Alright Zach, we need a solid outing tonight. Don't let Bautista beat you. We'll take 6 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 2 R, thank you.

[Abadie]

I am AMPED up for tonights game. We need to come out and beat the YOU KNOW WHAT out of Toronto. We've been the door mat of the AL EAST for too long....lets show this division rival what's up and get that momentum going into September.

Chirp chirp!

Toronto scares the living crap out of me. They can score runs, and we have problems in that department. I feel this is a very dangerous team in this series. And Zach better be good or he's going to get torched.

This is a very dangerous series. We need two of three, nothing less, but TOR due, it will be a tough ball game tonight.

I think Zach gained a lot of confidence against the Tigers. I'm thinking 6 2/3 with 2ER. I think we ultimately win this game 5-2.

Weak lineup, but an impressive outing nevertheless. Lots of grounders. The rebound of Britton could be huge down the stretch.

We're due for something working out well for the staff! I'm optimistic about

Hammel and Matusz too. DD might turn out to have been a mad roster-churning genius when this is all over.

This is exactly what I thought. I had little expectation for Britton, but what a boost he would be if he can pitch like his last two outings. I am pulling for the kid, he certainly has talent. If he and Tillman can keep it up, with Bundy and Gausman coming, we will be in good shape down the road.

[Brendan25]

I thought Britton was fantastic. The grounders shows that his stuff is there. Just needs to keep having the command.

[NATTYBO's]

I have to admit I wasn't to happy with the O's bringing Britton back up after he struggled but he has really turn things around. He and Steve Johnson have made a case to be in the rotation....Saunder on the other hand.

Just terrible. It's disgusting how far Britton, Matusz, Arrieta, Bergesen have fallen. Just really, really bad.

He allowed 3 of those runs off of home runs. He allowed 5 home runs up here.

He's walking the park. Getting hit hard. He was rushed to the majors in the first place. Can't go deep into games. No consistency.

Sorry, he has no business being up here.

We are in a penant chase this year. We do not have time to let 24 year old struggling starters figure out how not to suck at the big league level.

Can I interest you in some , lads?

[waroriole]

Just filthy today. If he can pitch like this down the stretch, I really like our chances.
