Remember last year when the board illumanti told us that the Porcello trade and extension was the worst move in baseball? Good times. The 11 wins over Tampa are especially impressive |

Did not think he'd be this good for them to be honest. He had a 3.43 ERA in his last year in Detroit.....and was 15-13
He is having a little better year this year(3.26).......His insane run support is not his doing...
Jose Quintana is having a better year and is a better pitcher.....he is around .500.

Probably Francis, Cotton, or Ox. Probably... I will admit I so did not expect that. It's nice to see Price possibly turning a corner... I'll also admit I've been very harsh on him |

I also remember Boston(may not have been you) HATING that move more than Panda. Zig? ring any bells?
Well Panda certainly hasn't panned out.. Though apparently he has lost what 20 pounds? |

is he even around? is he rehabbing his "injury"? or is hit sitting on his pile of $100 Mil on an island somewhere..

Panda is done. The weight loss came too late. It might have saved him a couple years ago, but it won't now. He'll get maybe 200 plate appearances next year, spend more time on the DL, and then he will get released. Another team will pick him up for 2018 and he'll get maybe 100 more plate appearances, and that will be it. |

Not the post I was looking for,I know I made one saying he was better than what he was doing early on for the Sox but gave up trying to find it. ------------------- I actually like Porcello but those #s cant be right. I hope the fuck they aren't Read more: sportschatter.co/search/results#ixzz4IplFRCVISo I thought they over paid but also thought he was pretty good. I sorta was right |

Heard reports that he is progressing nicely and the Red Sox are optimistic about him. can't be any worse than he was with the club, could he?  |

Did you expect the Red Sox to say he is still a fat slob that can't bend over and has diminished bat speed? |

I thought they should have spent Panda or Hanley money on James Shields. What a dolt I am. What team would want James Shields. What team would trade for James Shields?! Guy is a bum. |

Intentionally walk Curtis Granderson
Bring in Righty to face Rene Rivera, knowing the Mets would pinch hit Jay Bruce
2 outs no one on in the 9th inning, DOESNT walk the only player in the lineup that would scare anyone
Some highlights of Don Mattinglys' evening

Losing ground in the divisional race, the Orioles are looking for waiver wire trades according to a report from Buster Olney (ESPN Insider). Unfortunately for them though, the Yankees have “been aggressive in making [waiver] claims” which has limited the Orioles’ ability.
With just three days remaining for the Orioles to add players to their roster who would be able to play in the postseason, the scramble is on. However, the Yankees—who are lower in the standings—have priority on waiver claims. That means that any player put on waivers—including revocable ones—must first pass through every team lower in the standings than the Orioles in order for the Orioles to be able to work out a deal.
The Orioles were in first place in the AL East as recently as August 12. However, a record of 6-9 has not only allowed the Blue Jays to claim first, but the Red Sox have overtaken them as well. Remarkably, the Yankees sit just 6.5 games back of the Blue Jays in fourth place. Deemed sellers at the deadline, the Yankees have gained some ground and blocking the Orioles from making deals could bolster their Wild Card prospects.
The Orioles begin a series Monday evening against the first-place Blue Jays that could have major postseason implications. The team has been getting by with sub-standard pitching for the entire season and it seems to be coming to the fore down the stretch.
Through August, the Orioles starters rank below the league average in ERA, FIP, and xFIP. More specifically, the recent struggles of Chris Tillman, Yovani Gallardo, and the newly-acquired Wade Miley might be leading Dan Duquette and the rest of the Orioles’ front office to look for pitching on the waiver wire.
That need isn’t especially difficult to decipher though, and the Yankees—and every team that thinks they’re in contention—are likely also looking for available pitching help for a postseason push.
The Orioles were unable to make much happen prior the non-waiver trade deadline at the beginning of August, only acquiring Miley and Steve Pearce. The team didn’t have much farm depth from which to deal though, and this predicament is largely their own doing.

Remember him?
Poor Outfielder/first baseman Allen Craig. Things have gone from bad to worse for him. The Red Sox dumped him off their 40-man roster last season and he has battled injuries most of this season in the minor leagues.
He recently suffered a 1-for-34 downturn at the plate for Pawtucket and is hitting just .164 at the Triple-A level. Craig, 32, has one more year at $11 million left on his contract, plus a $1 million buyout for 2018. Ouch!
