vs. Twins 7/17

I'm going to keep making those requests.

Take the power back!

The bullpen is gassed. Sure, Zach is giving the O's better than they've gotten, but that's doesn't mean it's good.

Not necessarily, Ve Ve. Strop didn't pitch at all yesterday, Lindstrom threw a total of 6 pitches, and Patton threw a total of 10 pitches (9 for strikes). Also, even though Jimmy Johnson got lit up yesterday in his 25-pitch fiasco, but I have a feeling that he could easily go tonight, being that we have used him so little over the last few weeks (including the big All-Star break).

Giving up on positivity already? It was a nice change.

No i meant in passed games.. I don't believe that happens tonight

Reynolds just missed a meatball. I'm a confessed admirer of Mr. Reynolds but he just is not swinging it this year.

Then our pitchers proceed to hand them 3 runs back

Just when I was about to throw you rep.....

I didn't just mean "gassed" from yesterday. I meant gassed from the entire season, as evidenced by the runs they have started to give up over the last two weeks.

The pen could REALLY use a week of 6+ innings from starters.

I don't know the numbers, but they were SHREDDED over the weekend. We should smash.

The 4 walks is telling at least some of the story... I'm not actually watching the game so I can't comment on the strength of those hits, but a walk an inning will come back to bite you if you keep it up...

Happily it caught up with the Twinkies first!

C'mon Zach you got this man, trust your stuff

[RavNMadMan]

OK Zach you got this buddy. Three up and three down. I want 6 from you Zach.

[scOtt]

Ball eight!

OK Zach you got this buddy. Three up and three down. I want 6 from you Zach.

He was over 80 through 4. Getting through 5 would be asking a lot.
