Game 2 Orioles in Anaheim Orange County - Aces Wild 4/21

[allquixotic]

JJ "GIDP" Hardy squashes Dino's rally attempt with his big, muscular, complacent ass cheek.

[jamalshw]

UGH! We needed to start chipping back this inning. A double play to end the inning doesn't accomplish that.

Typical...Arrieta as a number one shows how terrible this team is....it has just been our usual early season, win a few games mirage...by the end of this month we will be under 500 and heading towards our usual last place finish... 46 years I have been watching this team, but this same old, same old has just gotten me too aggravated to watch this crap anymore..Earl Weaver would have gooten in Arrieta's face, but nobody ever says boo to the modern day pretty boys because it might upset their precious egos.

[OFFNY]

Lindstrom will be fine this inning, and maybe the next too if Buck lets him keep pitching.

We have time to win this game with the offense still.

[calhof2007]

Weaver showed how to pitch following an inning where the Angels gave him some runs. Orioles pitchers should take note.

Hardy has looked lost most of the season at the plate, outside of a few AB's.

[scOtt]

I am floored what his thougth process was there. It is mind boggling. Why would Hunter run with a power hitter up at the plate down by two runs, what was he thinking, he wasn't apparently.

Doesn't Buck call throw-overs and pickoffs?

[eddie83]

You are right. He pitched like Jeremy Guthrie.

That is very true. The Wieters homer set up a chance at a great win. Feels like same old thing, this would of been big for Jake and the team tonight. He regressed.

Look he didn't have to throw it away either way. Just went back and looked at it, it was a quick pick off attempt, why?

[RavNMadMan]

Ughhhh!!!! How can you be dominant through four innings and fall apar5 in the 5th? Hence why I think Arrieta would be a dominant closer. He just struggles to maintain his stuff.

I'm inclined to agree but we don't need more closers we need better openers (AKA as starters)

Yeah, I can't get my head around this. JJ was my untouchable going into this spring along with Matt. What's going on? JJ was my super star SS until Machado in 2014.

[scOtt]

Good play... can't turn it but still crisp.

[OFFNY]

A better throw by Andino would have nipped him for the double play.

True, terrible execution. But I don't think it was on Jake to call it.



Out of the inning.



Thorne Thorned me!
