10 K's through 5 innings, but 91 pitches. Ugh at that pitch count.

 

 

 

The pitch count is UUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

I don't really want to allude to anything but have you noticed that his pitch count has been getting pretty high earlier on in games lately?

Yeah I remember. Who knows, we might seem him up sooner or later

 

 

I doubt it because he's struggling in the minors offensively but I really don't care I like him because he's versatile and plays gold glove Defense.

 

 

Oh, didn't know he was struggling. I remember him having a good arm but don't remember how well he did on defense.

 

Yeah his defense is without a doubt great and he could possibly win a gold glove with a full year of playing time (which he probably will never get) and right now in AAA he's hitting .217/.289/.362 with 3 HR's 13 RBI's 3 SB's in 138 at bats.

His main plus is against LHP he's hitting .258/.343/.516 in 33 at bats.

 

 

Nice, well if not this year then hopefully he'll be with us next year. I hope he gets out of his slump there. We could use someone who hits well off lefties

 

That's pretty much what he can do. He OPS'd .801 last year vs LHP which is solid for a bench player/spot starter.

Giambi just stole base...

Yeah because teams have began to foul of more pitches and work deeper counts against him, the main benefit is that he still holds them to 3 runs or less giving us a chance to win games.

Fatigue setting in? If so, as Nolan Ryan would say 'Man up, you can rest on off days and offseason.'

DFA JJ and Paulino, you don't let an old guy like Giambi steal 2nd off you.

Giambi just stole base...

 

 

I could've stolen the base there. He wasn't being held on or even paid attention to...

Very Good Job by J.J. if he gets taken out or not he did another great Job and boy is that ERA getting low!

Yep, even when he struggles he keeps the score down. We just have to get more runs. I begin to get nervous when the bullpen gets in and it's nice when we have a bigger cushion

If that's the case then whatever. But still.....he has gray hairs...c'mon JJ.

Yeah it was both J.J.'s and Paulino's fault as one Josh wasn't paying attention to him and two Paulino was not anticipating the steal and made a poor throw from his knees.

...and it was then that I realized I was corrupted by tv commercials...

This game is too close..might as well put JJ on a shot leash in 7th...

Nice to see JJ back in but let's hope it's a quick inning

Darn that sucks

One more hit or a walk and they'll be taking JJ out

Getting scared now...

UGH why can't we ever just add on

Damn, really need a DP.....

This is going to suck if we lose this game.

f***, time for Veras or Clay?

Id rather let JJ try and finish this inning.
