The way he's pitching he could pitch a complete game with 115 pitches, but I agree. Maybe give him one batter then pull him. Let the fans give the ovation he deserves.

 

That's what I was going to say too. Let him start the inning.

Putz warming up.

As is Thornton according to Farmer.

Putz has the 8th and Thornton the 9th I'm guessing.

 

Or maybe they should pitch together since they're such great bros.

Lewis mowed through the middle of our line up.

They put that Putz in the game!

Putz makes short work of Grudz on a slider.

Might as well get Santos and Linebrink out there.

 

No. Way. In. Hell!

Geez, Grudzelanek (sp) is still in baseball? Finishing his career with KC, then the woeful Indians. Wow. Beats working for a living.

He should be their closer. He closed for them in 08 when Borowski sucked and got released.

Putz is the guy who could make this one of the best pens around.

Was that a splitter he threw to Grudz or was that a slider?

He turns 40 this year. Not a bad little career he ended up having.

Nice to see Putz going after the hitters.

 

Putz seems to be sitting at 93-94.

It still doesn't look like the control is all there for JJ.

Would be nice to shut these guys out.

Great opener so far, White Sox. Impressive.

The tail on Putzs' fastball is very encouraging. When his arm rounds into shape, i imagine it'll be even better.

Nice inning for JJ.

Be nice for Rios to get a hit before the day's up.

Very encouraging opener.

Andruw Jones pinch-hitting.

Andruw!!

Now Ozzie puts Andruw in.

 

Hawk loves Kotsay so much that he gave Mark an imaginary hit.
