7/31 vs Seattle

Ueh's splitter unhittable tonight. Now ya' see it...now ya' don't

I blinked to check the scores and Koji had already set down the Mariners.

[italstallianion]

19 pitches, 17 strikes. The only balls were in that last at bat. Impressive.

[Station 13]

I still wish we didn't take out Tazawa since he only had 9 pitches, but it's good to see they didn't take out Uehara after 8 pitches. Those extra innings can save us if the game goes far into extra innings.

 

Makes me think they don't want to. There's has to be something up with Tazawa. His velocity is fluctuating all season.

Koji>Papelbon

 

Indeed.

[italstallianion]

Thanks to Koji's efficiency now Seattle is on their 4th reliever before we even get to our 3rd.

[jung]

Koji>Papelbon

 

Ueh has two outs and working on the 3rd while Papelbon would still be glaring in and swinging that arm of his back and forth back and forth waiting to throw his first pitch.

[BigPapi]

After those two innings, koji is down too a 1.46 era with a miniscule .69 whip.

[Palodios]

Uehara has a 0.69 WHIP. That's craziness. He's leading the league among qualified relievers.

 

Papelbon's career best was 0.77 WHIP.

Rivera's career best was 0.67 (and his second best is way off at 0.83)

Eckersley hit 0.61 twice (and his next best was also way off at 0.91).

[Station 13]

How could Napoli take a hanger like that?

 

And he struck out on a ball up and away.

[BigPapi]

Damn it, dont let this game drag out longer. CMON NAVA!!! Regain that magic u once had.

[iortiz]

We better score, Thornton is warming up.

Alex Torres is at .64 WHIP and a .27 ERA after today's game. That's 1 run in 33 innings. I couldn't do that in a video game on easy mode.

The Angels made him an offer in 1999 to come to the US, he could be hell of a closer during his early years to now.

[iortiz]

Hahahaha people still talking about Papelbon.

[a700hitter]

Hahahaha people still talking about Papelbon.

LOL!! They need to get over it and move on.

[BigPapi]

Damn it nava. U couldnt at least have prolonged the inning enough so we could be closer back too the too of the order.

Delicious irony

[italstallianion]

We better score, Thornton is warming up.

 

Better him than De La Torre.

 

At least Nava took 11 pitches to get out which can get Seattle onto it's next reliever a bit earlier.

Bro, he took 11 pitches. That's prolonging the inning right there.

[crc2120]

Damn it. The next inning is going to be a waste too with Drew and Holt hitting...

[Station 13]

They're turning a power hitter to the right side, who hits close to .300 vs LHP. THis better not end like s***.

[BigPapi]

Bro, he took 11 pitches. That's prolonging the inning right there.

 

Ik, but i wanted him too get us closer too the too of the order by getting on base,

[iortiz]

LOL!! They need to get over it and move on.

 

Not sure why they hate him. Not sure why they compare him with Koji. He is the best closer that this franchise has had, as simple as that; he is not comparable, not even close.

[italstallianion]

As established with the Tazawa inning, the majority of these next hitters are weaker vs. lefties. I might have used Breslow before Thornton, but if Thornton can't get Seattle players out that are weaker vs. lefties then he doesn't deserve a roster spot.

[BigPapi]

This is big for thorntons future right here as when he should be pitching in the later innings of games

[User Name]

LOL @ iortiz.

 

Of course they're not comparable. Koji's better.

[crc2120]

We're gonna lose our ass. Thornton has been shaky since we got him. f*** this ********..

This.

[Station 13]

Strikes *******. Throw strikes.
