TEN GAME LEAD EVERYONE.

TEN GAME LEAD.

I'm going to go with Tillman, Chen, and Gonzelez as my first three.

This.  How could you not start Tillman, Gonzalez and Norris against Anaheim?

Sure, against Detroit/KC, but not Anaheim.

Bud Norris is a career 4-0 in 6 starts against the Angels, with a 0.43 ERA.  Zero point four three.  Chen is 0-1 in 2 starts with a 5.23. 

But teams typically go with four starters, right? If so, add Norris and have Gausman be your long man.

Defensive Efficiency is the percentage of balls in play (i.e., fair balls that don't leave the park) that a defense converts into outs; Ultimate Zone Rating is an advanced play-by-play defensive metric available at FanGraphs; and Defensive Runs Saved is a complicated measure that makes use of all sorts of defensive calculations and arrives at an overall figure.

Chen pitched a perfect game through 5 today.

Orioles really running away with it.

Time to sweep the Yankees this weekend and really put a hurting on Derek Jeter night on ESPN.

hold on, not so fast.

remember two years ago when Joe Saunders was the go to guy?

Yes.

but, they still won!

Yankees sweep time.

I think it's time to get excited when you're scoring a touchdown every game for a week…

You don't think it's time to get excited?

Of course, but that's because the Halo's have won 7 straight and scored a touchdown per game for the entire week.

Better save some of that for later….

Does Cabrera retroactively win a second Triple Crown? No offense to Orioles fans, but I agree: least surprising story ever.

The only surprise here for me was that it was for amphetamines and not a more powerful performance enhancing drug.

Oh it was? I honestly hadn't heard about it until you just posted. How weird.

ESPN about 10 minutes behind Smackies sources…

"I made a mistake taking Adderall.  I had permission in the past, but I don't now."

sucks.

they don't need him to win though.

But, still…sucks.

Buck will plug somebody else in and it will work. It just seems like that kind of season.

He's an idiot.  Plain and simple.
