shannon singles... ugh

Bartlett pops up

mauer giving jose his money's worth... ugh 9 pitches so far

Mauer walks.

 

It's gonna be a long night.

At least Jose looks like he is throwing really hard, but his splitter isn't being commanded so far

Ye have little faith.

Contreras is overthrowing all of his pitches. Lecroy had two great pitches to hit, but took both.

jose's just a headcase who has prolly psyched himself out too much for tonight, but i'm still hoping

NO MORE GOD DAMN WALKS JOSE

Jose C walks Lecroy after an 0-2 count.

lecroy walks... jose in a helluva jam

Contreras is trying to be too perfect.

 

Just let them get some contact and let your defense do some work Jose.

Our 7 million dollar a year pitcher is just as much of a threat to not get out of the first inning as he is to get into the 7th inning. I would have liked to have had the rotation set so that Contreras faced the Mariners yesterday, and Garcia face the Twins today.

Torii will make us pay, like usual

Contreras is trying to be too perfect.

 

i'm tellin ya hes a headcase... talent or not its hard to work with someone like that...

 

on a good note... Torii Hunter's up!

Why do you say he's a head case, just out of curiousity?

Hopefully against Lohse we'll be able to get on track offensively.

32 pitches already, not looking good.

Good quick inning for Count I see. NOT!

Nice Job Jose,

Huge Momentum boost for Jose, look for him to settle down and us to get on a roll

Nice TURN BOYS!

 

Now get some runs!

its been stated by ozzie and coop that he thinks too much and tries to do too much. like you said yourself he tries to be too perfect. He's sort of like Garland is/used to be. He gets himself psyched up too much... he just needs to throw the ball and let AJ do the calling and not think too hard

DOUBLE PLAY! inning over.

 

gotta gives props Count. Didnt think he'd get outta that jam

Huge play! Very nice turn by Crede and Tad.
