That was so embarrassing. Luckily I just switched over to Fox Sports Detroit and the Tigers are up 5-0 in the 7th. I can't critique the game at all though as I have been watching the Euro tournament games.

Robbie Alomar was special. But dat dude' BP is a wizard with the glove. Him and Beckham are the two best fielding 2B in baseball, imo.

Phillips is pretty solid, but Beckham? lolno. He's very average/below average according to advanced metrics.

Pedy is likely the best defensively when healthy, problem is he can get banged up a bit. Phillips is probably top 3.

EDIT: And now the Tigers are beginning to creep back towards the top of the division. Only 3 GB of Chicago after today. Interleague has really helped these guys out winning 3 straight series'. Hopefully they can keep it going this next series against the Cardinals. Luckily I get to see them on Thursday with their top pitching prospect Jacob Turner on the mound. Won't be his first MLB start of his career, but he likely will only make a start or two before Smyly comes back.

@PP: Flex is a Chisox homer so that's why he said Beckham. He seems pretty good to me, but I'm not sure about top 2B in all of MLB.

I don't know now. The Dodgers just keep winning these close games. lol thought Matt Kemp would pull his hamstring again going after Dee Gordon.

Anyway, LA/Chicago was a great series this weekend, all three games were 1 run games. I actually kinda like the White Sox, but listening to Vin Scully call the games, it's hard for me not to also kinda pull for LA.

You can't use metrics for everything...

Garrett Richards was awesome today, well deserve win. Props to Pujols and Trout.

If you wanna root against the Dodgers you have to do it while watching the opponents broadcast. Vin Scully may be God. I've seen no evidence saying he isn't.

Angels/Gaints series starts tonight, should be awesome. I read somewhere that this is the first game the Giants and Angels have played in Anaheim since October 2002, game seven of the world series.

It seems as if the Cardinals never have any good bullpen pitchers.
