Mountcastle hit a home run this week.

Right, he hit one game 1 of the DH.

Yeah, because not knowing his teammates makes him throw meatballs and letting tons of guys on base.  I'm sure if he'd been around his precious teammates a few more days he'd have thrown a perfect game or something...

So if he threw 6 scoreless that means he’s a future CY I guess.

I'll bet you a Rubenstein thrown hat that Irvin will go unclaimed and be back. 

Oh, I disagree strongly, I think the White Sox will grab him and be happy to do so, and if they don’t, the athletics will be happy to have him back.

It’s been a damn month dude.

That doesn't fit Roy's Mountcastle narrative so he doesn't remember it.

He's got 11 RBI and an OPS of 978 over the last week.

Plus the one he's going to hit in the 7th inning tonight.

Suarez keeping it close.

Also, time for Adley to bat much lower in the lineup. I understand the methodology of giving a star who is struggling more AB to get out of it, but sometimes it doesn’t help.

Not at all. But he's an extra arm and you never know if he could put together a solid few weeks.

Irvin had been awful for a long while. No upgrade for me.

Lockdown BP time. GG boys, get and keep a lead tomorrow!

we look like crap tonight...this would have been a good game to win.

This was the worse matchup pitching wise for us.  Lively has been really good and Rodger’s was a question mark in first game.

What does GG mean?

Unlike the past couple seasons, when we’re down, we don’t come back very often. This team does not rally.

I must be the only one who isn’t worried about who we gave up. 

You're not alone.

Nope, not at all.  But excusing him sucking tonight because he hadn't had time to get to know his teammates is a bit silly.  He's not a very good pitcher, regardless of if he's on a team with guys he's known for year or with guys he's known for 5 minutes.

That was quick.
