2014 Game 38: Red Sox at Twins
Today's "I don't want this pitching matchup to exist" pitching matchup is Felix Doubront vs. Kevin Correia. At the near-quarter mark of the season, the Sawks are 19-19 and the Twins are 18-19, still treading water with the rest while the Tigers sit well in front as expected.
You know, this team may not have me "excited," but it's nice to be playing .500 ball for a while. If we can get it for another month or two leading into the ASG, I think I'd be fairly satisfied.
