Stotle - I don't know much, but Carmona's delivery looks overly violent, what say you?

I think that's part of the reason he has a 3.5+ BB/9 career average. Along with a 2S that he can struggle to throw for strikes.

[TGO]

Bergy has gone 0-1 to every single hitter except Sizemore in his HR AB.

Of course after this he started 1-0 to Sizemore and then hit A. Cabrera on the first pitch.

Accardo warming in the pen.

[OFFNY]

2 earned runs in 5 innings for Bergesen.

Has a manager ever voluntarily resigned during his first season with a new team?

Choo is a fantastic player, almost went out to dead center. Is BB done? 88 pitches

[El Gordo]

Thank you Felix.

Bergesen's going to help this club if he can continue to pitch like he has today. Limit the mistakes, keep guys off base so when the mistakes do happen, they are solo shots instead of three run homeruns. He almost gave up one there, but 2 ER in 5 innings is a good sign coming off of his last start.

Bobby Winkles of the 1978 Athletics. They were 24-15 when he resigned. I rermember it.

I'm taking my dogs for a walk then cut the grass. If we were winning I would still be here. Thank the O's dogs.

You can't contain the "Wheels of Wieters."

There's a gem from Palmer, "They still have a chance to win, if they come back."

[bobmc]

Sizemore back 2day.... dangit couldnt wait 1more game!!

Grady is def baaaaaaack! Nice catch by Felix though!

Pie would have had a triple on that.

[Steve I]

lead off man on again, let's get a better outcome

[Scrat1]

Can't complain too much about that outing from Bergesen. This is on the offense.

Odds and ends:

Townsend is 2/2 so far today, double and a single.

Crawford's slash line: .132/.179/.151
