knightni Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 He couldn't throw a strike tonight. Thank goodness he got out of trouble. Anyone else wondering if he might repeat something along that line if (when) the Sox make the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 God I hope this isn't Playoff Jon. Carlos' fly ball would have been a HR anywhere else (other than Minutemaid) He looked good against DLee. He did get out of the inning unscaved, that's a plus, though he didn't look particularly sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 First all-star game, I'd be nervous as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spod=Ratings Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think if we make the playoffs jon will be better and this all-star helped him pitch under pressure so he may be used to it if we get in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the WP, walking Error-amis was the smart play and it set up the routine force out. I wouldn't read too much into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First All-Star game and all must make for a culture shock or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I can see Jon giving up a few runs within the first few innings of his first playoff game. He gets nervous but does not really get shaken up too much. After he gives up a few runs early, he will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Look at who he faced, plus he wasn't pitching on his normal schedule. I'm not worried. As long as his sinker is working, he'll be tough to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:55 AM) Plus the fact he came for relief. Exactly, there's too many things that weren't normal about that situation Jon had to pitch in. However, it's all moot, because Garland DID get the job done. Something you can't say about almost all the NL pitchers and Rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go-sox05 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 id be nervous facing that line up too. I would probably just crap myself on the field and pass out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObamaKnowsBest Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I don't think he will be facing as good as a lineup in the playoffs eiher. I'm sure he didnt get the normal amount of warming up that he gets. And finesse pitchers like him need that. I don't see thiss being a sign of anything unless its a sign of how he will do in future all star games coming out of the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly8509CWS Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 He was just out there havin fun, you saw him smile and chuckle a little when the pitching coach came out there. Good for Jon, not giving up any runs, I wouldnt look to much into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) I think it was just nerves. He started the inning facing his ex-teammate, two Cubs he saw a few weeks ago, and an ex-Cub who faced him last year. The only guy who wasn't familiar with him was Cabrera. I thought it was pretty ironic. Sox pitcher Jon Garland entered the game in the sixth inning, and faced an an interesting run of batters. Garland got ex-Sox teammate Carlos Lee of the Milwaukee Brewers to fly out and the Cubs' Derrek Lee to pop out. He walked ex-Cub Alou and current Cub Aramis Ramirez. Miguel Cabrera of the Florida Marlins grounded out to end the inning. Edited July 13, 2005 by robinventura23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan3530 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 i think it was really encouraging. last year when jon got in trouble he just had mental break downs. but now you can see him maturing. sure he was nervous but he calmed down and got the job done. i know it was just the all star game and the postseason is a whole other monster but it good to see jon embrace the pressure.
