Pirates sweep the Royals and with help from the Tigers they are in first place.

The Red Sox apparently are doing their best to honor Fenway's 100th anniversary....

They will cure their woes when they com here for the next 3 games. Miami has lost 6 straight...ALL AT HOME.

The Red Sox have actually gotten better than expected performances from several position players: Ross, Aviles, Saltalamacchia, Sweeney, Middlebrooks, Nava and now Posednick. They have also gotten better than expected results from fourth starter Doubront and third alternate closer Aceves.

On the downside, you have prolonged major injuries to all-stars Ellsbury and Crawford and their closer, Andrew Bailey, and inexplicable, total discombulations by three pitchers: Buchholz, Bard and Melancon.

I think, or at least hope, that the worst is over for their pitching. Buchholz was outstanding in his most recent starts, Beckett is pitching like an all-star again, and since there is nothing physically or mechanically wrong with Lester, then expect him to deliver his typical career numbers for the remainder of the season. All that remains is for them to find a fifth starter. Dice-K gave up four runs in six innings Saturday. I don't know if he is any better than that.

The American league is a tough league to earn a wild card spot in this year, even with there being two of them, because you have the Yankees and Rays in the East, and the Angels are going to win 95 or so games in the west. The Red Sox could have a good year and still not get a wildcard with 90-something wins.

Angels now only 2.5 games behind the Rangers. Don't look now, but there IS a race in the AL West!

 

[whitewolf8214]

Should be a good race between Rangers and Angels the rest of the year and should go down to the wire

 

[KCK_Halo]

YES! Now that the Angels have finally come together. They are hitting and running like there is no tomorrow. Everyone was excited about Albert but wound up being mesmerized by Mike Trout. He has totally re-energized the team. Summer starts next Wednesday and it should be a fun one!

Baseball's worst starter through May 21:

Clay Buchholz, 9 starts, 7.84 ERA

Baseballs best starter since then?

Clay Buchholz 4 starts, 31 innings, 1.45 ERA

Here is a priceless event. Vin Scully calls in to congratulate long-time Kings PBP man Bob Miller:

Strasmas report:

Pitchers    IP   H  R ER BB SO HR  PC-ST  ERA 
S Strasburg 6.0  5  2  2  1  8  1  89-62  2.45

(W, 8-1)

Dang. That "lousy" pitching line made his ERA go up by 0,04.​

There will be a better report to post from the city by the bay in a few minutes here, regardless of what happens in the 9th.

What a catch by Blanco to start out the seventh. Great defensive positioning and speed on that one.

 

[Ramy]

There has been a lot of perfect games/no hitters thrown this year.
