7/1 - O's vs. Red Sox, The Rubber Match

[PaulFolk]

Do you leave Bergy in to go for his 2nd CG this year? I say absolutely.

Isn't it the heart of the Red Sox order coming up? It's risky. I think I'd let him start the inning, but bring in JJ at the first sign of trouble.

I wish Brad Bergesen could start every game for the Orioles. He is a delight!

Bergesen is the one pitcher that I make sure I do not miss watching his game. Time to give the ball to JJ/GS let them finish the game.

Error - BRob to start the inning.

Bergy will shut it down.

Roberts booted a ball at the beginning of the inning. But it did not matter as Bergy slammed the door.

What a performance!

Mucho gracias.

Nope. He's doing congratulatory handshakes.

They'll be bringing in someone for him.

He is done....JJ is ready so I guess it is the right move. You do not want him to get up to 120 pitches and then have to get JJ or Breezy with men on base. Great game.

You have to love watching this kid. I think of Mike Boddicker every time I see this guy pitch. Who takes the ninth JJ or BB?

Ok, I really wish people would make up their mind already. Which is it going to be....Mussina....Boddicker...do I hear anyone else?

... with a very short leash. Sherill would be warming in the bullpen.

[jets4ever]

Great job BB!! :clap3:

[porterhouse]

Looks like Beckett's done. Ramirez (not Manny) coming in this inning.

It's Bard actually.

[Lefty0315]

Was the second strike to Pie another horrible call? It looks that way on gameday.

[Three RBI Homer]

Im putting in JJ in to close out the ninth due to the fact he is a GB pitcher (similar to Bergy) and his recent successes against the sawx.

[Mike B]

This guy is bringing it.

He reminds me of a lot of different pitchers the Orioles have had throughout the years. Limited stuff, but he keeps you in the game and won't give in.

Plus he is rested.

[Three RBI Homer]

Bard looks pretty filthy. Huff for Bard and Lowrie? Any takers?
