Hope you picked up Pomeranz in time for his nice start vs. BOS today! Also hoping I didn't just jink him for the rest of the game in progress now...

JC's comparison between the two Oakland arms is what made it tough for me, but once I discovered he preferred Gonzalez to Hahn, it became an easier call, as I'm focused on Ks, and despite MGs good start there, I think Pom has more K potential.

Pomeranz throws that knuckle-curve quite a bit. When he has it working it can really go well with his fastball. When he can't find the zone or doesn't have the feel of it as well, it seems like he gets into trouble pretty quickly. Not sure if that is actually what's going on, but relying on that type of pitch combo seems more prone to extreme results vs. your standard reliable FB/slider type guy.

agree with masher on this one.
and as an aside (because it doesn't matter in terms of place in the lineup), crisp made a pretty amazing catch on pedroia's line drive to left-center this afternoon…"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

Billy Burns gets the first rbi of his career last night after 81 at bats..........on a bases loaded walk lol.
It must have gone to his head because he hit a home run today. He only had two in 1511 minor league at bats.
He's also stolen a base in 5 of the last 7 games.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
