Finally to .500.

You guys are smoking crack with the questioning of Longo's long term contract.

Seriously. Huge no-brainer for this franchise. He is so good and it would just cripple the fanbase to see that guy in a Yankee uniform.

 

[Osaurus]

Loved the walk off home run, but no way it should have gotten to that. Can't believe Wright loaded the bases again. WTF?

 

[Premier]

Maybe it's just a hot month of baseball talking, but it's a shame they didn't get a 2014 option on Loney or Kelly Johnson.

 

[Premier]

Nice winning streak to get everything corrected.

Desmond Jennings says 'HI!'

 

[Limp Ditka]

It's like they told him, 'We need you to replace BJ Upton.' and he took it literally.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Archer or Odorizzi?

 

[Premier]

Archer or Odorizzi?

It's going to be Odorizzi.

 

[Eephus]

Archer or Odorizzi?

It's going to be Odorizzi.

Archer is starting today in AAA which would make him unavailable when Price's turn in the rotation comes up

Am I the only one concerned about how bad Wil Myers has been?

Glad he's not up with the team yet. Seems like he still has some things to work out.

His strikeouts have always been one of the big concerns about Myers. His SO rate has gone up to nearly 30% this year.

Yea I don't know where to go get the numbers on my mobile, but from what I remember his numbers against righties so far are absolutely horrific too.

 

[Premier]

Another blown lead. Sickening.

 

[Raider Nation]

That's what he gets for that stupid crooked hat.

 

[Limp Ditka]

So who's taking over the closer role in TB?

 

[Premier]

So who's taking over the closer role in TB?

Peralta has been great, but he's been locking the 8th inning up and pretty much is the only guy in the pen doing his job. There's not really anybody else.

 

[Grahamburn]

Rodney struck out the side and looked filthy Tuesday night.

Funny game.

 

[Premier]

12-4 lead = NOT ENOUGH

 

[Osaurus]

12-4 lead = NOT ENOUGH

Told the wife the same thing.

 

[gump]

Feels great to be on the flip side of one of these blowups.

Like they stole one back.

Lueke and Torres showing some nice young power arms for the pen. Hopefully they keep them and ####can Farnsworth and Wright.

(They won't do that)

 

[Grahamburn]

Fantastic job by the bullpen yesterday. Nice to see Maddon going to these other guys. Lueke looked fantastic. Two big wins in a row. Need Moore to be an ace today.

That's a lot of sentence fragments.

 

[Osaurus]

Loved seeing the Orioles with bullpen issues.

Lueke looked his age today.

 

[Premier]

Maddon with the short leash on Rodney tonight. There's a chance he's had enough of him.

 

[Premier]

@wezen_ball: Fernando Rodney should use his imaginary bow to try to shoot the ball out of the sky every time he blows a save on a home run ball

 

[Premier]

Yet another blown game.

 

[gump]

Maddon with the short leash on Rodney tonight. There's a chance he's had enough of him.

Thought the same thing....the well-known patience is wearing thin. I bet he sticks with him though.

 

[Osaurus]

Oof

 

[rascal]

So is Myers not coming up till July? Is he still struggling?

 

[Premier]

Struggling badly and the Rays (last few nights excluded) have been pounding the ball. I wouldn't expect him for a while, if at all this year.

What else can you do? McGee, Farnsworth?

Rodney has the best stuff in the pen. His command has been the problem. It just looks like he's throwing instead of pitching. If he'd throw his fastball 95-96 and locate it instead of trying to throw it 99 and put it on a tee like he did yesterday he'd be fine.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I see you're familiar with Fernando Rodney's career.

You mean to tell me last year was an aberration?

That's what I mean to tell you.

 

[Premier]

Why do we have to continue to suffer with Fausto Hernandez when Chris Archer is in Durham?

 

[Osaurus]

So far they're not blowing a lead.

 

[Premier]

@TBTimes_Rays: #rays Maddon said he doesn't anticipate any discussion about dropping Hernandez from rotation.

 

[Premier]

Another day, another blown save for Rodney.

 

[shadyridr]

Time to hang up the bow amd arrow

 

[Osaurus]

Another day, another blown save for Rodney.

He sure is one

 

[Vrana]

I've been a pretty big Rodney apologist amongst my friends... but come on.

Just picked up Peralta in my fantasy league.

 

[Premier]

This just isn't a good team.

After 2 months they're .500, getting swept by the first place team at home, they have no bullpen and 2.5 starting pitchers.

We all keep waiting for them to turn it around, but I'm not seeing it. And even if they do, NY, Boston and Baltimore are all really good.

The good news is we're a day closer to football season.

 

[Raider Nation]

Can we get a Presedential order to keep Mo from retiring?

Your Boston fan thread is down the hall.

desmond jennings is so boringly bad

Cobb and Moore and pray for the roof to spring a leak.
