mitre sucks

uh oh.... prepare for a barrage of Mitre threads from Spike today.

 

prepare...miracle they haven't started yet

I have to admit though, a guy like Josh Johnson I think has a better future as a starter than Mitre does.

 

But we'll see how it goes with Mitre. I think Girardi won't hesitate to shuffle around pitchers between the rotation & bullpen if needed.

I don't like how this team can't hit pitchers who may actually make their team....name the last good performance this team has had against a pitcher whose gonna make their team's rotation.

Okay finally some life in the bottom of the 4th.

 

Cabs walks, Hammer with a single. Pinch runners in for both of them.

 

Wes Helms to the plate... K's

 

Olivo reaches on an error by Tejada. Bases juiced.

out of the inning giving up only a walk

 

 

Wellemeyer was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the inning, bringing his inaugural performance to a close.

 

Good showing.

Nolasco pitching the 7th gets into a little trouble & pitches out of it.

 

 

Walk, single,

Strikeout, popup, strikeout.

 

 

 

Baltimore has most of their subs in at this point as well...
