That would be my guess too.....but then I have to question how good of shape he is in. Then again, I have never pitched 7 innings in that kind of heat at the major league level....so I shouldn't talk.

I certainly hope you are kidding, throwing 100 pitches and not counting the warm-up tosses in 90 degree heat with high humidity is incredibly difficult.

Johnny "one pitch", "pop out" and "GIDP" Estrada.

 

Is that too long to become a nickname?

It's really nice to see Graffy start to hit like himself again lately. He's been pretty good the last handful of times he's started.

What the heck? Sheets is only at 100 pitches, and he is pitching a shutout! What is happening? What is wrong with Ned Yost? Sometimes I want to kick him right in the face!

Ummm. Sheets is at 100 pitches.

 

It's 88 Degrees.

 

You have one of the best set-up men in the league.

 

You have the best closer in the league.

 

It really wasn't even a decision worth thinking twice about in my opinion.

True that. I know he wasn't going to have an OPS in the .500's very long one way or another, but I bet Braun relieved some of the pressure that came with trying to hit like an everyday 3B.

I'm sure someone has thrown a complete game in Arlington during the summer months.

I disagree. Sheets saying he was done is one thing. Obviously in that case, you take him out. But guys with shutouts go over 100 pitches all the time. I hadn't really considered the heat though, which is a fair point. Even so, guys throwing 110-115 pitches in heat isn't really that crazy.

what's going on here? coco doesn't give up runs.

[bobskube]

This game should be over. That 0-2 was perfect on Laird!

[hurricanecrush]

Can't we ever make these easy?

[Team Canada]

There goes Coco's ERA..

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on all after two outs.

[DougJones43]

Wow. How big are those 2 runs in the top of the 9th?

 

Come on now, let's close this out and get the W.

[DougJones43]

*sigh*

Last year nobody did.

 

The closest was

 

Padilla who left after 8 innings with a 4 hit shutout going.

 

Buchholz for Houston who left after 7 innings with a 2 hit shutout.

 

Reinnecker for Texas who left after 88 pitches with 1 run and 4 hits.

 

Eaton for Texas who left after 91 pitches with 4 hits and 2 runs.

 

Westbrook for Cleveland left after 7 innigns with 2 runs and 2 hits.

[RyDogg66]

Oh well. We're still in first place, texas is still in last.

[Sheets4theHOF]

COMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adamb100]

Thats a blown save folks.

[BrewCrewForever]

Sheets should have won this game.

 

CoCo must be cursed in Texas.

 

All after two outs and two strikes.

[Team Canada]

Sigh. All good things must come to an end.

[bobskube]

Ump blew this!

 

I never saw more punch and Judy hits!

[mikerollins]

Bummer.

[adamb100]

Thats a disaster by Cordero Folks.

 

4-3 Rangers Win.

[RyDogg66]

Hey Texas - Scoreboard.

 

We're in first, you are in last. So take that!

[DougJones43]

I can't believe that just happened...
