Yes, he has been. The Orioles have had good swings against him. He hasn't thrown a good changeup all game.

 

He should throw the change early in the count. And then use his sinker when he gets 2 strikes.

There's one real good pitch. Mora's actually a pretty big out in this game for Garland here.

Big strikeout right there for JG

He hasn't had a good change this year, but he's been successful without in this last stretch. I don't think he necessarily needs it to pitch well.

McCarthy's up in the pen. Ozzie isn't fooling around today.

Why is bmac up today when we have a 6 run lead. Why would we keep him ready for tomorrow when 5 inning Javy is pitching.

I hope he does this much more often. With the bullpen we have, we can afford to let the pen pitch 4-5 innings in some games.

Garland makes two of his best pitches that inning with 2 guys on. Great job Jon!

POSSABILITIES

As long as they have the pen ready tomorrow from the 5th inning on then I am okay with this. Javy third time around is a mess.

And when the pitcher sees a guy warming up, it might motivate them a little more. No pitcher wants to get pulled when his team has a big lead prior to the 6th inning.

Nice!

Brian got worked over there.

Ortiz actually located a nice breaking ball for strike 3.

Pods is good

Pods is the best leadoff hitter in the history of baseball

The home runs hit by Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzunski in the top of the 4th inning were back-to-back shots.

 

Thanks sportsline

Lets go Garland! Get out of this inning without a lot of damage.

I hear good things about this Pierzunski.

 

And back to the topic of commercials, but I love the Southwest commercial where the guy is locked out of his car. "Step back" then throwing the brick at the window cracks me up every time.

 

Leadoff single for Tejada, pitch around it JG

wish I could see this game, O's are racking up the hits on Garland. He must be leaving it up, and it seems like he's behind in the count a lot.

Ozzie should get McCarthy up in the pen again.

 

Terrible start to this inning. Garland's got to make some tough pitches again, or he's not finishing this inning.

 

10 hits allowed by Garland in 4+ innings.

Good God Garland, get your spiff together.

Garland needs to get ahead of hitters to be successful. If he gets behind constantly he will get hurt. He also needs to leave that change on hold when he gets to 0-2 or 1-2 on batters.

Farking Jon!

 

Strike this mofo out
