Remember when PK (I'm pretty sure it was him) got hit in the junk with the bases loaded to score the winning run a few years ago and he said something like, "I always said I'd give my left nut to help this team win."
So, in Ozzie's eyes, is Thornton now the lefty setup man? He seems to get more opportunities in the late innings than Cotts recently. That could just be my perception, though.

except for coffee(or however u spell it) hes been pretty good.
>this is a perfect example of how k's are a bit overrated. contreras has like 10 or something and yet hes given up 5 runs.
I'll take the 4-K Contreras that gives up a maximum of 3 runs over the 10+ K Contreras any day.

It would be a shame if one bad inning snaps his streak.
Having Hawk and DJ yapping about it constantly today has made me feel like they're jinxing the s*** out of it.
Contreras looked great again that inning. Our rotation has a disease that forces each starter to have at least one bad inning a game.
Let's get some f***ing runs!
