Even if the roof isn't open, CSB is shining down on the SHaMs today!

Ollie pins a guy at 3rd with 1 out with a couple whiffs. 24 pitch inning but nice.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 12 2009 02:07 PM

Retires Oeltjen, works around a one-out triple by Ojeda, and does a not-too-shabby job of pitching around Reynolds (who was weirdly selective). By Jove, think Ollie's got it?

Left work early to play 9, home just in time to see Omir GIDP. Drat.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 12 2009 02:15 PM

FROM THE SILVER LINING DEPARTMENT: They're making Garland throw a bunch of pitches, and not-- Francoeur and Santos excepted (as usual)-- taking terrible at-bats.

Fman99 Aug 12 2009 02:18 PM

Ollie has thrown a first pitch ball to every hitter so far. Uh, boo?

As Ollie struggles to get out of a two-on, one-out jam, I notice the Weather Channel is listing gametime temp as 105. The roof is closed, I presume.
