It doesn’t unduly bother me that they couldn’t get many hits off Matsuzaka – not because he’s OMG(!) awesome or anything, but because he’s the sort of pitcher we always seem to have trouble with. What did surprise me is their inability to work him for walks, or even to push his pitch count terribly high.

He might just earn himself a spot in the bullpen and if he keeps throwing strikes, he’s got a good chance. The guy’s been through hell trying to get to the big leagues and I’m a sucker for those kinds of things.

is this typical of byrdak? looks to me he could really strengthen the bullpen.

Byrdak has been respectable. He does a good job keeping the ball down.

Good relief by Byrdak (sp). He’s got that 33 year old maturity.

I think that was a makeup call. The previous missed call was more blatant.

Well, our batters can still get in it, esp if they decide they don’t all have to hit homers, like Maggs just did. But the relief…ugh, I’m nervous….Hold ‘em down, guys..hold ‘em down…

He doesn’t seem to have that good of stuff. They must be tired from the trip. They also appear a bit anxious at the plate. Example Guillen’s third strike

If our guys would just try and get some base hits instead of HR, we might be better off. Also, is anyone else tired of hearing about how comfortable Gary Sheffield is at the plate, now. I say, “put your money where your mouth is, Gary” and put up or shut up.

115 pitches in 5 innings by Nate ;-(

Actually, it looks like three guys, including Nate, went over 115 pitches last year.

I just hope Nate can get through the next inning. I’d imagine they won’t let him throw more than 120 pitches. I think only one Tigers’ starter has gone over 115 since Leyland arrived.

Nate’s really pitching pretty good, not a lot of hard contact at all. Too bad he’s only got one more inning left in him. This game’ll be up to Byrdak, Seay, Rodney, and Jones.
