Andruw Jones just fired a rifle bullet from his bat. That was a bomb.

[Flynnatic10]

I think we need a mercy rule

[AtWork]

The entire Orioles franchise needs a mercy rule, Angelos has really run them into the ground.

 

They're spending $85 million on this team!

How much of that is going towards painkillers?

Doesn't matter. They're not working.

[jacksonianmarch]

They need a 50 caliber painkiller and put them out of their misery

Nova quietly throwing a very strong game and showing the ability to strike guys out, something he showed after his demotion. 6IP 6H 2ER 1BB 6K. This should open up Hughes slot for him. He's got the stuff.

[BornToRun]

Holy s*** that kid is fat. Should've auctioned the ball off and paid for lipo.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Get the Orioles out of the MLB. What a s*** team.

Get the Orioles out of the MLB. What a s*** team.

 

And take away the only AL East punching bag left? No thanks.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Good point.

[Flynnatic10]

Every dominant team needs a punching bag. Like the Bills are to the Pats.

[AtWork]

Garcia is topping out at 85.6 mph.

[AtWork]

I can't believe Jeter got to that ball. Not surprised he threw it away.

[BornToRun]

God the O's suck.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nothing new here.

[MDF3530]

Get the Orioles out of the MLB. What a s*** team.

And they can take the Houston Astros with them.

[AtWork]

Over/under - Hughes gives up 1.5 home runs tonight.

[AtWork]

Swisher's the typical obnoxious jock. If I was on the Yankees I'd ask for a locker on the opposite side of the clubhouse and play music constantly so I didn't have to listen to him talk... and talk... and talk...

 

I think he's worse than Papelbon.

[jacksonianmarch]

This ump is giving the corner like nobody's business. Strike 2 to Tex wasnt even close

[jacksonianmarch]

Where has this Hughes been all yr? 94 and 95mph with a real curveball? WTF?

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex goes deep, 4-0. Hopefully Hughes can keep this up

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes with the gasface to beckham.

[AtWork]

Now he's missing his spots with his fastball. Even on that strikeout Martin was setting up down and away and that pitch was up and in.

Thurman would frequently check his rival's statistics in the newspaper, while Fisk was infuriated at the mention of Munson's name. Fisk later remembered one instance in which Munson found out in the morning paper that he was losing to Fisk in the assist department during one year late in Thurm's career. With Ron Guidry on the mound sporting a masterful ten-strikeout game, Thurman purposely dropped about a half dozen balls and threw them to first to edge Fisk for the title.

[AtWork]

Nice bounceback inning. Hughes looks good.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes does look really good. Last game was a step forward apparently with his stuff, then it tailed off. Now, he's thrown 5 solid innings with good stuff. Now is not a bad time for Hughes to find himself

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes is economical, painting the black, getting grounders, making hitters miss. Good to see he still has it, would love to see him continue it vs the sox

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex 1 away from the league lead in HRs and 8 RBI away from AdGon.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yanks in rain delay, gotta think Hughes is done. 6IP 3H 0ER 0BB 4K. Dynamite game
