6/16 @ Baltimore Oreos

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How do you spell relief? I don't know; I'm a SOX fan.

[jung]

That was NOT impressive.

[d-money]

Excruciating to watch this guy pitch.

[d-money]

Is Cora gonna take him out?

[jung]

Here I guess Cora wanted to turn Villar around.

[d-money]

Here comes Taylor. Oh boy

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogey, again, making it tough on the 2nd baseman.

[d-money]

Better score some runs.

[Jasonbay44]

Need some more runs for sure, pen looks shaky

[Bellhorn04]

Good job getting Means out of the game after 5.

[jung]

X was all over this guy. Eventually scared out of throwing X a strike.

[jung]

THAT looked like a high school infield....maybe even JV.

O's fan at ballpark: "I came for the free fedora, I stayed for the crab cakes."

Nothing wrong with that!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So many pitchers suffer from Lester disease.

[jung]

Pitcher did not even have the excuse of throwing to 2nd from the mound on that one. Just heaved a shot put to 2nd base.

[jung]

Last year the O's could not hit, could not pitch and could not field. So far, I don't see a dif other than MAYBE a little better pitching....microscopically better.

[d-money]

This offense stinks today. Still very winnable for the birds.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DH is a misleading term. In the case of the SOX today, it should be DB, Designated Batter.

[jung]

IMO Davis's problem is that the pitchers are throwing waaaaayyyy too many breaking pitches now for that rocking chair swing of his. That is as much a timing swing as I have ever seen. You will never see Chris Davis now or then being able to keep the bat back when he is fooled and make something of it. He just cannot time the breaking stuff and has lost so much confidence now, I just don't think he is able to hit anything.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

O's fans so busy eating their crab cakes, they can't be bothered to boo Chris Davis.

[Maxbialystock]

Orioles announcers keep playing the interference and saying there was none. I think it was obvious.

 

Sox second string pitchers are showing a lot more heart today than the first string lineup.

[OH FOY]

I think this game is going on 2Hrs and 45 minutes, and only in the bottom of the 6th.

Crab cakes are pretty good.

[OH FOY]

They need a Pitch clock like the Minors. Pawtucket will play a DH before this game is over.

It does get old.

If I am not mistaken, they are mistaken. I think the call was running inside the baseline....way inside the baseline. You don't have to mug an infielder while you are way out of the baseline to be called for it. When out of the baseline you are inherently "interfering" with the play on the field because you are not where you are supposed to be.

[jacksonianmarch]

Means is out. The O’s pen is absolutely putrid. You’re gonna tack on and pull away.

Yes it was interference. Yes, the umps made the right call by the letter. What it should be, though, is a dead ball and out right there. That run was already across prior to the interference.

Maybe the O's should change to the Baltimore Crab Cakes.
