Damn you, Luke Hochevar. We could have had 6'8 Andrew Miller instead of you and BorASS.

I read that it would be about 60-65, give or take a few if he's feeling tired or good. He may not be able to win this one unless the Tigers come out swinging on the first pitch.

SCTrojan · 08-29-2007, 06:18 PM

He might be able to get into the fifth with that pitch count.

Looks like we will beat the holy hell out of their bullpen tonight. Should make it a little easier tomorrow.
