So, with a five-run lead, does Ozzie pull Jose?

Is Kazmir still in against Detroit? I sure hope so, because I don't trust a single reliever on that team.

No, he isn't.

His pitch count is still VERY low, so no. However the first sign of trouble, and I say get out the hook.

Yeah, I agree. He doesn't look tired, either. He was still hitting 95 last inning.

 

Jose

Leadoff single for Barajas, who seems to have Jose's number. Ok, take out Jose after the 8th or if Texas gets another man on.

Great game tonight for BA.......every AB he looked good.....watching pitches, staying calm......looks like some of the confidence is coming back....

 

 

Our prayers have finally been answered, ... for one day.

Wow, that was like a whiffle ball pitch. Make it 10 k's for el Titan del Bronze.

10 K's. Wow...

11

11 k's

they gawn

He's so awesome.

Jose

Count, dealin tonight.

Count in terms of raw stuff, looks the best he has all year tonight IMO. His lack of strikeouts has shown to me that has stuff wasn't there (and is a credit to how well he's pitched without striking out a ton of people), but tonight he has all the pitches working.

 

And Jose has got through 8, allowing 3 runs, 6 hits, zero walks, 11 k's (career high) and throwing 108 pitches (75 for strikes, damn).

wow, when they put that stat up about Jose .695 lifetime winning percentage......just makes me want to hug Estaban Loaiza for having a career year in '03....

This game has been easy to feel good about. I like it.

Yep, I thought that 21 win season had died in vain when we failed to make the playoffs and he didn't win the Cy. Boy I could not have been any more wrong.

 

The one problem tonight? Jose's ERA will skyrocket from 2.54 to 2.62.

And funny enough it's his third worst start of the year results wise, though against one of the better offensive teams in one of the better offensive parks.

... and not to mention George Steinbrenner for being an impatient boob.

hahaha thats funny

i envy JC! the way he dealt with adversity & the way he deals with success is of leadership quality to say the least. we are very fortunate to have witnessed this man!

neal with a haircut

Well, I'm not 100% sure JOse would be the pitcher he is today if he were still in NY. As we know now a lot of it was just being in a bad situation in NY. He needed to get out of there. His stuff was always awesome, but he had to find a spot where he was comfortable.

That was one hell of a game. I feel great.
