Has an umpire ever thrown a pitcher out of the game for hitting himself (the umpire). That would be quite the seen.

Getting Blake would be huge. Would guarantee Javy another inning.

I love how Javier is pitching and dealing with adersity. But I hate that he is over 100 pitches in the 5th and that means we're going to see way too much of the bullpen.

Wow. 9 Ks

My Uncle (a catcher) pulled the "wooden Indian" trick during his high school days. His pitcher was getting squeezed, so he called for a high fastball.

He didn't move.

The umpire went down to the ground.

ROFLMAO!!!

All is ok though, Brian Anderson is leading the bottom of the 5th off for us! Incoming runs a plenty!

Javier's brinksmanship coming back up.

 

This is beyond brinkmanship, we need a new term to describe what Javy is doing tonight.

 

Yay, an out on only 4 pitches!! Javy really was economical there. In other news, my hair is turning gray and falling out and I have moved all nearby sharp objects.

 

Now Javy misses with a curveball, Peralta ducks, and the ball hit the umpire on the elbow, lol. Wow....and hey, a 5 pitch out to Peralta, 2 outs!! Here's Blake, who has stepped in twice, and has been hit twice. And Blake is retired on 5 pitches and a whiff!! A 14 pitch inning, Javy freaking mowed 'em down there.

 

Through 5 for Javy:

 

5 IP, 6 hits, 1 run (earned), 3 hit by pitch, 1 reach on error, 1 walk, 9 left on by Cleveland, 9 k's, 102 pitches.

 

And 2-1 Sox heading to the bottom of the 5th.

I could see Javy getting 2 more batters. Hopefully all 3 if he can retire the 1st 2 quickly.

Detroit is beating toronto. That sucks. We need toronto to kick their ass

and turn them back into Detroit of old.

AAANderson strikes out

What does Greg Walker get paid for?

screw the pitch count; all our stud starters need to go 7 innings.

Thoroughly shocked at that turn of events in Andersons AB!

Anderson can't get around on an inside fastball. He is jamming himself trying to shoot it to right every time.

Oh what's new. :headshake

What does Greg Walker get paid for?

Making 7 out of 9 hitters good?

This ump blows, he's not giving Javy that same call.

Pods and Iguchi have been putting up the backwards K quite frequently.

Man our offense can be painful to watch at times.

Do you think at this point Brian is the worst player in Sox history?

Hitting wise?

I sure hope Kenny is on Orbitz right now. I am so tired of seeing these at bats by Anderson. It's beyond apparent that he's can't cut it.

Problem is, Anderson ain't good at against lefties. If you're going to start him it should be against righties, but Machowiak is getting the majority of the starts there now.

I am not going to bash Brian Anderson... that gets old... but he needs to go back to AAA.

The guy has zero confidence at the plate. We need to decide what is going on in Center Field right now. Forget waiting around to see what will happen. The time to act is now.

When you say better against righties you mean he's still bad but slightly better.
