Fairly classic JJ outing there. One fisted hit on a pitch a little up, followed by a K and a tailor made DP grounder. Welcome to 2013!

Jim Johnson is going to end up as the best reliever in Oriole history if he keeps his uniform on. Is that even a bold prediction at this point?

Jimmy Johnson is a football coach with bad hair.

Jimmy Johnson is a football coach with bad hair.

The "Jimmie" variety is a race car driver. JJ is all over the sporting world.

Gregg Olson had 160 saves and a 176 ERA+ in an Oriole uniform.

JJ has 73 saves and a 139 ERA+. I'd have a hard time seeing JJ as better even if he ends up accumulating more than 160 saves as an Oriole, which is possible.

JJ will be okay, CD's defense will get better, we need better SP.

[eddie83]

I thought he threw the ball much better today than in Tampa.

[O's84]

His control and velocity are a cause for some concern. Hopefully he can bounce back next time. As for tomorrow, we'll ride Hammel and the hot bats to victory.

[Arthorn]

He threw some really nice pitches, including 2 great back to back changeups to Mauer. Unfortunately, he seemed to lose the feel for his fastball right after that. He had to get 4 outs but the walk killed him and us.

It seemed that the late called time out killed him.

[gallden]

We should keep in mind that's its still pretty chilly. He'll add 3-4 mph in the couple of weeks.

I did not see the first six innings on TV but heard a lot of it on the radio. The ump appeared to squeeze O'Day and JJ the last two innings and was giving the corners to the Twins pitchers. Reservations somewhere?
