David Ortiz singles on a bunt ground ball to shortstop Munenori Kawasaki.

Anyone else catch Brett Lawrie going ape [expletive] and spiking his helmet at an ump?

oh man, Hawk's heartbreak made my day

 

Sox started the 9th four runs down and after a Valverde blowup (and likely serious arm injury) put the go-ahead run up to bat in the form of Viciedo, who came about two or three feet from an opposite field HR

Everything about you is detestable.

 

Detestable or intriguing? Seems to me like you can't get enough. You've probably spent more time commenting on my posts than any other poster on this board. Must be the similarities we share like being Grade A douches/losers with dreams of being known as the most alpha poster on a message board. I can't WAIT 'til I my post count is enough that I can drop one judgmental line on a post and walk away with that little tingly feeling I have zero doubts you get (I got em good!).

 

Sure, why not.

HAHA! Got 'em again big dog! Cool, calm, collected, AND funny...Unstoppable!

Alright then.

So I remember some liked Wei-Yin Chen this offseason. He's doing pretty well for the O's, including prolonging the Yankees' offensive slump a couple of nights ago. He hit 93 maybe 94, had consistent mechanics, showed off a good slider, OK curve (not a bringer of doom), and a decent changeup.

 

So far: 44 IP / 39 H / 3 HR / 14 BB / 32 K / 3.41 FIP / 4.41 xFIP

 

Quality scouting job on the part of the O's, as well as those who were on the wagon. Hopefully he keeps it up though there's a decent chance he regresses slightly.

I was a big Chen fan in the offseason. I don't really have a problem with Maholm, though I still kind of wish we'd have gone with Chen over him. Still early, though.

Is Jose Altuve really 5'5? That has to be the shortest pro athlete since Mugsy Bogues.

He is. Played in the Future's Game last year, and IIRC did alright for himself.

Verlander is being a badass again.

Live look in on MLB.com.

[Sosa21MVP]

Pirates break up the no-hitter with 1 out in the 9th. Man.

[PriortoTheoIhadWood]

That was fun while it lasted. Wish he got it.

[davell]

Verlander's average FB was 91.4 in innings 1-3. 97.9 in 7 thru the 9th.
