Better late than never I guess. Shesh.

OMG the reporters fawning over Josh Phegley He is not Johnny Bench for cryin outloud.Here is my read he's fat,slow, and a defensive hack. If Flowers wasn't a piece of shit this guy wouldn't be in the show

I'm out.

Here's my take: He probably sucks but we don't know yet. With Flowers, we're certain.

Maybe he is Johnny Bench.

If Bud didn't make this game count No one would give a fuck who is in the All-Star game

The Sox are aggressive on the basepaths and the other team does something stupid. That's a welcome change.

Fucking pathetic.

Sox looking like a lock for a top 5 pick (if not top 3) next year.

It's okay.

Just part of The Scheme.

Matt Thorton, its time to be put out to pasture. Either trade him or DFA him. He serves no purpose on this team anymore.

They might lose 100 games. Absolutely pathetic.

With all the bullshit official scoring going on around MLB you're god damn right that was a hit. 6-6 a run scored, 2 rbi and 2 stolen bases for Rios. Have a night, Kid.

Well that was a fucking shock. 11 runs on 23 hits in a game Justin Verlander started. It's about time the offense did something for Quintana who had another really good start. These assholes will probably get no hit tomorrow but it was nice to see for at least one night.

Yeah, but Verlander didn't get any run support.

Why are you sure he won't be back?

He got one. That should have been more than enough against a terrible White Sox offense. I guess a drunk from the corner could have started for the Tigers and the result would have been the exact same.

Quintana proving me wrong.

Still not completely sold, but getting there.

Right. Verlander was horseshit last night. Are you telling us he was good? He earned his loss. His "run support" was irrelevant.

He doesn't have overpowering stuff, so there aren't a ton of strikeouts. But, his numbers are pretty good.

the only guy on the Tigers that gets any run support is Scherzer

I think he needs to be so perfect with control its likely he'll get hit around more than not, but he is doing well as a Buehrle type, which is rare.

I figured he'd be OK. In the minors he had a remarkable ability to avoid the long ball. I guess the Sox got him as a 6-year minor league free agent? Big mistake by the Yankees.

A career WHIP of 1.27 isn't too bad in the AL. He doesn't walk many guys, or allow a lot of HRs. He is actually a pretty good #3 or #4.

He has more than just some value. He's a 24 year old lefty with pretty good stuff. He needs to be more efficient with his pitches and he needs to keep the ball in the park but for a guy who is learning how to pitch at the major league level he's doing a damn good job. The Sox have a real nice core of young (left handed) starting pitchers in Sale (24), Danks (28), Quintana (24) and Santiago (25).

They are in a tough spot. Good lineup, godawful starting 9.
