Ervin Santana's day yesterday seems good based on the box score.

Hard to believe he's already in his mid 30s, seems like yesterday he was in his early/mid 20s.

Yep!

Here's another one... K-Rod for the save today in Tigers win.

[Broad Street]

Piscotty just got hit in the right elbow by Arrietta, then got nailed in the left elbow taking second, and then got domed by Baez while scoring. That's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen this year.

[Blarg]

You get the feeling they don't like him.

13 years he's been in the league...  Not bad for a guy some wrote off after his elbow issues early on.
