if aj catches that it might be a K

I thought Javy was well above the 100 pitch mark. I'm actually surprised we didn't let him try to finish.

It seems like the Ozzie thing to do. But actually having it turn out to be the wrong decision seems to be the Ozzie thing lately.

huh? you dont play back and allow a team to just tie the game on a groundball.

 

With no outs, and when you're the home team, I'd play for keeping the game tied.

Why? What did he do?

 

Blew the save, apparently...

Ugh, If we lose this ones on Aram Jenks.

We had the lead

92mph GAS.

 

lol, what a joke.

It just seemed like the perfect time for Ozzie to let Javy get one for himself. Tex, you did say BA was going to be a hero. He might just have the chance.

How sad is that...a high fastball at 91 mph. He really has lost 5 to 6 mph on his fastball.

 

Doesn't he have a cutter now that he didn't use to have that should offset the velocity loss?

Ugh, even these offspeed pitches are loopy.

I'm not. When you have a Jenks and Linebrink in your pen, there's no need to push your starter back out there after 100 pitches.

 

And of course, we wouldn't even be in this situation if our offense could score more than two runs against the freaking Orioles.

 

This is why you don't sign him to a 5 year deal. At his rate of regression, he will have Zito velocity in 2010.

Yeah, they just aren't biting like usual.

Now the idea to bunt really f***ing blows.

What is the current situation here in the 9th? Tie Game, how many outs and whose on for the O's?

I still think they should trade him for a huge package if possible.

Like I said a couple of weeks ago: Bobby Jenks = fat Billy Koch. s***ty fastball, funny beard.

2 outs. full count. no one on.

yikes alot of guys hit that last pitch a really long way

none on 2 out

2 outs, empty bases

Inning over. Let's get one here.

Yeah, 'cuz when Swisher swung away, he really did well with it.

He could net a serious return. I bet the diamondbacks would give us some more of their surplus.

I can't believe we got Millar out on a 91 mph fastball on the inner half.

Thome, Konerko, Pierzynski, Quentin, Crede..........sounds like runs............haha
