SoxFan562004 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (CSF @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) Ozzie said during the postgame press conf that they would have a party to celebrate the 2 runenrs caught stealing. lol, I was shocked both times, especially since they were no doubters. Well, AJ doesn't have the greatest arm, but the pitchers often give him zero chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Percentage of perfect innings of work in save situations this season among AL saves leaders: Joe Nathan: 15/27 = 56% Mo Rivera: 15/28 = 54% Brian Fuentes: 14/32 = 44% Bobby Jenks: 10/25 = 40% George Sherrill: 8/23 = 35% David Aardsma: 8/24 = 33% Jon Papelbon: 8/26 = 31% Fernando Rodney: 6/20 = 30% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Twins led the A's 12-2 in the 2nd inning. Then it became 13-7 in the 7th. It's now 14-13 Oakland. They put a 7 spot highlighted by a Holliday slam. Minny's pen = EPIC FAIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:15 AM) Carlos Torres start was pushed back a day. I'm thinking we might see him make a start if Richard struggles (with Richard or Poreda headed back to Charlotte temporarily to make roster space for Colon's short start). No reason to push it back regardless of what Richards does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love me some Jenks, but I still have a difficult time putting him in the same tier as those three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (Baines3 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:17 AM) Bobby will have us shaking in the 9th but he usually gets the job done. Nice win. It is always good to win, but this stuff from Jenks doing his best to blow games lately is not fun. He needs to figure out what's going on here because this will catch up to him and the Sox soon enough. When the team pulls it out and wins it is easy to forgive, but play with fire and you will get burnt eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love me some Jenks, but I still have a difficult time putting him in the same tier as those three. That's because he's not as good as them. Nathan and Rivera are in a stratosphere all their own. Mariano Rivera has walked 10 batters over his last 115 IP. He's become Dennis Eckersley only, older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Bobby made it interesting, but glad they got this one, cause tomorrow just seems like an automatic L with Clayton still on the mound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) This is game 1 of a 17 game stretch that will be key in how we are looking heading into the final 7 weeks in the season. One down, 16 more to go, and if we can go 11-6 over this period I think we win this division. There's like a 10-game road trip in late August/early September that consists solely of Boston, New York, and Minnesota. I'm not going to look that far ahead, but if the division race stays close, that trip could make or break this team. They've also been pretty damn good on the road this season, even winning a game against Minnesota. I also believe that series includes our final game at the Metrodome, barring another 1-game playoff.

chw42 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Bobby looked so good to Pena and Zobrist. Then he reverted to really bad Bobby. He had a lot of guts to throw a ball out of the zone on 3-2 to Bartlett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
