Guthrie vs Glen

(I could have sworn I saw Ricky Nolasco as the scheduled starter...)

[isestrex]

Buck Martinez already pronouncing Cesar Izturis' name like "Caeser" (as in the salad) instead of "Say-Czar"

[isestrex]

Rocky start for Guthrie

single, stolen base, single

1-0 Marlins

[adamwolff11]

Guthrie recovers, holds the damage at just 1 run

[Gurgi]

Guthrie was not real sharp but still made several real nice pitches that inning.

[adamwolff11]

Freel lead off double!

[isestrex]

Freel lead off double!

How can you not love this guy's hustle?

[Gurgi]

Freel scorches a fastball and doubles off the left field wall. Ran hard the whole way and beat the throw by a half step.

[isestrex]

Lol Freel's helmet looks 2 sizes to big :D

[isestrex]

Freel tests Maybin's arm and wins


Anyone thought right there that Freel wasn't going for it? No chance.

[Gurgi]

Moves to third on a flyball by Jones.

[adamwolff11]

Nice piece of hitting by Nick for the RBI. 1-1

[Gurgi]

Kakes singles to right scores Freel.

[Gurgi]

Amber looking as good as ever.

[Gurgi]

Markakis looks like he wants to run.

[isestrex]

Don't hold back baby!!!


meanwhile another error from the everunfaithful Han-Ram

[barellano]

MLB.tv is free today for anyone interested. I'm watching it now.

[PaulFolk]

Maybe Buck knows something we don't in this case. He was Izturis's manager for a year in Toronto. Then again, maybe he pronounced his name wrong even then.

[Gurgi]

Brady Anderson is talking to Amber! He still looks great.

[wickedwitch]

Brady Anderson... :hearts:

[Coker]

My game went to a commerical and never came back :(

[Gurgi]

Guthrie looked good in the second. Fairly easy inning.

[isestrex]

My game went to a commerical and never came back :(

Yeah there's something messed up with MLB.TV right now :(

[Coker]

There we go. Got it working again.

[isestrex]

Izzy pops one up off the wall in RCF for a double :D

This is going to be a loooong season with him at the plate :D

[isestrex]

Pie's throw just a tad off or he would have nailed Hanley

[barellano]

2 run homer. It really seems like everything Guthrie throws is getting hit HARD. Even the foul balls.

[Fan of Newhan]

Haha, I like how Trembley said there'd have to be a delay during the regular season if the O's have a bad inning while he's being interviewed on live TV.

[isestrex]

They aren't going to be interviewing the manager DURING the inning are they? I thought that was just a spring training thing. During the regular season if they do interview the manager it should be BETWEEN innings.

[barellano]

On MASN they definitely interview the manager while the game is going on. They did it plenty of times last season.

[Double062]

You could see Trembley's face getting more and more red every time they cut back to him during that interview.

[trk001]

Kakes tagged out stealing by a mile.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Very cool seeing My Os on TV:):clap3:
I loved seeing Brian Roberts :hearts:and Brady Anderson interviewed!:)

[Tony-OH]

Boy, the Orioles could not have picked a worse time this spring to put up a stinker. MASN shows off there new HD channel and Guthrie looks like an A-ball pitcher while the A-ball pitcher the MArilns are throwing looks like he's carving up the Orioles hitters. Yuck!!!!!

[Aglets]

according to Roch it's 7-1 Marlins in the 5th.

Guthrie is getting lit up like a christmas tree, something like 9 hits in less than 5 IP.

[baseballnelie]

I guess it doesn't matter then that my stupid internet is deciding not to let the new media center for MLB.com play smoothly for me.

[Aglets]

OK so according to the MLB.com boxscore..........
8-1 Marlins going into the bottom of the 4th. Guthrie's line is:

4 IP 10 H 8 R 8 ER 1 BB 5 K 1 HR

[Fan of Newhan]

Ugly outing by Guthrie. That was nice of him to still go on the air and talk about how badly he performed.

[Tony-OH]

10-1 Marlins. The only good news is that maybe Baez will continue to pitch so poorly he forces the Orioles to release him. He's just horrible.

[Fan of Newhan]

Now Baez might be seeling his fate as well...

[nevadaO]

Baez has come on nad been pretty bad. The ball is all over the place, especially high in the zone.

11-1 Florida now with 2 out in the top of the 5th.

[Tony-OH]

The Orioles.. "We're a major league team ....... April fools"

[Aglets]

anyone have Brad Bergesen's phone #?

[olehippi]

I don't think I've ever seen so many balls hit over the heads of outfielders....:eek: It looks like batting practice for the Marlins. And...either the Pie, Jones and Markakis are playing way...wa-a-a-ay too shallow, or they aren't as fast as they/we think they are.

[Who's On 1st]

It could be ringing! :scratchchinhmm:

They are playing normal depth, maybe a couple steps back considering how hard the ball is being hit. The hits over their heads are line shots to right or up a bit and being pushed by the wind out to left center.

The ball is just being hit way too hard for them to get it.

Baez finally out of the inning. 11-1 still.

[nevadaO]

Markakis with a towering shot to right for a solo homer.

11-2

That ball was at least half a foot in the inside part of the plate and turned on it quickly, powering it out. Nice to see.

Nice shot Kakes!

[cindyluvsbrady]

I loved the HR by NICK M:002_sdrool::clap::wedge:

[cindyluvsbrady]

LOL:laughlol:!!

[cindyluvsbrady]

Brady Anderson... :hearts:

I know:):clap3:
He is My Boy!;)

[nevadaO]

O's had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, Scott pinch hit for Mora and flew out to left.

12-2 FLA

[nevadaO]

Sac Fly for the Marlins after another Cantu double (and then moved to 3rd).

Pauley is also leaving the ball up, but not as bad as Baez was.

13-2 now.

[nevadaO]

Hard single to right for Moore to lead off the inning, and Moeller followed with a walk. 1st and 2nd, no outs in the 8th.

Update: Check-swing grounder to 2nd for a 4-3 double play. Moore mover to 3rd, 2 outs.

[nevadaO]

Just Turner fouled off a couple pitches but took a walk. Runners on the corners, Freel at the plate.

[nevadaO]

Ground out to third for the final out of the inning.

[nevadaO]

A hit but nothing came of it in the top of the 9th off Castillo. On to the bottom of the 9th.

[nevadaO]

Nothing doing in the bottom half, 13-2 final.

[mrbig1]

I see we picked up where we left off last year.
