There's an interesting debate going on in the press box now.
What should the Orioles do if this game – 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th – comes down to a save situation in the ninth?
Jim Johnson was brought in to face the Yankees in the eighth. He retired three of four batters.
Will Ohman was warming in the bullpen in the 8th. Alberto Castillo has already pitched – and pitched well.
Sidearmer Cla Meredith is available. So is Alfredo Simon, who was just called up today. And he is now warming up (bottom of the eighth).
Johnson could come back in the 9th.
Orioles manager Dave Trembley said he has no closer anymore. He is going to go with the guy who can get outs. So who will that be?
It's going to be interesting.
