Hawk talking about pitching and defense wins games. Unless you're the 2013 Marlins. Until last night Slowey had 1 total run of support in his 4 starts. Shit's crazy.

Anibal Sanchez has 17 K's through 8 innings.

[Bobbob1313]

That sounds like a lot.

it's a Tigers franchise record

Jonathan Sanchez was ejected in the first inning after hitting a batter. He had not been throwing at the batter and no warning had been issued. Supposedly, both benches were warned but the Cardinals pitchers have hit three batters since then and none of the pitchers were ejected. This is crazy.

The picture above is of Sun Sports Rays reporter Kelly Nash, who was in Boston this weekend working on a story for a future installment of "Inside the Rays." She was checking out Fenway Park during batting practice of Saturday's Astros-Red Sox game when someone crushed a home run that nearly nailed Nash.

FOX Sports Florida has the full story, in which Nash talks about how she was taking pictures of herself from atop the Green Monster and heard "heads up" a few times when she was doing so. And when she went back and looked at the pictures, she stumbled upon the amazing discovery.

"I laughed pretty hard when I saw such a surreal picture that I had no idea I took," she told FOX Sports Florida. "I thought, you have got to be kidding me, maybe there ARE really angels in the outfield. I actually brought the movie with me on the trip and had it in my bag at the game."

I will now brace for all the skeptics who will be screaming about how this picture and story are fake. Begin in 3, 2, 1 ...
