the perfect way to end an 11 inning game

this was a great performance tonight

we just went out there and undercompeted the tigers. considering they're a better team than us, they may have out-underachieved us tonight. but i don't put much stock in those new-fangled stats. all that matters is the L.

After watching Heath Phillips pitch...

I think I can make the White Sox. That guy throws pathetic junk.

honestly

I see our only competition for Alvarez as Baltimore; and here is why:

Tampa Bay has Evan Longoria looking to break into the hot corner out of ST next year, with Akinori Iwamura moving to an MI spot, possibly SS hes got an amazing glove and above average arm at 3B, he could be average to slightly above at SS.

Florida still has Miguel and if they ever get a new stadium they'll lock him up long term to play 3B so long as he doesn't eat him self out of it, he should be a fixture there for the foreseeable future. If not they just drafted Matt Dominguez incase they can't keep Miguel or he needs to be moved to 1B/LF.

Pittsburgh has Neil Walker who since being moved from behind the dish has gotten better and has been able to focus more on his bat and should be ready for the pirates in the next year and a half.

That brings us to Baltimore they've got Bill Rowell who is still a bit away but has alot of promise, in the interm they've got mora and huff at 3B, so they strike me as the only team that would pick him ahead of us seeing how their FO is horrible. They've taken two catchers over the past three years in Brandon Snyder & Matt Wieters.
