And here's another reason why Matt Thornton is not a closer.

 

Gavin Floyd (6.29 ERA) and Bartolo Colon thank you for your efforts.

 

He's great when there's no pressure or nobody on base...but those situations make me more nervous than when Jenks is in there in the 9th or a tie game.

Squeezing our pitchers

Coop was complaining when he pulled Floyd. Has the zone been tight for both teams?

 

floyd was all over the place, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight with his fastball

coop had no reason to b**** to the HP ump

3 Ks that inning but 2 runs come across

Still have the lead thankfully.

And here's another reason why Matt Thornton is not a closer.

 

Didn't realize it was a save situation

We still have the lead

hahahahahahahahah

 

nice pitching, we're gonna get buried in this division, then Kenny Williams will have all the egg on his face that he could ever imagine

 

Or he strikes out Dejesus...geez let's not overblow every game.

 

The real bullpen guys will blow a game one of these days.

I still think Mr BLUE is squeezing our hurlers

Can someone help me out on why Matt couldnt just throw some hot heat to aviles and coco instead of being soo chippy with the corners?????

Time for Mahay, Farnsworth (probably not) or Juan Cruz.

We looking at two for Dotel tonight, or is Brinkey okay to go?

Sometimes it does appear they try and be to cute

Because MLB hitters can hit a 95 mph fastball over the plate, especially when they don't have to look for anything else. Callapso turned around Thornton's fastball, and they immediately changed location and tried to paint the outside corner.

Why wouldn't he be ok?

no, i'm not upset with matt, it's gavin phillyfloyd that i'm pissed off about, he's garbage this year

DeJesus drops a deep fly ball. Time to get another run in.

I think it is predictable and scouts know it.

 

Dejesus botches what would have been a really nice play.

Luv that AJP going opposite field

The 1-0 swing by Lexi was embarassing he is lost in this AB which will then not end well.

alexi just make contact and watch for curve

Just bunt the damn thing Alexei. Even if you don't get the sign you're still allowed to bunt.

if you're not going to ask guys like Thome, Konerko, Dye to bunt, don't ask alexei to do it either

 

his mindset is along the same as theirs, power power power

If anyone was ever going to break their shoulder on a swing, it was on that hack.

OZZIE. KEEP THIS SAME LINEUP FOR THE NEXT THREE GAMES. MAYBE CONSISTENCY WILL HELP THIS OFFENSE.
