Fun Note

[BigHurt3515]

We are the only team in the AL with less than 10 losses

We are also four wins ahead of the next highest win total in the AL, and the first in MLB to 18 wins.

As if we'll need 7 Games

For a team with a front office who get to work in a clown car, a manager who shouldn't manage a lemonade stand, and a roster full of has beens and never weres, they are doing pretty well, although if you read gamethreads, should be doing better.

It's fun notes, not twat notes.

Another fun note, with Price getting rocked last night Quintana now has the lowest ERA in the American League over the past calendar year.

On the board last week since he started his career, the only lefties in the AL with more quality starts are Price and Sale. He probably is the most under the radar pitcher in baseball. Even the opposition doesn't give him his due. See Donaldson . I will take the results.

Where does one obtain such a broad paintbrush?

Thank you. In a new world that has the Cubs and Sox at the top of the standings it is good to know that some things do not change

Here's another fun fact: when we start anyone other than Rodon or Danks, the team is 16-1.

Moooooom he posted it again!!

Yeah, if the Sox get that far, good luck beating them in a playoff series where the rotation goes Sale-Q-Latos-Rodon-Sale-Q-Latos. Even if you assume you beat Rodon, which isn't a given, you still have to win 3 games against the other three.

Let's see how the rest of the season plays out for Latos before we start putting him up there with Sale and Q.

Latos will also come back down earth. Hopefully Rodon will improve to offset that

 

Back end of the bullpen could also potentially be Fulmer/Nate/Albers/Robo in some order later in the season if we're in the race still which would be nas-tee.

[bmags]

Rodon is going to continue to improve. He's got a great defense behind him now, he'll learn to trust to pitch to contact.

 

Feels so amazing to be 10 over after April. I remember how excited I was when we hit that mark in 2012 in July. Felt like we had finally turned the corner from the 09-11 years.

 

We did it right away, which has boded well for us in past (2000,2005, 2006 )

You can say that again.

Fun note:

 

After McCutchen hit a homer off Jason Hammel, the only starting pitcher to not give up a homer this season is Jose Quintana.

Fun Note:

 

I put this in another thread but I'll repeat it. Sale is the only lefty to start May 6-0 since Randy Johnson in 2002 when he went 24-5 and won his last Cy Young at the age of 38.

[Texsox]

These are fun notes.

 

I'm cautiously excited at this point.

[TheChrisSamsa]

Let's see how the rest of the season plays out for Latos before we start putting him up there with Sale and Q.

 

If you remove the anomaly that was 2015, Latos is 56-40 with a 3.27 ERA for his career. I don't think he'll go undefeated, but we can have some confidence that he'll put up a good year.
