    This could possibly end up being the longest game thread ever. Into the 3rd page & the game hasn't even started yet.

    Now THAT'S! the way to start a game. A 2-run double by Headley followed by a 3-run bomb from Gregorius.

    Rick says it best about Tanaka. This is not longer the guy who first came here nor is he what was expected when signed. It's becoming quite obvious to me that due to the elbow there will never be that start to start consistency.

    Ellsbury just saved Tanaka's ass with a great catch in deep center. That would've been a 5-4 game after a rough first. Now 5-2. Hopefully Tanaka settles in because that inning was terrible after being given a 5-0 first inning lead.

    Could be a long night, and Toronto is up on Detroit 3-1. No help from Motown.

    4-1 now as Donaldson continues his MVP push. He's just killing it in that lineup.

    predicted the yanks would blow it open in the 1st, also predicted they would give up some of the lead in botttom half.

    this team goes as far as tanaka takes them, how do you come on to the scene as an unhittable pitcher and in just 4 months in bigs look like an average pitcher?

    The tear in his elbow even though they will deny it until the cows come home.

    that just goes against every rule in the books when it comes to these million dollar arms, there isn't a single player on any team that had a disclosed injury, that would come back and take this risk, there has to be something more

    He's a tough guy....still hanging in there.
    Since July he's gone at least 6 IP in every start including a couple of at least 7 IP.

    Honestly I don't know, you'd have to ask Vic (Messiah), he's the MOD on this board, I'm sure he would know.

    And yeah Vic you're right, in Tanaka's first 14 starts he was 11-1 with a 1.99 ERA & 113 strike outs in 99 innings before he got hurt. This is DEFINITELY not the same pitcher.
