Honestly, if Jon is coming out I'd like to see Matt or Neal pitch the 7th. I don't want Bmac pitching 2 innings everytime he comes in, and if he comes out there for the 7th, I bet he'll be out there for the 8th as well.

He has only made a couple of bad pitches. 3 Ks. No walks. High outside changeup to Teahen. And a meatball smoked by Grudz. What's so bad about that? I didn't say he was "back to form" or anything but he looks good tonight.

 

He has not made only a couple of bad pitches. He is clearly not hitting his spots. Watch where Widger has been setting up and watch where those pitches have been missing. You also tend to miss up when you miss outside and he's been doing exactly that--case in point: Teahen's HR.

 

He looks better. I just can't make the jump to "really good."

I'm pretty sure Boone Logan could go two innings every night. I mean, really, he's a legend.

I think Widger is taking his soft ball swings again. If Jim Parque was pitching, he have a couple of homers.

Indeed, the last thing we need is for him to be overworked. He's not Scot Shields yet.

Well, the only way Bmac is coming in during the 7th is if Jon gets rocked, so I hope we don't see him either.

duh

Crap, Garland is still in.

I'm glad to see Jon stay out there one more.

Very good pitch by Garland.

Crap, Garland is still in.

 

Why would he be out? He's given up 5 hits (only 3 hit hard) and 0 walks in 6 IP. Who in their right mind would take a pitcher out with a pitch count of 75 in that situation?

And the last person to make such a move would be Ozzie, in all honesty.

Definitely. But nobody in the bigs would make that move.

He looked pretty good in those other starts where he imploded after x innings. I admit that I haven't seen all of today's game (hell, I *still* don't know how the Sox scored), but I don't have any faith in Garland.

Not watching the game but why are people worried about Garland. His pitch count is still pretty low and his line looks good. Is he getting hit hard or something like that? Just curious.

Muscles a single into right. 1 on - 1 out

Blooped to death.

Here comes BMAC

This is a situation where Berroa has hurt us in the past. And it looks like McCarthy is coming in.

well, Garland is out

 

McCarthy in... just started watching he game so don't know if he was struggling (the numbers don't show that he was)

Nice to see BMac coming in

He's not hitting his spots, Jabroni. He is not comfortable going inside and when he stays outside, he's missing up--not a good place to miss.

 

But, make no mistake about it, it was a much better Jon Garland we saw tonight. His line is going to look awfully good, but, I wonder what it would have read had this not been against a Royals' lineup.
