Austin is laughing off the sophomore slump, he's fun to watch this year.

Austin's a junior now.

[MC24]

Miggy! Thanks

[hail2mich]

There you go Miguel. Tied back up

[T&P_Fan]

Cabby is so good. 2 outs and gets the runner in with a base hit.

[thefunk]

Miguel is clutch.

Also, his left ear was folded over in his helmet. Looked uncomfortable.

[The Truman Show]

Good adjustment by Miggy. It's really not difficult to hit a guy who just chucks 88 mph ******** on the outer third all day, but you have to plan for it first.

[Greenwit]

I feel a long fly.

[MC24]

Hit the weights Prince...

[Greenwit]

I feel like bedtime..... Punch red button....

[thefunk]

Austin's a junior now.

keyword - OFF.

[MC24]

Bad Rick tonight

[thefunk]

PIss. Rick needs to settle down quick.

[T&P_Fan]

Porcello with another meatball.

[T&P_Fan]

Porcello is awful. He makes no adjustments.

[MC24]

So much for consistent play outta Porcello

[The Truman Show]

Yeah Porcello's stuff is second rate tonight. He's chucking AAA fastballs right now.

[MC24]

He is letting the A's beat him up...get outta here. Warm Below up

[UncleTy]

Porcello sucks.

[T&P_Fan]

Double for Seth Smith now. Get Porcello out of there. Month and a half into the season and Porcello has an ERA of 5.59.

The guy gets worse every year.

[waffel]

He is letting the A's beat him up...get outta here. Warm Below up

He can go at least 2 more innings. No reason to blow up the bullpen on a Friday.

[UncleTy]

The A's are a weak hitting bunch of castoffs. Way to go Rick.

[The Truman Show]

Just have Below start the 4th. There's no "adjustment" to be made, Porcello has nothing tonight. Just cut your losses.

[MC24]

He can go at least 2 more innings. No reason to blow up the bullpen on a Friday.

We have Fister and JV going Saturday-Sunday. Not worried about "blowing" the pen up. Porcello doesn't have it, simple as that.

keyword - OFF.

But I didn't know if you meant he's laughing it off as a sophomore this year or when. To me, it seemed like you meant this was his sophomore(or second) year.

As I see it, this would be worst performance from a starter since Scherzer against the Yanks. The offense owes him one.

[T&P_Fan]

No one owes a pitcher with an era north of 5.50. No way, no how.

[MC24]

Cabrera took Jhonny's ball lol

[kdog]

No one owes a pitcher with an era north of 5.50. No way, no how.

Porcello's ERA aside from tonight is probably artificially high because of slow footed infield defense. Because his XFip is much better than that.

[ToledoTigerFan]

SALLY WANT A RALLY NOW!!!!!!!

[MC24]

Young continues to bat 5th....for whatever reason

[MC24]

SALLY WANT A RALLY NOW!!!!!!!

Not gonna happen this half inning when there is 2 auto outs in Young and Raburn

[ToledoTigerFan]

C'mon Ray Born.

[Antrat]

Tigers will win this game. Tommy "two fingers" Charmanpozzi told me the fix was in.

[CapitalTigers]

That was a nice play. Defense is important.

[tigersrok]

No one owes a pitcher with an era north of 5.50. No way, no how.

Porcello has pitched better than his ERA indicates. His ERA is a product of putting an infield defense with horrible range behind a groundball pitcher.

[catswithbats]

There's an awful lot of gnashing of teeth tonight over Porcello.

[CapitalTigers]

Peralta much more career like for him minus the power.

[MC24]

Someone please explain to me why Young and Raburn bat ahead of Peralta...Leyland supporters?
