6th) , after helping his team win against Detroit and Texas, pitching against Verlander and Darvish.
Great job, Lackey!
I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been to start the season the way he did, and I hope he'll have a terrific season just because all the effort he put in solving his weight issues.
