Damn. Would have been nice to see EJax have a 0 walk outing.....

Why you bring him out after 35 minutes sitting on the bench I have no idea.

Ya, that was pointless, oh well get it done

Especially with as long as this top of the 8th has lasted, it's time for the bullpen to take over.

Yeah, I think the long inning should have been the deciding factor.

What did that prove, Ozzie?

With a four-run lead, our bullpen, and EdWIN's pitch count, to my way of thinking, you absolutely give him at least one batter to continue along. He walked Cabrera, and Ozzie came and got him right away. I have no problem with rewarding Jackson with the start of the inning under those circumstances.

I agree, but that half inning was just too long...

Sweet, 7 straight pitches not even close.

That.

Umm.....what's going on here? Don't ruin EJax shutout too.....

Putz walked him? Oh come onnnnnnnnn.

 

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

9 pitches this inning, and 9 balls, 0 strikes.....

Ump was squeezing us

Shack is 100% right here. THat was a 35 minute+ half inning after the guy had thrown 90 pitches.

 

f***.

Ugh, Andruw Jones with some absolutely boneheaded defense the last week.

What an awful throw by Jones.

Andruw!

Seriously, what the f***. Off the mound?

There goes the shut out and puts two in scoring position.. sweet.. way to give em life

Bad pitching, bad defense, bad managing this inning. I'll be fine with a 4-2 game after this inning.

I don't think it was boneheaded. It was just a horrible throw. He would have been gone with a decent throw.

Leyland's out of his mind if he doesn't pinch hit for some of these lefties.

Well thats not so good..I turn it on to see 2 walks and an absolute awful throw to home. Despite all this..how did Edwin look tonight?

I see and appreciate what you guys are saying, but I still think Ozzie played it right. He gave Jackson one at-bat, which he blew with the walk, and then he yanked him. Who's to say anyone from the bullpen would have done any better with just that one batter? We just saw what Putz had on hand tonight.

ugghh....s*** always starts with a stupid move and Ejax coming out was a stupid move. YOu want to reward him....pat him on the ass for 7 shutout innings and 0 walks.
