Yep, might be just as important to get a dependable righty as it is getting another starting pitcher. Helps to shorten the games and save some innings from our starters workload.

jones would be great if he could get righties out

we dont like nate jones anymore?

No, he means get a pitcher from another team who can get the Sox bullpen help and who throws righty.

Just looked at his splits...i reckon I agree....make em a loogy

I think we just want him to not be a rookie anymore.

Putz will fill that role nicely...

I dont hate jones - he just is what he is - erratic. He's had a 6.10 ERA in June and has a 9.0 ERA in July. guy has talent, and is the best non-reed/thornton pen arm we have right now, but im not completely ready to consistently trust him in close games late

 

More so than anything, I think we need another dependable arm down there just so that robin doesnt continue to wear the starters down

Nate is no longer untradable.

Wonder if Robin learned his lesson last night and will go to Thornton for the 8th.

You also need to be cautious about Crain staying healthy the rest of the year. You want to be proactive and avoid having to make a waiver deal.

He's gotta get through the 7th first.

With a five run lead if we can let the PenPals (credit: Rowand44) handle this one, I'm not against it.

They just need to throw strikes. They all have good stuff.

Omogrosso's delivery looks an awful lot like Marc Rzepczynski's.

Nice inning by Omogrosso

Omogrosso giving us some nice, quick innings of late.

Omogrosso's looking more and more comfortable these days.

 

Of course, it's a bit different pitching with a 5 run lead, compared to a tied or 1 run game, like Septimo came into last night.

 

Will be an interesting decision who they send down when Crain comes back. Probably Marinez.

PenPals is not exactly scary or fiercesome.

 

Something a little more forbidding would be helpful. You don't want anyone throwing 95-100 MPH to be your friend.

Unless its Chris Sale.

LAA beating Detroit like the red headed step child that they are. 12-nil now.

 

Now if our score holds and Tampa can get 3 more outs, back to 3.5 game lead. Yeas!
