James Shields settled down marvelously against the Tigers today continuing to show that he may be the ace of that staff as Kaz continues to struggle, now if only the backend of that rotation was even halfway decent.
Yesterday I forgot to mention, Delmon Young's arm is magnificent, he threw a strike to third that was insane.
Hindsight Trade Stats:
Horacio Ramirez for Rafael Soriano
Ramirez: 40.1ip, 4-2, 6.47 era, 14 k, 1.88 whip
Soriano: 24ip, 1-0, 2.63 era, 5-5 sv/opp, 24 k, 0.63 whip, had a stretch of 10 1/3 inn without letting up a hit.
I'm gonna go with the Braves making out better on that one.
Nate Robertson and Chuck James are two lefties that are both great pitchers that can't seem to make it out of the sixth inning. Nate might just need a haircut but I don't know what is going on with Chuck.
A-Rod being A rod? Calling "I got it" to confuse the Toronto Blue Jays infielders takes guts and he proves that he will do what it takes to win a game, at least someone on the Bronx side of New York does.
A Few Things:
All the grass is dead in Miller Park, Hudson was getting the ground ball like it was his job.
Shields off the hook, and didn't need to let his bullpen blow it, well Reyes could've got the save.
Bush pitched pretty good. Turnbow didn't, I really thought they would go to Cordero for the last 1.2 in a bases loaded 1 out situation, he has done some 1.1's one place I don't agree with Yost.
Byrd was throwing strikes and getting outs, behind C.C and Fausto he's why they are on top.
Pujols almost to .300.
Dice-K slacked.
Ichiro's streak vs. Youkilis's? I think Ichiro's will last longer.
Allstar Balloting notes:
I'm getting tired so I'll only cover one today- Ortiz, Hafner, and Giambi are all in the top 5 for first baseman. That is why the NL is better. Play a position or deal with the fact you should only make the allstar game when it is in an American League park.
