Great... Lose again. Not like you're facing division team in series with playoff implications!

Tanaka dominated...and the big thing is he gave the 'pen a rest so his performance today will affect the game tomorrow. Blue Jays looking tight the last two days...

Also where the hell was this offense 2 months ago...

That tends to happen when you have nothing to play for except pride.

I guess so. But the offense has erupted. 15 runs, 21 hits. Right now through 7 innings 19 runs and 21 hits.

Position player pitching alert!!! Jesus Sucre on the bump in Boston.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

My man Sucre pitching for the second time this season.

What a horrible two days. Just hoping the LAA loses again to KC so we'd still be back 6.5 games after two ugly losses.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

I'm also hoping LAA loses as well as BAL.

That's the Tanaka I remember. Had the ace stuff going today, best start of the year for sure. Love the fight in this team, these last few days have felt like the playoffs I've been nervous each game.

If you told someone that King Felix would get 7 runs of support you could probably take them to the cleaners betting against him...baseball is unreal sometimes.

How about 10 runs?

Matt Kemp hit for the first Cycle in Padres history with a 9th inning triple

Cycles are kinda cool, but I feel like the sports media kinda of overrates the achievement. They are more of a freak achievement than something on the level of a no-hitter or a 3 HR game, even if they are rarer (I'm assuming they are).

I felt that way when Sale gave up 7 earned runs in back to back starts, what is life?

I don't think they are rarer than either of those achievements. But yea the cycle is an overrated achievement.

If I told you the mariners scored 10 runs and had King Felix on the mound, and lost, would you believe me?
