Series Thread: with 30 to go 4 vs twins

[tedman2012]

nice to have 7 game lead . looks like top seed is unlikely . with the west shootout it may be wildcard vs angels so it may be angels vs a's or m's while we would play the central leaders .

anyway go o's . alvarez per roch has been clocked at 99 mph from the outfield he is headed to fall league bridwell is another him steve johnson and drake will have to be on 40 man are risked in the rule v draft . walker will be working out just in case the o's need him but he is done for the season other wise nice season for walker .

walker , alvarez , uuuuuuu will all be knocking on the door for 15 with davis and yaz at aa or aaa .

Yanks and Jay's also go at it this weekend. Let's let those two beat each other up for a while.

Hopefully we get our shit together against Al Central teams tonight. Totally unacceptable to be a combined 13-16 against that division.

 

[jeffro151]

Pearce left with an ab injury. Davis moved over to 1st Paredes took over 3rd. He singled to lead off the 4th and scored the first run of the game.

CRUSH WITH THE GRAND SLAM!

5-0

Bout time they got to May

Now I'd love to see Gonzo go 7+

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

This is awesome. So glad to see Gonzo pitching well and getting a nice cushion here. Been a great season, full of unexpected ups and downs.

 

[jeffro151]

Watch, we will need these surplus runs over the next 3 games.

 

[jeffro151]

Yeah, this HR is about to get overturned.

ok, maybe not

Funny story about Youngsters hr.. the guy caught it a few rows in front of me. Later Young had his representative send the guy a bat stating that "Demon wanted you to have this since you gave him a homerun" haha

 

[NJBuckO's]

Pulled out another late one! Got DeAza and Kelly Johnson in trades which isn't much but not awful for what they gave up. Almanzars back too.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Damnit, we just need to cut our losses and get rid of Ubaldo.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Fucking shit. 5 batters, 3 walks, 1 single and a SO. Get this fool out of there.

When Chen existed the game, part of me was actually thinking, "the lead should be safe enough for Jimenez to finish the game."

Judging from his actual performance, it looks like the assumption is probably wrong.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Ugh, and now Tommy is going to walk one in...


or give up a two run single.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Are we playing to try and get Britton's save totals up?

 

[hattersgonnahate]

Ugh, and now Tommy is going to walk one in...

A win by any margin is a win... but it's sad that Britton is actually needed for what should have been a blowout.

[Side note: Apparently OPACY is still a pitcher's park for 2014 as a whole...?]

 

[Taz_Hokie]

I really do not want to see Ubaldo at all in the playoffs.

 

[hattersgonnahate]

I really do not want to see Ubaldo at all in the playoffs.

Seriously... just bite the bullet and DFA him.

Jimenez as a starter in 2014: 110 IP, 4.83 ERA, 1.54 WHIP
Jimenez as a reliever so far: 4.1 IP, 8.31 ERA, 1.95 WHIP (tiny sample size, but still...)

 

[skinz2winz]

Jimenez should not be on the playoff roster imo.
