…i have no idea what to expect out of perez tonight…after looking erratic in his last two outings it’s possible ollie could go out and throw seven shutout innings, looking dominate doing so…i mean, thats how inconsistent he is from start to start…you never know what you’re gonna get with him…let’s hope it’s the “good” ollie tonight…
