By Three Run Homer · Posted
The Orioles have to face two opponents every night: the other team and the home plate umpire. Tonight Thornton was able to retire Jordan Westburg without ever throwing a strike, because he got strike one called on a pitch 6 inches off the outside corner, got strike two on a phantom foul tip and forced Westburg to chase strike three. Mullins and Rutschman were also put in the hole by terrible strike one calls in the ninth. We are systematically disadvantaged on ball/strike calls. My theory is that the umpires have had it in for the Orioles ever since Roberto Alomar spit on John Hirshbeck and Peter Angelos refused to discipline Alomar. Maybe my explanation is wrong, but the fact is that the Orioles have one of the highest number of expected runs taken away from them by missed balls and strikes. The robot umps can't come soon enough. -

Another good outing from the kid. He’s pitching remarkable considering the run scoring environment in AAA. -

Had a great spring, now hitting .271/.920 at Norfolk. Could he possibly be worse than Mullins? How much longer can we afford to carry Mullins producing zero offense? Any reports on the defense? When he came up with Cleveland he did not play CF but they had Myles Straw there. -
