That's twice getting the k with bases loaded. This is entirely too stressful.

Just not very good at all.

He's got nasty stuff, but he's his own worse enemy. I hate watching pitchers like this.

Hammel will have 2 quick innings in the 4th and 5th, and Buck will let him pitch the 6th.

I much prefer watching pitchers who can get consistent ground balls. Pitch to contact, let your defense do the work.

That would be great, but our defense sucks so far this year, too.

Nice to see Reynolds take a walk.

I just realized: I don't like O's games without Matt Wieters.

It's still better to force them to put it in play and force our defense to make a mistake then it is to just tip toe and tap dance, get behind in the count, then throw a meat ball, or just walk them all together for free. His approach is just awful, and he obviously has very poor command the last two times out. His stuff is nasty, so I can kind of understand the difficulty in controlling it.

What is this "he gawn" thing? It is so annoying.

I know. My post was half-serious, half-kidding.

You're stuck listening to the Hawk? That sucks bro.

Haha, I figured - I mean you're not lying, our defense has been pretty poor.
