Considering it seems that Buehrle was on a short leash in the 8th, he must have told Ozzie after the 7th he was getting tired.

 

That is the only way Mark comes out with only 99 pitches and two hit shutout.

What's with this 90 mph cutter crap?

 

The result of trying to mix it up. The problem with trying off-speed pitches with Thornton is that they're not all that good. His fastball is better than anything he has.

That 0-2 pitch is a killer.

 

Thornton already showed the slider, so no need to throw another off-speed that at bat. If you are going to throw one, you need it to be unhittable. The pitch call should have been a fastball higher than high.

 

He still may get out of it yet, but some one has to go over that at bat and either tear Thornton or AJ a new one.

Thornton is blowing another one.

 

 

Ozzie couldn't resist - his imprint has to be on every game.

I can think of only two successful one-pitch closers - one's in the HOF (Hoyt Wilhelm) and the other is one his way (Mariano Rivera)
