Whew! Thank goodness for the delete feature.

Here's a Strength of Victory that looks a little shinier.

Jonathan Schoop's team in Detroit finishes off a 3-game sweep over Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and...ummm...Joey Lucchesi.

Buck Showalter on the down side this time.

[Il BuonO]

Seriously, trade him.

[Mooreisbetter27]

For #@$%'s sake.  COME ON.  We can't shut down the freaking Royals??

[Fiver6565]

Get Grayson out and put Voth in.  This is ridiculous.

[OriolesMagic83]

Get someone up in the bullpen.  This is ridiculous.

[Gurgi]

Greyson looking like a load of stinking poop today.  Nothing special about this guy.  We are going to lose this game I think.  

[justD]

He lost the high FB and they knew it. 

[HandsomeQuack]

My gosh, eight is not going to cut it.

[Emory Eagle]

He has got to be tipping pitches 

[Il BuonO]

Not fooling anyone.

These are growing pains for a rookie. He has a reputation for turning it on when the team is down, and now we're seeing the opposite in terms of being sloppy with a big lead. And Adley not being out there probably makes a real difference. These are things he'll figure out with time.

Fine .. just not willing to sacrifice a series win for his growth today ..

Everything GrayRod is throwing is up, but not up enough if he's trying to throw a high fastball.

[Just Regular]

Gas 'em up...

I wonder how many of Grayson's career starts have been on 4 days rest.     Tuesday Sundays weren't too thick in my memory.

[ArtVanDelay]

Starting pitching is a major concern
