Soriano doesn't appear to have his best stuff this evening.
Tore a fingernail last night, might have something to do with it.

IBBing the bases loaded for Adam Jones? Soriano doesn't exactly have the best control. This seems crazy.

Oh I know. That was what I meant. Seems like it might be affecting him.

Joe: So I hear you're struggling finding the strike zone, Soriano?
Soriano: Yeah
Joe: Hehe, now you have no margin for error. Find it or we go home.
Soriano: Yeah
Joe: Hehe, now you have no margin for error. Find it or we go home.

That 91 mph FB upstairs is hard to lay off for Orioles hitters.Soriano doesn't appear to have his best stuff this evening.

Adam Jones with a good Kevin Youkilis imitation in that at bat.

I don't care if this works. It's so stupid.
Seriously. Why the hell would you take away any margin of error for a guy as wild as Soriano? Even when Soriano is effective he's got a fairly high walk rate.

I thought Buck's players were supposed to be smart? Soriano is all over the place so he helps him by swinging at garbage.

It's not just that. You're pushing the winning run 90 feet closer. Wild pitch, infield error, infield single, etc. all win the game.

This game might test Girardi's will to refuse to use Mo unless it's a save situation. At some point, it's extremely silly to hold him out for worse pitchers.
Aaaaaaaaand there's Rapada warming.

Is Rivera even available? He's pitched two games in a row. And despite his apparent agelessness, he's pretty fucking old.

OK that's enough Nunez for a few days. What the fuck are you doing?

Tex looks like so much worse of a hitter than he is. Just some awful, awful swings, even when he's hitting well.

Finally, the Teixiera popup works.
His placement is genius.

AFT for Swisher.
The guy swings from his heels every time he's up in the clutch.. A couple times a year, it pays off

I skipped a few innings because the Knicks game almost gave me a heart attack, but I was back in time for that. Rivera here, I guess?

Same as the Ibanez game winner last night. Awful pitch with two strikes.

Yeah, except he took a wide strike three last time up with one out and a guy on third. He wasn't taking any chances with Laz Diaz's strike zone this time around.The guy swings from his heels every time he's up in the clutch.. A couple times a year, it pays off
All right, who's closing this game? I suspect the geezer from Panama, No. 42.

Not sure if that was a 2 seam or backdoor cutter but I'll take it.

Nunez almost certainly would have botched that. Nice move, Joe.
