Oliver Perez returns from a long “DL” stint tonight vs. the Dodgers. Hopefully his knee has healed aka he has worked on his mechanics in the minors. Hopefully he focused on his mechanics while watching the NBA playoffs in Orlando court side as you see in the picture above. Is it odd that I was looking forward to Oliver returning because this team is so bad? Anyway, even if he pitches well, unless he can hit some home runs right now it may not help this team. Here’s tonight’s punchless lineup:
Cora, ss
Murphy, 1b
Wright, 3b
Sheffield, lf
Church, rf
Reed, cf
Schneider, c
Castillo, 2b
Perez, lhp

Looks like same ol Ollie with the walks
count is at 7 now, what is wrong with him? its a huge ballpark he needs to have more confidence in his stuff. He definitely isn’t a pitcher who gets guys out by throwing balls. When he misses, he misses horribly.
That daniel murphy behind the back toss in the 7th is one of the craziest things i’ve ever seen. wow.
that play was insane, maybe the baseball gods are looking our way tonight
Almost forgot: that freeze frame shot is outstanding. Sitting courtside at an NBA game Ollie has the same look on his face as he does on the mound, in the dugout, wherever: totally cluless.
