vs. RAYS, 9/07

Alright Bud. Get some runs guys!

Norris is a bulldog. I expect him to start in the playoffs. He will raise to the occasion.

I think Gausman is more the bulldog then Norris.

[tntoriole]

Well, he's lowered his walk rate this year to the lowest of his career to 2.7 P/9 IP.

Full year stats dont speak to how he is pitching lately. He has 7 walks in his last 14 innings over his last four starts for a 4.5 rate.

Great job right there to get out of it. Nails.

Ubaldo like in his escape skills!

Wallace goes to the mound, Bud gets out of it. Seen that several times.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get some runs. We are in this game and we're going to win it if Norris settles down.

43 pitches.

[tntoriole]

2 innings, 2 runs, 2 walks, 43 pitches. Except for his start against Cincy, he has been a mess over his last few starts.

No doubt that's not good, but Norris was pitching well before he went down with the injury. He made need this month to get back to where he was when he was basically lights out. You want to replace him with Jimenez?

TB was due coming into this series and now we're due, go Orioles, let's start scoring.

[WEAVERMAN]

We need base runners, let's go.

No, in playoffs, Bud might not make the four man. Jiminez may not even be on the playoff roster much less in the starting rotation. It is between Bud and Gausman for the 4th slot, not Bud and Ubaldo.

With the bases loaded we would have seen Buck come to the mound not Wallace.

I'd think about replacing him with the bullpen.
