3.94 xFIP. Not great, but not terrible. You mean just for tonight? I'm seeing slightly higher - 4.11 - for the season coming into tonight. Fangraphs has it at 3.94 for the season prior to tonight's start. ADD: you're citing FIP, I'm citing xFIP.

ADD: you're citing FIP, I'm citing xFIP. Got it. Thanks. And I didn't realize until just now that Fangraphs gives FIP, xFIP, BABIP, etc. for a pitcher's game as the game is in progress. Just by habit, I tend to go to B-Ref for things. Fangraphs is probably better.

Ugh, I wish we could see something encouraging out of just one of Ben's big-money boys. Porcello just doesn't seem very good at this pitching thing they have him doing. Ben's? Or Lucchinos?

Mookie Betts is the Anti-Hanley in terms of Baseball IQ!

Great admiration from the Kansas City broadcasting team for Betts.

Mookie being a stud has seemed to be quite the x-factor for us.

That was a great inning of baseball for the Sox. Swihart beats out an easy 3-1 groundout to avoid an out, Betts makes a terrific play to manufacture a run, Hanley just throws his hands out to punch a broken bat single for another run ... a little luck, for sure, but just good baseball.

Betts now hitting .273/.324/.431 and on pace for something like a four-win season.

Porcello awful. Bailed out by shoddy KC base-running early in the game. Hits the lead-off hitter when given a 3 run lead. Setting up a big inning. Maybe, xFIP won't count these runs.

Way to have a shutdown inning, Rick. HBP to the leadoff guy and now a balk.

Porcello is unreal.
Just give it all back.

Does anyone actually understand balks?

The HBP was followed by two ground balls and a pretty nonsense balk call.

...and now a terrible, terrible defensive play from Sandoval, on which he apparently also hurt himself.

Bottom of the 5th is a perfect illustration on why we're a last place team.

It was, let me get out of the game and go on Instragram. What a bum.
