5/3 vs Orioles

[a700hitter]

Hurry back Pablo!

Pablo stinks. Hurry back, Adrian Beltre.

[Maxbialystock]

this team is unbelievable. first JBJ goes on the disabled list because he tripped rounding first. Now hernandez is pulled because he hurt his right arm or elbow doing basically nothing with that arm--but he did manage to get his 6th error with his glove hand

[Jasonbay44]

We've had two 3B injure themselves attempting to field a ground ball. This team is truly amazing.

[Ratlike]

Some sort of gypsy curse or something

[Hugh2]

can we trade for Travis Shaw?

What's next, on of our pitchers going on the DL from playing the spoons on the Bullpen roof?

[Jasonbay44]

Sit down pussy

[Kimmi]

Take a seat, Machado!

[Station 13]

OMG this infield

[Maxbialystock]

great K pitch by pomeranz against machado with 2 men on and after machado nailed that knuckle curve but hit it foul.

[a700hitter]

He really worked over Machado.

[Maxbialystock]

zowie! a quick out on a routine pop to beni.

 

Is JBJ out tonight because of his slump?

Yes, plus Young has good numbers against Gausman.

[Maxbialystock]

passed ball????!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Jesus Christ Pomeranz..

[Hugh2]

I still hate the Pomeranz trade.

[Maxbialystock]

i'm sure everyone else has noticed the same thing i do--that with a man on second the catcher if forced to send a sequence of signals vs. just one to tell the pitcher what to throw. that passed ball seems to be the result of an almost inevitable miscommunication.

[Jasonbay44]

34 pitch first inning.. At least no runs scored.

[a700hitter]

Pom worked very hard to get out of the mess caused by his Defense.

[Jasonbay44]

Pomeranz is the white Dice-K. Lots of pitches, lot of walks, long innings, minimal damage.

[Wade Boggs]

I still hate the Pomeranz trade.

 

Me too. But they need him pitching better.

[Station 13]

Pipsqueak is leading off?

[Jasonbay44]

I like Pom, didn't like what we gave up for him though. I think he'll be fine, he's a great 4th or 5th starter.

[Maxbialystock]

i'm pretty sure pomeranz is going with just 2 pitches tonight--the knuckle curve and the 90 mph fast ball. but he finally got thru the inning scoreless on 34 pitches.

 

I don't like Pomeranz and regularly gripe about his pitching, but I thought that was a pretty gritty inning by him. bad luck on the fluky double, followed by another bonehead error by hernandez, follow by the heart of the very good orioles lineup. pomeranz k'd machado and schoop.

[Hugh2]

Me too. But they need him pitching better.

 

That would be nice, but at his best he's an ok pitcher. I'm more concerned with his durability. We bought high on a relief pitcher who is already showing signs of fatigue, perhaps he's battling an injury but it looks like his velocity is down.

[Station 13]

Pom is good for 5-6 inning. Problem is so are E-Rod/Wright

Wright, I don't think will be a concern anymore. He had his day in the sun.

[Maxbialystock]

4th or 5th starter--completely agree. On that basis he is likable.

[Maxbialystock]

damn. Pedroia, beni, and ramirez all hit the ball hard, but nothing dropped in.

[Maxbialystock]

any reports on the injury to hernandez?
