Hopefully we wont get caught looking ahead to the Boston series coming up next.

 

 

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we win today, it will be a rejuvenating series victory, especially after losing the first game. And we got Russ Ortiz and his 7.3 ERA tonight, so things are looking up.

Man did Russ Ortiz get bad in like 2 years. Didnt he win 20 games a couple of times. Good lord. I hope we can rock him.

 

I also think that Javy is due to get back on track.

Go Vazquez! this looks to be a game where our offense will feast, but watch Ortiz pitch a gem, lol.

Whoa, they're pitching Ortiz? I didn't realize they actually signed him. I thought it was just speculation.

 

How did Ortiz pitch against us in that series last year?

How sweet it would be if Javy gets a good start going into the break.

That was the game where he was so bad he came down with Cliff Politte/Glendon Rusch/Mark Mulder disease and was DL'd for a significant period of time. I remember Uribe hitting a big 3 run HR off him and Frank going deep as well. He was absolutely horrid.

 

Yep, I just checked. His outing Vs the Sox last year was less than spectacular.

 

(L) 5.1 IP, 7 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 3 HR, 1 BB, 3 K

That looks like a Javier Vazquez line.

 

ZING!

 

Now go get 'em, Javy.

If nothing else Vaz is consistent. I think in his last 8 starts he's gone 6 innings ..give or take an out.

Wasn't he the pitcher when we scored 10 runs in an inning last year?

 

Two of the D-Backs starters from last year facing off tonight, but massively underachieving compared to their old standards.

As bad as Ortiz has been, he's 10-0 the last 3 years in July. I still think the Sox are going to hammer him tonight.

AJ, it's time to give us a treat for all of our collective effort in the last week. Hit 4 homers today, and we're even.

Javy, here's your chance to follow the leads of Jose and Jon.

 

 

 

Lets hope the offense can pound Ortiz, like they're suppose to.

That is incredibly misleading, he didn't even pitch in July last year. He was 10-0 in July as a Brave.

Victory expected.

How come of all 5 of our pitchers, Vasquez makes me feel the least comfortable..

 

At least he is 5-1 at home this year.

3,4,5,6 - All All-Stars.

That pitch was PERFECT!

Time for Vasquez to step it up.

All-Star #23 makes a great catch!

Alright chat heads. Lets get this chat going!!!

 

 

DO IT!!!!

Very nice for Javy. Cmon O, be patient against this guy and when you get your pitch just nail it.

Javy made some REAL good pitches on the first 3 guys, going in, in, in....something he needs to do, to be successful.

All-Star #12 is calling a good game, no?

 

Why would the O's trade for this guy? More walks than K's? A .330 OBA? Wow, what a joke!
