Good pitch selection by aj there, now throw the splitty.

Uh oh.

Jose gives him a count.

Johnson walks, here comes swisher.

Kielty gets an extra swing but Jose pitches over it, great job.

Gotta love the foul territory here.

Damn you Chavez.

There was that nastly split hawk talked about at the beginning of the game.

1-2-3 for Count. Couldn't have asked for a better first inning.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) This game will hinge on Contreras, I know that is stating the obvious but a quality outing for him here, that would be huge. Give the pen another day off hopefully. That'd be nice, Shingo and Viz are most likely still unavailabe for today, so it'd be great to give the pen even more rest.

Kendall pops up to pauly, 1 down.

Twins are threatening, 1st and 2nd no out. Anywho, Jose do what you've done all season minus the 2 starts out of year last 3. Go get 'em Contreras.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) Meh, Harden just aced Dye but great job getting 2. Hell - 34 pitches that's f***ing fantastic. Answered my question before I even finished my post.

Alright, dye goes down. Great inning there, anyone know how many pitches Harden threw that inning??? It was obviously quite a few.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) GREAT JOB CARL!!!! GREAT JOB OZZIE SENDING THE RUNNER!!!! Ozzie didn't do much on that play.. Just raggin on ya.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.

I said yesterday that I've been very impressed the way Ozzie has handled the whole Carl and Frank situation, I've ragged on ozzie a bit this year for some of his moves but I think he's handled this situation tremendously. Watch aaron take off on this pitch.

Anyone notice pauly has opened his stance a bit the past few games, maybe so he can see the breaking ball from the righties a bit better??

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:13 PM) Maybe Dewon can find a role in the pen? I hope so, got a great arm but has just been a complete bust so far.

I'd love to see Aaron take off here as well. Keep putting pressure on Harden and Kendall.

That ball was hit pretty well ends up in an error. Productive first inning so far.

Just an fyi, the twins had 1st and 3rd with 1 out and brazelton rolled up a dp.

Gooch mashes it to swisher, scotty over to 3rd, 1 out. That a boy Tadahito.

Pitch out but no problem, sb 39.
