Where's the LoCain love? Dude has been clutch this year. Need him to stay healthy all year. Right now, he is arguably an all-star. Leads the team in average and clutch hits.

I think there is plenty of LoCain love. Dude has been money all year. I thought his steal in the bottom of the 10 was pretty ballsy.

Hoch did keep us within striking distance

yeah you can't really call Hoch's outing tonight a "no pressure" situation

of course, when we get down by 1 run in the 3rd inning half of the regular Royals posters think the game is over

What an amazing win! I am officially in love with this team.

We're going through the meat of our schedule (well not the Sux, but you know what I mean) and they're burning their Houston games.

I am absolutely convinced that we will be there to the end. Now let's sweep them out tomorrow. Time for Big James' revenge against Sale.

I called it low pressure. We were trailing by multiple runs late in the game. If he'd have given up a couple of runs, and we had lost 7-4, nobody would have been talking about Hochevar.

we were down 2, right?

either way...each and every outing he's gaining more and more trust from the manager

I think they'll throw him into the fire real soon and see how he reacts

bumping this. Intentionally walking Getz was a key moment of the game.

It's good to be on the other end of those type of mistakes.

I haven't watched my Sox much because the hitting is terrible. They suck beyond belief. But Robin intentionally walking Getz is a fireable offense.

Detroit's 4 game series in Houston is over. Time to retake 1st place.

I had to to leave when they went to the pen. I later checked the score and suddenly it was 5-3 Sox. Wha' happen?

Collins decided to give up the lead.

Yes. We were down two in the eighth inning. Yost didn't bring him in to clean up the mess in the seventh. He game him a clean inning in a game that was assumed to be lost 80% of the time...at home...in front of a tiny crowd. It was low pressure.

When Yost brings him into a game with runners on first and second with one out and the game tied in the eighth at Detroit, or something similar, I'll believe they have faith in Hochevar. (AndI will have lost faith in Yost if they do that. There's just no upside when our pen is this stacked.)

I recognize the fact that yesterday wasn't mop up time, but it was still low pressure.
