Who left the door open?  Haha.

Great avi, I love the batflip.

good speed aboard, 2-0 count on your 3 hitter, no outs

 

We fail to score

Nice Try/AB Paulie. THat should have driven in a run.

That was the perfect opportunity to blow this game wide open. At least PK is swinging better. Frank, on the other hand, looks like he's back to square 1 at the plate.

Wasted opportunity there.

Hard to ask for more from Paulie...the ball just didn't carry...he nailed it on 2 strikes and drove it to the wall.

 

Could use a little better performance from Frank, but happily other guys are picking him up right now.

It may have been a wasted opportunity, but JG is solid again today...should be better than he is but the home plate ump doesnt seem to know where the strike zone is!!!

Garland continues to play with fire. He's allowed more 2 strike hits today than he has in a long time.

shame the sox couldn't do something last at bat -- the tribe is starting to hit Jon

I contribute that to the ump who wont call a strike 3 for Jon today!!

I agree

Yep, he gonna get burned here soon. He just not sharp enough today to keep up the escape acts.

It's hard to expect a shutout from a guy every single game. Decent hitters will usually be able to grab a run or two against almost everyone just off of luck.

Looks like he is throwing too many pitches around the plate today, he needs to waste a few, especially w/ 2 strikes.

LAA 2

MIN 1

Top 5th

Jon is throwing fine he has 2 strikes on every hitter and 3-4 occassions got screwed out of a backward K

Agree. wholeheartily, though I might say 5 or 6 times.

What's happening is he's not getting the fastball called by the umpire, so he's going more with the change-up.

We've secretly replaced all the Cleveland hitters with Willie Harris. Leadoff double, and the guy never moves beyond 2nd base.

I think it's been 5 times by my count. The worst was by far to Perralta, in a big spot, but Garland K'd him on the next pitch.

Very, very nice Jon. Its a shame the you just aren't sharp today and are playing with fire so much. I'd rather have 5 straight 1-2-3 innings rather than just 5 scoreless. PICK IT UP

Is it my imagination or are we seeing a lot of that from umps this year. No consistency in how they call balls and strikes and when we get 2 strikes on ahitter the zone shrinks. Our guys are control picthers and when their zone gets pinched by an ump it hurts them more than a Randy Johnson type.

He actually is pretty sharp, he's getting ahead of hitters and just aceing hitters with 2 strikes on them and he's not getting the calls.

He is getting absolutely nothing called at the knees and the Perholta AB the ball was waste high, more over the plate than when he rang up Frank in the 3rd and he called a ball. 13+ wins and still no respect from this prick ump!!!

LOL We got these guys on a leash. We own them like people own their pets. This is just totally men against boys.

 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
