No question ... it's an old fashion ass whoopin' today.

Word is Kate Upton visited the Tribe clubhouse this morning and showed the team her tits and begged them to take it easy on her sissy boy. They took a bunch of selfies with her cans and clearly ignored her request.

If she visited the tribe's clubhouse today, their knees would be as wobbly as Verlanders.

Watch. Tiger starter only goes 4, but gives up 9 runs. NOW, the Tiger bullpen will shut the Indians down for the rest of the game.

I rarely even look at minor league numbers other than walk rate for pitchers, because the quality of hitters is night and day. If they are wild in the minors though -- it isn't getting any better once you face MLB hitters.

IMO, I think Boyd is going to be a quality pitcher. His command of his off speed pitches keeps hitters off balance. I'm not saying he is going to be an ace. Just that he will be a guy who will have a sub 4.00 ERA and win his share of games.

I don't see that with Norris. He is too erratic. But when he is on-- he has three plus pitches. You never know what you will get though.

I look at the k to w ratio in the minors, that's it, the same works for hitters too. You can look at any successful major leaguer's minor numbers and unsuccessful ones and it starts to make sense. Always a few exceptions for the rule but pretty consistant overall. 3-1 or higher for pitchers and 2.5 or lower for hitters.

Watch Gallo shit a brick, too many k's against minor league pitching.
