Alex Avila's OBP this month is .561. He has played every inning of every game too. VMart has been hurt and unable to catch and they have no other catcher on the roster.

Don't get me started. The Tigers top 3 in the order tonight had a combined OBP of .300 (Jackson, Ordonez, Delmon)

The Twins tortured the Tigers for an entire decade. Give us just this one season.

The Giants don't care anymore. Another loss to the Houston Astros.

3-run homer. Batting ahead of Miguel Cabrera is gonna do that boy some good.

Brandon Belt hit a 3-run homer. This is crazy. The Giants got 3 runs on one hit? 3-run homer? Have you guys ever heard of such a thing? That has to be some sort of record.

Rick Porcello is a ******* trainwreck.
I don't know how he's regressed so drastically since he was a rookie.

I really hate how narrow-minded MLB managers have been conditioned to be. I hate that setup men are never used earlier in the game in situations that are critical in shaping how the remaining innings will play out.
For instance, the Indians were rallying from 7 runs down against the Tigers just now. Porcello got pulled for the Tigers' long reliever in the 4th inning, who promptly let the rally continue a bit.
Why can't big-league managers be progressive enough to use a setup man in such a critical situation? It's one thing to stick to traditional thinking and not use a closer before the 9th inning, but when the critical juncture of a game occurs in say, the 6th inning, it pisses me off to see a mediocre guy on the mound to diffuse it.
Am I crazy?

He'll tease you from time to time thats what he does. The only hope I would have for him is if he keeps up his increased patience from the last few weeks with us.

What the ****.
Betemit just called out at 3rd when he was safe. Santiago called out on a pickoff throw when he too was safe. Back to back plays. Leyland ejected.
