God I love Neal. Aquire another BP arm or call up BAJ and Jenks so we can start Neal.

 

That's such a bad idea.

thomas is gettin a double or a homerun

YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.

 

He was trying to get a win for McCarthy.

 

That should be secondary to winning the freakin game.

True. I can see what he is trying to do though. He is trying to make him part of the team. Yes this game is important but a conf pitcher is better in a long season.

he's gonna have to take one for the team tomorrow.

so are you predicting Garland is gonna get torched tomorrow?

Leadoff single by Iguchi on an 0-2 count.

Excellent observation.  And I agree, the bullpen is miscast.  They have no long man and it's getting increasingly harder to carry both Vizcaino and Shingo.  Something has to give.

they are hesitant to do anything with shingo because they are getting japanese ad revenue and publicity.

Thats 2 games  Viz  f***ed up for bmac.. Not that mac deserved the win today  but still, the lead was there.....

Bmac wouldn't have won anyways he didn't pitch 5

okay steal iguchi, buck hasnt impressed me in his ability to throw runners out

they are hesitant to do anything with shingo because they are getting japanese ad revenue and publicity.

 

Bingo.

were hitting them too good to lose this game.. if the pitching settles down, its ours

Excellent observation.  And I agree, the bullpen is miscast.  They have no long man and it's getting increasingly harder to carry both Vizcaino and Shingo.  Something has to give.

Yup, I agree. We just can't go with 4 relievers anymore and honestly it's useless to have Shingo up since he never pitches anymore. Viz has just been bad as well, I really want to see Baj get a shot and then also if Jenks can continue to dominate in Charlotte, maybe him as well.

Gooch is a 2 strike hitting machine

I don't understand all of this Ozzie loves Viz stuff. He has hardly pitched at all since he has started sucking in important situations. But in the fith freaking inning, you have to dig down deep in your bullpen. I wish it would have been Shingo tho. His confidence has to be gone by now.

 

Most rational statement made all night.

so are you predicting Garland is gonna get torched tomorrow?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

just saying it's a possibility. but he's gonna have to go deep into the game reguardless.

Hanger there. Frank actually missed a pitch.

thomas is gettin a double or a homerun

Double Jinx!

9-7 Red Sox over the Indians in the 8th inning. I guess the Indians scored some runs.

 

Make that 9-8.

frank tryin to go the right center. good idea

Pop out. 1 down.

Frank flies out to Center.

alright kong, lets make it two dingers

bottom of the first seems SOOOOOOOOOOOOO long ago

Lets go Paul, think right center, don't wanna roll over anything.

One great AB for hurt, 3 pretty poor ABs for hurt, against pretty crappy pitching. That's a good ratio, but it looks likes its going to be all, a walk, or nothing for Hurt the rest of his career.
