Led by the explosive Joel Zumaya, the six-man crew have allowed a whole four runs in 19 and 2/3 innings work (1.83 ERA) and consistently worked out of jams. No jam was bigger than the one Jason Grilli dug in clincher against the A’s, and yet Wilfredo Ledezma pulled him out of it. Todd Jones has made it exciting at times, including loaded the bases in game two against Oakland with Frank Thomas bearing down on him, but he has kept teams scoreless in five appearances and notched three saves. Say what you will about Jonesy, and I’ve said plenty including this tirade on June 15th, but he has gotten the job done in these playoffs. The aforementioned star of the pen, Zumaya, was unavailable for most of the Oakland series making the week off something to cheer for as he is now back and ready to go as needed. Jamie Walker, the lefty specialist, has been the least effective of the relievers allowing two of the four runs. Still you should expect to see him in key at-bats against the likes of Jim Edmonds.

Hate him. I heard a rumor that the O’s signed him this off-season and someone had to pull my head out of the oven to tell me it wasn’t true.

Ok, seriously. Joel Zumaya: 2ip 5k’s + successes of papelbon = zumaya needs to be closer. Why should a team wait for the future when the future is already there? Rodney is working on his mechanics or whatever Jason Beck of MLB.com is saying he is doing…Jones is good at sucking.

Leyland said the 2 impressive arms of spring training were verlander and zumaya. I know it would be tough to ride them to the postseason but its officially time to hop on.
