That's right, Girardi, feed us more bullpen!  It's delicious!

With two guys on, no outs, a gassed (and overall bad) bullpen, and the O's up by 4 runs in the 8th, you have to think Girardi is putting in a "give-in" arm here. Someone who will stand out there on the mound and throw BP pitches -- 50, 60, how ever many it takes -- until the O's make 6 outs. 

We could see a LOT of fireworks here, folks. To the tune of 8 or 9 runs or more.

The evidence after one pitch supports you.

Yep.   No one but Hess or Akin should pitch the rest of this game for us.

No kidding! I kinda feel bad for the kid, but at least it's a trial by fire. Gives him something to work upwards from. 

All in favor of hammering him for a couple more runs though!

Wow.

[eddie83]

That Phillies pen is something else.  

[Ruzious]

Man, out of all the O's hitters, I think Severino's the most focused - and that's not something I expected to see this season.  It's like every pitch, he's trying to prove something.

ESPN Just showed a close-up view of Joe Girardi ...............Deer in headlites look.
