Game 118 Overflow Thread

This game has a familiar feel to it.  Rick Porcello took a good start into the sixth, before tiring out.  And thanks largely to Felix Hernandez, the Tigers weren't able to give Kid Rick much run support. 

The Mariners have broken through against Bobby Seay, scoring two in the top of the eighth.  Detroit is down 3-1, heading to their half of the inning.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff. However, it does reflect the views of this particular fan, which is as important as anything else written here at BYB.

Re: topic from other thread

I can understand your dislike for this move. I know I’m not exactly feeling great having that guy on the Wings.

I didn’t like him even before the Moore incident. He’s not a good player anymore, he really isn’t. If they wanted a third- or fourth-liner for depth purposes, they could have found someone less douchebaggy. Depressing.

Not so sure I thought he would sustain his torrent pace.

Lots of guys look fantastic at first and then struggle. He’s a very solid catcher – and at least he will be an excellent backup to split time.
