Rangers vs Jays (sans Joey bats)

[Xx srs bsns xX]

I think Wash Should have let Oswalt try and get that final out in the 5th. Roy had only been at 62 pitches. Just dont like the idea of going to the bullpen too early.

Have to realize Roy is the long man in the bullpen. They need him back in a couple days....rather than in 4-5 like a starter.

Wash told Roy he had a 75 pitch limit, Since Roy was at 62 he could have let him gone one batter to get the win.
It worked out for Wash so I am happy just to get a win today. It will be interesting to hear what Wash has to say about it because the Blue Jay analyst Pat Tabler said its personal between Wash and Roy

He said Roy was out of gas because he hadn't pitched in 9 days. I'll find a link..

I read it was over custody issues.

Passport issue may have just been the public story rather than the custody issue ... in order to protect his family's privacy.

Not likely that TEX would have been able to justify "restricted status" if the issue was solely a misplaced passport.

NOT a smart play to try to score there.... (mainly b/c there were no outs)

Glad it worked out...but jesus.

Anderson usually doesn't do that but he got away with one there. Nice job by Murphy avoiding the tag.

 

[romeo212000]

And Mitch just keeps on hitting.

 

[romeo212000]

Sorry Elvis, but striking out there is unacceptable. Josh has to know he won't see a strike here.

 

[romeo212000]

Unacceptable not to get at least Mitch in.

Who is this catcher and what has he done with giovanny soto?

I dont know but who ever he is by all means keep him around

 

[fanman8825]

Cant believe what I just saw. A MY homerun sighting

 

[romeo212000]

I don't think MY even believed he just hit a home run.

The bat is actually jumping off his bat.
