From a run prevention standpoint it may not be that impressive but from a pure pitching standpoint I think this is the best I seen Manning look since he has been back. Stuff has looked really good.

good inning from manning.  getting stronger as the game has gone on.

Yeah - velo still good at 85 pitches. Now the question is, do you set down a guy coming off all kinds of shoulder issues or do you push your luck for another inning?

[RandyMarsh]

Sounds like Manning's night may be done. Induced 17 whiffs on 85 pitches, that's an elite level percentage.

Agree, Sox had put some good pitches in play. Matt is close - a little more inside/outside command and he can be a staple in the rotation.

So where is the rotation going to finish the season? Manning, Rodriguez, Alexander, Hutchinson and ???

Wentz

[RandyMarsh]

Can't remember what the word on Brieske was, has he officially been shutdown for the year if not he may be able to come back and make some starts.

[mtutiger]

Vest really tuned up tonight... up to 97-98

sign of life from Baddoo.

[buddha]

out!

[buddha]

if javy had kept his glove on him instead of jumping around and complaining, he would have been out for oversliding the bag.

[gehringer_2]

great play but they won't over turn it.

[buddha]

game over.

[gehringer_2]

and there you go.

yup - for a guy that's supposed to have good game sense not being ready for a guy sliding past the bag qualifies as a brain freeze.

[buddha]

[mtutiger]

Nice to see Javy get some infield practice this inning lol

[gehringer_2]

Turn out the lights, this party's over.
