I wonder what Archer's fashion rule is. Red glove today with whites. Blue with dark blue jersey? Red with red jersey? I don't remember seeing him use a red glove. Just that light blue.......

[rwilfong86]

Nice hit followed by horrible base running.

“Can’t fault him for being aggressive.” - Morneau 

Yeah you can. That was dumb. 

[h2oface]

That was just very ill advised, Gio. 

[USAFChief]

Really poor baserunning. Nobody out.

1st to 2nd is slightly more acceptable, but making the first out at third.............?

[RickOShea]

A play like that can give the Bosox a momentum boost.

[h2oface]

Strike 3 on ball 4. Damn.

If Urshela takes his double, and the ump makes that right call, and it is bases loaded with one out.

Following up on the GT intro, I read that 21 years ago yesterday, Sarena Williams won a match at the U.S. Open, Albert Pujols hit a homer and Craig Biggio, Vladamir Guerrero and Dante Bichette all had hits. 

Yesterday, Williams won, Pujols homered and Bo Bichette, Vladamir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette all had hits.

Older than Archer. 

[RickOShea]

Archer coughs up at least 2 runs.

That's crazy!  If only Biggio would have gotten a hit instead of Bichette getting two!

[Vanimal46]

It’s that time to get Archer out of the game.

Rocco just never learns.

[Vanimal46]

Like clockwork. Archer rarely makes it through 5 without trouble. 

[SwainZag]

Surprised he let him pitch to Pham

[LA VIkes Fan]

Chris Archer - one of MLB's greatest 4 inning pitchers.  One of MLB's worst 4+ inning pitchers. 

[mrtwinsfan]

No one to blame Mr Archer. you r what you are

[USAFChief]

I've been over Archer for quite some time now.

[RickOShea]

Just nev er learns.  Rocco's trying to stretch

Yup, Archer usually goes through 3 innings well, then falls apart. He's a long reliever taking up a starting spot in our rotation, just wish we could see what he could do in 2-3 inning outings in case we do make it to the playoffs.

[Aggies7]

Amazing that archer just simply cannot stop turning into a pumpkin in the 5th. 

[CRF]

Archer loves to hit the 4th inning wall. Never fails.

Albert at 694, hope he can hit 700.  Having a good year , 

[RickOShea]

What is it going to take, for rocco to figure things out.  He can't be that ignorant.

[Aggies7]

Pitch com, the very definition of over complicating something that doesn’t need to be complicated

Archer has given up 2 or less runs in 16/22 starts.  I think Rocco knows about when he's done...it's not like he is just being hung out to dry out there.  Though, I would have pulled him before the Pham AB.

?????  any chance its a contract thing when he signed,   not performance related 

[USAFChief]

Everyday Eddie Thielbar. 

[Aggies7]

Well that blows
