Another potential 3rd strike not called.

That pitch was a strike earlier this inning, let alone this game.

 

102 pitches for Jon...probably his last inning here...Neal's standing it up.

Hafner will be ok...

 

Head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said Hafner sustained a mild concussion, which kept him out of the starting lineup Sunday. Hafner had no broken bones and didn't lose any teeth, though he had lacerations inside his upper lip.

No, that pitch has been a strike all game, unless there's been 2 strikes. This ump is a f***ing coward, he's scared of calling the 3rd strike.

That should be it for Garland. Way to overcome the terrible umpire Jon!

Nice job by Garland today

Outside of the Oakland game, this is Jons best effort this yr, hes had to overcome a lot of baserunners and especially the home plate dumbass back there

6 innings of shutout ball for Big Jon...quality start, 0 runs, hard to ask for more from a guy.

 

Let's finish this off and get him #14...and win #30 against the central.

We're going to be seeing a lot more of Ozuna at SS, I have a feeling.

Is Crede trying out for the Blues Brothers? With those new chops, and those sunglasses, he looks like the next Blues Brother...

That was an unnessecary slide if I've ever seen one.

Who's our righty set-up man tonight? With Hermanson likely unavailable, will Ozzie save Politte for the 9th? I think we'll see Cotts in the 7th, and then have Cliff/Marte hopefully finish off the 8/9th.

He's doing his magglio impression

The biggest difference in Garland is his ability to battle out of jams.

He now trusts his stuff, doesn't get down on himself and just keeps pitching.

Maybe he has finally grown up as well.

With a 4 run lead, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of both Viz and/or Jenks.

 

Why is Hermanson unavailable? What'd I miss? He didn't pitch yesterday. Family stuff?

Not to mention Blake circled that ball like it was going to end up landing on the track. Wasn't exactly an efficient route he took to the ball.

Someone said that Ozzie mentioned on the pregame show that Hermanson's back is bothering him again. I don't think we'll see Jenks or Viz in any 4 run games anytime soon.

Did you mean to say 3rd?

Did you mean to say 3rd?

 

Nope. Right now, Ozuna is just producing so much more at the plate than Uribe. I know Uribe is swinging the bat better, but he's still just not producing at the plate.

That was a good outing by JG. 6.0 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, and 2 K's.

Good catch by AJP. Sandy Alomar Jr. would have gone crashing into the fence on a play like that.

Is it me, or has Cotts velocity decreased? I've seen one pitch at 88mph, but most of the other pitches seem a little lower? However, I'd rather see him throw strikes at 86 mph than throw balls at 90 mph.

Well, good job by Cotts throwing strikes. Indians sure are hitting a lot of lazy pop-ups.

The radar gun is off by two miles at least... garland can hit 94 and he was at 90-91 all day... and that was his fast fastball today.

Nice quick inning by Cotts.
