Or however you say thaaaaaaat...

Anyone get it?

In other news, yeah, one of the worst losses of the year last night.

At first I didn't want Gardy to bring anyone out for Miller.  It was a loss and no reason to burn a guy like Neshek.  But honestly I got way to awful for that kid.  He was in way to many piches, and more importantly, SOME mercy was needed.  It was supposed to be his inning to get out of, but after 8 runs and one out, I'm glad Gardy took pity on him.  That would be a very rough way for a 24-year old to experience his, what, 4th major league inning.  Especially now that he knows that severely damaged his career since he's probably going to going down for Mauer now and just got sent to the end of a very long list of possible relievers.

Not really trying to second guess, but I would like to see Ortiz pitch mroe in those situations.  He didn't pitch very well at all in his time, but I'd like to see whoever ends up in that spot go 3 or 4 innings in such a situation in the future.

Honestly, by years end, I wouldn't be surprised if it were Baker.  Based on last year and what we learned about his numbers this offseason, I'm not terribly optimistic about his chances as a starter, though I'm still hopeful.  Of course, if he struggles, we can get Garza up here.  Ideally, Ortiz will have tanked in the pen by then and they'll just dump him and could put Baker in the pen.  He could turn into a Matty Guerrier, and that's helpful to any ML team.

Anyways, a pat on the but to Jason Miller.
