vs. Twins 4 - 19. END OF LOSING STREAK

[backwardsk]

Nick is really in a slump. He was lucky to extend his series hitting streak last series with a hit in the final game. If he doesn't hit today or tomorrow, that streak will end.

I have confidence in him though, he's bound to start hitting.

Or Thursday...

Somewhere on this dreary Baltimore evening Oldfan5 is kicking the dog and cussing to all that's holy that Nickie M is a dog also!

Jake's pitch count is getting up there

[Hank Scorpio]

Arrieta getting squeezed. Pretty annoying.

[PrivateO]

C'mon Jake, double play. Get out of the inning, and pitch the 6th.

[Hank Scorpio]

Man, Arrieta has good stuff.

[The Rick]

In fairness to Nick, he does have a severe lack of protection with D Lee & Vlad hitting behind him. Oh wait... wasn't that supposed to help him this year?

[SammyBirdland]

There you go Jakey.

[PrivateO]

Wow, two great curves to K Tolbert.

I'd like to see back-to-back bombs by Lee and Vlad next inning.

[Winter]

Strike 3!!!

[backwardsk]

Mark Conner is amazing. He makes a trip out to the mound and said throw strikes. Surprisingly, Jake totally forgot that was the objective for two batters.

[Saintbird]

C'mon Jake, double play. Get out of the inning, and pitch the 6th.

No Buck said Gregg would pitch the 6th, 7th and 8th. Rupe will come in the 9th.

[scOtt]

Way to go Jakey!

Arrieta pitching well to get out of the jams but high pitch count getting to him. 1 more inning perhaps?
