Baltimore Orioles 2013 Ongoing Thread

Against the Angels? I sure as shit hope so.

Did you see how Scioscia has Josh Hamilton in the 2-hole and dropped Aybar all the way to #9? Is he trying to get fired? Stick Hamilton in the 8-spot and admit you fucked up by signing him and cut your losses already.

I can't talk too much shit about Hamilton, he rung us up for 4 homers at a game at OPACY last year.

 

[Coltsfanphil]

True, but he'll probably get rung up for 8 runs in 4 innings his next time out. As I said in my post, both he and Garcia are hit and miss (Garcia when 3 innings w/ 6 earned runs tonight after 8 shutout innings his last time out).

Tillman pitched a good game yesterday, gave only 2 earned runs on the road in Tampa Bay. I think he has made a good case for him staying in the rotation. Garcia pitches tonight against Weaver and the Angels. I hope Buck keeps him on a short lease.

You guys should join us in the Game of the Day thread. It's the O's tonight.

You guys got Freddy Garcia going tonight. Is he going to bounce back after that rough start?

Garcia pitched a good game last night against the Angels ! He kept us in the game and Jones made Weaver pay for one of his few mistakes.

That Bourjos catch to rob Hardy of a 2-run tater... wow.

 

[hokiehi21]

Man if you like defense, this is the game for you. Machado, Davis, Bourjos, Pujols and Trumbo have all made spectacular defensive plays... and it's only the 2nd inning.

Markakis with some timely hits tonight!

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

These are the kind of home streaks I like to see... in direct contrast to the Pads/Rays series of about a month ago. Go O's!

As a 30-year-old journeyman trying to log 200 plate appearances in the majors for the first time this season Steve Pearce is someone to root for and the Orioles outfielder/designated hitter also has an interesting way of getting to Camden Yards for work each day.
“I had a big old truck last year … driving around in the city sometimes is a pain in the butt,” Pearce told Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com. So instead Pearce got “a souped-up electric skateboard” that he rides to the ballpark:

I love that thing. It’s comfortable. It’s cushioned. Great gas mileage. It’s electric. It’s not like a regular skateboard. It’s got big old wheels on it. I don’t have to worry about a rock throwing me off of it. It’s durable. My dogs love it. They chase it. We have a church next to the house with a big old open lot. I get on the skateboard and they get some exercise

Hammel pitched solidly into 7th. O's had lead 4-2. 1st 2 batters got on, so Strop relieved Hammel. The score is now 6-4 LAA with no outs. PLEASE SEND STROP TO ROOKIE BALL!!!! HE SUCKS!!!

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Not watching, but I see it was a triple to score a bunch of runs. Bleah.

 

[jeffro151]

and now Pujols launches a 2 run HR. LAA 8-4, with only 1 out. FUCK YOU STROP!!!!!

 

[BigDDude]

Chris Davis - Strong like bull

 

[Coltsfanphil]

and now Pujols launches a 2 run HR. LAA 8-4, with only 1 out. FUCK YOU STROP!!!!!

Take 2 out of 3 against the Angels, I will take that any time. Now the Red Sux come to town. If end there was a time to get the brooms out this would be it.

 

[jeffro151]

Nice snag by Machado to get the DP.

 

[jeffro151]

Gausman has 4 ks thru 3 innings. Os lead 1-0 on a Valencia HR.

 

[jeffro151]

Os lead 3-0, going to the 4th.

 

[jeffro151]

Gausman was cruising, then he served. back to back HRs to Ortiz and Carp. 3-2

 

[Taz_Hokie]

He still had a hell of a game. Hope we can hold on now for his first win.
