6/14 vs O's

[Maxbialystock]

We have 3 hits, the Orioles two hits.

 

That changeup was made to order for Shaw, who these days couldn't get a hit on an outside pitch to save his life.

[StephenCurry30]

This Shaw-Vazquez 8-9 duo is really dynamic. They combined have hit the ball about 100 feet tonight. Vazquez has about a .500 OPS right now, he's really killing the ball

[mvp 78]

This shift talk is embarrassing.

What 8-9 combo is dynamic?

[Maxbialystock]

The only complaint was about a bad strike call to Bogaerts, which should've been a walk and clearly wasn't a strike, no one said it was costing the team the game or anything, but okay, thanks for the input.

 

I saw that pitch and completely agree it could have been called a ball. But it was just one pitch. Bogaerts hit the next pitch hard, but right to Machado for the GIDP. The simple fact is that Tillman has been really tough with men on base. I wish our guys would be so tough.

[Maxbialystock]

3 at bats and 3 easy outs by Betts.

There is pitchers who hit better than Vazquez and over the last month, Shaw has been one of worst players in league.

Hey, Max. Quit your whining. Our guys are still playing for 1st place. And Tillman is a good pitcher, especially against the Sox.

Shaw has been awful lately, granted. I'm down on him too. But he's also batting 8th. I can live with Vazquez at bat because he is good defensively.

I wasn't saying it lost the game or anything like that, but it was just an awful call. Bogaerts should have been on first for Ortiz and who knows what would've happened. Was just an annoying call.

 

Offense probably would've f***ed it up anyway, they've had no problem wasting opportunities lately.

[Maxbialystock]

Pedroia K looking. Tillman is tough.

[Maxbialystock]

Heart of the order--Pedroia, Bogaerts, Ortiz--K looking, weak ground out, K swinging. And this is the third time through the lineup.

 

But it's the 6th inning and Tillman has 104 pitches, so maybe there is hope. How good is the Orioles bullpen?

Orioles have one of the best bullpens in the league, at least the back end. Brach and Britton both come in today with ERA's of 1.03 and 1.04. Givens and O'Day are no slouches either.

Always seems to be good against the Sox.

Just tuned in. Feel bad for Price. The guy doesn't get any run support

[a700hitter]

The mechanical adjustment spotted by Pedroia was a bit overblown. In the last few starts for Price, his hands have stayed low in his delivery. He is not picking them up with his leg. Yet, he is doing just fine.

You lie! Pedey is greatest ever! Pedey is NOT overrated! Pedey is a dirt dog. Pedey is greatest pitching coach of all time!

[d-money]

Nice job by price after that first inning. Can't say much for this offense.

[Jasonbay44]

JBJ! Its only a 1 run game.

[mvp 78]

JBJ stinks

[Maxbialystock]

Complaints about the ump are laughable. The simple fact is that Tillman shuts our guys down whenever there is an RISP. Men on first and second, and Bradley strikes out looking then Young swinging at the 3d strike. Later Ortiz comes up with Pedroia on 2B and strikes out swinging. Bradley has struck out twice and could easily strike out a couple more times.

 

Price, on the other, has pitched very well except that, the one time he gets a man on, he immediately throws a gopher ball to, wait for it, Machado.

 

So far the Orioles, especially Tillman, look tough, and our guys look like babes in the woods. Umpire, my aunt fanny--that complaint is the last refuge of fans of losers (in this game, anyway).

 

Hey, turkey. Bradley just made it a one run game.

[mvp 78]

Not a strike

[Maxbialystock]

Shaw beats out a slow roller!

[StephenCurry30]

Shaw jacked that one. Looks like a hot streak is brewing!

[mvp 78]

Don't worry, replay won't hold up the game!

[StephenCurry30]

Am I the only one who despises Buck Showalter and kinda want him to be hit in the dick by a line drive?

[StephenCurry30]

Im just happy Shaw got one so we can get our automatic out done this inning, opposed to leading off the 8th

[NativeBostonian]

No, I too want a shot right in the dick.

[Jasonbay44]

Of f***ing course, we give the run right back.

[NativeBostonian]

f*** f*** f*** f***! Mother f***ing f***!
