That's a very funny post. Way to be creative! And no, I'm not being sarcatic.

Yes! I wouldn't mind seeing McCarthy start the inning. Garland hasn't had much today, but he made some big pitches when he had to.

Biggest batter of the game for Garland here.

Ozzie should get McCarthy up in the pen again. Terrible start to this inning. Garland's got to make some tough pitches again, or he's not finishing this inning. 10 hits allowed by Garland in 4+ innings.

Lets go Garland! Get out of this inning without a lot of damage.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) I hope he does this much more often. With the bullpen we have, we can afford to let the pen pitch 4-5 innings in some games. And when the pitcher sees a guy warming up, it might motivate them a little more. No pitcher wants to get pulled when his team has a big lead prior to the 6th inning.

Garland makes two of his best pitches that inning with 2 guys on. Great job Jon!

McCarthy's up in the pen. Ozzie isn't fooling around today.

There's one real good pitch. Mora's actually a pretty big out in this game for Garland here.

Garland needs to make some good pitchers here, or this game is going to get close again.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) is he pitching inside at all? Yes, he has been. The Orioles have had good swings against him. He hasn't thrown a good changeup all game.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) can someone summarize how bad garland has looked for me He's not fooling anyone.

Check out the new thread on the board. The one about Anderson/Ortiz. It's amazing, simply amazing. Ortiz is a good hitter. They should use him as a righty off of the bench.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) LOL @ Ortiz. Didnt we almost trade for him? Yes, it was close. Gammons thought it was a done deal. Thankfully, Damian Moss was offered, and two terrible pitchers were exchanged.

8 straight batters have reached against Ortiz, and 12 of the last 14 guys he's faced have reached.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) Yes I think so ... the guy they picked high and didn't sign. Townsend, right? I think so, if it's not, I'll let you know.

Dye welcomes Ortiz. Nice to get that run back.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) Wow, Russ Ortiz is worse than Cliff Politte. Ahaha. I thought you were leaving?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) No then it wasn't him. There was some guy they screwed up on, can't say his name. And there is the Gold Glove defense from Gload you were asking about. Was it one of those Rice pitchers? Maybe Townsend?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) I love what Jermaine Dye has been doing with the bat... but man whenevr I watch he looks sooo slow in the OF. I know he has had a lot of injuries but he still looks fast or above avg. on the base paths.... I feel guilty complaining about it (probably sounds funny coming from me), but Dye's defense is real bad. He has no range out there, and his arm has been very disappointing since he's been with the Sox. Something that's been hurting him recently is he's not charging the ball well at all. It's making it very easy for teams to run at will on him.

Mercy...great play by Gload. Garland saved by his defense that inning.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) Notice Jon is going in on right handers. This is what he did last year in the first half to make him so successful. Pound them in, back them up, and let the sinker run. And he left that pitch over the heart of the plate.

Take off the concrete shoes Jermaine.

Jim...another excellent observation by Hawk today.
