Balta1701 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 You know, I'd imagine this is one of those games where we ought to tip our hats to Greg Walker for having the team prepped to face a pitcher throwing stuff they haven't seen much. Dickey doesn't exactly have great numbers, but his ERA has shot up by a half a run this inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I was one of the people calling for his firing early in the year and the offense has looked a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickey doesn't exactly have great numbers, but his ERA has shot up by a half a run this inning. That's fine except Dickey threw mostly fastballs because he couldn't locate a knuckler. But, they did wait out a few knucklers to get to the fastballs, so I guess I'll tip my cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*-you Longoria, the rookie of the year plays on the south side of Chicago... Seriously.. if Alexei keeps this up, he's got it.. is Longoria still out? if so, is he out for the rest of the year? Oh yeah.. also.. I love 6 run leads in the first inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Come on Gavin, you've got to keep that pitch count down a little more when you've got an early 6 run lead. Just pitch to contact. If they get 3 runs off you who the Hell cares as long as you can go 7 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Twins still up 2-1, top of the 5th, but Liriano has 87 pitches already through 4...with the way that bullpen has been other than Reyes & Nathan, hope we can get the lead to two games before that long Twins road trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Liriano is up to 95 pitches with no one out in the fifth. Hopefully the A's can get to the Twins pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ESPN "experts" said he still is effective, but you can't confuse his stuff with what he had 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ESPN "experts" said he still is effective, but you can't confuse his stuff with what he had 2 years ago. I'd agree with this...his fastball is about 91, and his slider has significantly less tilt. I think Liriano's benefitted by facing some crappy lineups since he returned.

Harry Chappas Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) With the off day tomorrow the entire bullpen can pitch but Floyd needs to economize his pitches and get a nice long outing in. Edited August 20, 2008 by Jenks Heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Liriano's benefitted by facing some crappy lineups since he returned. I've also read he isnt using his fastball nearly as much as he did a couple years ago. With his current pitch count, Oakland will probably have 4 innings of the Twinkies pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really rather not push them...just about everyone in that pen could use an extra day or two of rest. It'd be dynamite if Gavin could go 7+ and we wind up only having to throw Russell out there to finish things off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
