Great job Jose!!!

 

Yeah, it's real surprising that of all teams, he'd have the most success vs the Yankees. You'd think that with his control issues, they'd wait him out. Rather, the Yanks have been chasing his forkball about as much as any team, along with the Indians. Does Ozzie go with Hermanson here, or Cliff/Neal/Marte? I'd like to see Cotts come in, and if he gets in trouble (2 runners reach), bring in Hermanson.

If Jose is done for the day who is warming up? Is he giving Adkins work or bringing in Hermy?

 

Adkins? I think I just lost my lunch. 4 runs against the Yankees is definitely not a sure thing. I still have nightmares of the Foulke debacle vs them a few years ago, when Giambi hit the 9th inning homer.

I agree with you. The ole stomach is churning just thinking about it. I forgot to add Adkins earlier as some one who could go down to bring up some extra help.

i'll be honest, i really thought jose would just implode having to face the yankees, but he has but together two really good starts, please don't slump in september.

Nice to see JC pick it up since MB's been slumping

I don't want him to slump, but you could argue that this start was as important as any other start this season. If he tanked today, you're looking at an 8 game losing streak having to go face Santana. Lets win this game, and enjoy the day off tomorrow!

Oh boy, Marte?  What more does Cotts have to do?

 

Knock on wood, but Damaso has had much more confidence in his fastball lately, leading to more success. Hopefully he can keep it up, it would be nice to have someone on this team who we can be confident in getting lefties out.
