I was wondering how long 'til Boomo let someone have it.
But the biggest surprise of the entire week, in ANY sport, anywhere, is Eric Chavez getting a big hit against a tough Left-handed pitcher. :shock:
I don't think it EVER happened in Oakland.
And ho hum, another boring save for Rivera. Boring. I prefer the excitement guys like Ryan Franklin bring to the closer job. :lol:

Sadly Rivera is timeless and will be pitching until he is 46, like Nolan Ryan. :lol: :benson:

If that's the case, considering how many innings Nolan Ryan pitched, Rivera should last till his late 50's

Mo is amazing, albeit boring. His cutter is unbelievable.
If Chavez would catch up with the "training" of the rest of the guys on the team - that hit would be a homerun.

My favorite guy to face Mo is Bill Mueller, 5-11 including knocking in Roberts after 'The Steal' and the walk off HR in the 'How Does Varitek's Glove Taste, Arod?' game.

He really pissed me off last year. It seems like he does really bad when he comes in after CC, like he wants his inherited runners to score, and would do anything to prevent CC from getting a win. I guess I've just come to expect it now. I knew he would blow it last night, so it wasn't a surprise, so I didn't get as angry as I did all those times last year. I believe I have achieved enlightenment. :ugeek:

You would think after all of these years and number of scouts that have watched him, they would have figured how to hit that pitch by now.

They actually tried to explain it during the game last night. I don't know how accurate but it makes sense. They say that, at the speed the ball is moving, the brain can't process any real movement in the last 1/5th of the pitch. For most pitches, it doesn't make a difference since you can almost immediately compensate for curve, drop and whatnot -- but not his cutter.. Supposedly it cuts up to and in excess of 8 inches. That why you'll see a lot of righties jump out of the box when the pitch ends nearly in the middle of the plate. To them, the brain says "It's going to hit you."
It's quite a pitch.
