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.

Originally posted by lightning80 No bat support for Yu Darvish last night. Allowed only 1 run..but the Rangers managed to only get 3 hits all night..and zero runs...

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.

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. 

^ Dodgers will definitely overpay.  After all the money they took on, why stop now?

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

He's def had some ugly games (i'd say 3 REALLY bad ones) but Philly has no offence going whenever he takes the mound. His last outing was pretty respectable going 6 deep, 2 earned and 10K's yet it goes to waste cuz Philly was only able to score a run. He's on pace to win 4 games this year!!

Originally posted by solocreep 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....

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

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.

Giants need a win badly. They've been giving up a bunch of points lately. Couple errors here n there. It's frustrating.

^ That's true, they mentioned something about Jhonny Peralta's increased range which is needed because defensively the Tigers are below average at 3B and 1B.

I do not watch many Detroit games, do opposing teams bunt down the 3B line knowing Cabrera isn't smooth or quick defensively?

^On one hand, being an announcer, you have a lot of air to fill over a course of a game.  But the gushing was very extreme, considering both of those players have been great for many many years.  Over Cabrera, the announcers seems surprised, like this was breaking news that he knows how to play.

^^^ I very much enjoyed that broadcast, especially the speculation about how hard Jim Leyland was going to tear into the clubhouse after the game.  Hope the Tigers are enjoying their off day in Cleveland today!

Miguel Cabrera hits 3 HRs in a game...still lost to the Rangers .

now the dodgers bullpen is blowing games...can this season get any worse?

Watching Sunday Night Baseball, Tigers at Rangers.  Currently, Miguel Cabrera is beating the Rangers 4-1.

Rockies put up 10 runs against the Giants 2 days in a row.  They rocked Bumgarner for 9 runs on Friday and Timmy for 6 runs yesterday.  Tulo had a strong game yesterday, 4-5 with 2 RBI and 1 R.

Kemp this far into the season with one home run...ouch.  His shoulder must be messed up because this doesn't wash.

Timmy on the mound tonight. Expecting him to get lit up... Again... Smh

Originally posted by solocreep Cain back to giving up the long ball. But down by 6 and come back to score 8 unanswered? That's what u call a rally.

Seriously, backing cain well. I still don't like that we have to resort to rallying to win but I guess I shouldn't be complaining at all because we are winning. Just not used to our starting pitching getting beat up on such a consistent basis

Yikes... JV got beat up big time by them Rangers! I expected much more from the highest paid player in the majors.

Looks like a big pitchers duel between JV and Darvish. Hard to say who will come out on top but ill take the rangers as they've got the best record.
