O's vs Royals 5/5

[catjuggler]

Franceur has got an amazing arm.

[Jagwar]

Yup...although it was more like 10 minutes...in a computer chair...with my head on a wooden table.

Just like high school.

I fell asleep in 3rd period study hall once at Woodlawn. Slept through lunch, woke up during 6th period in a pool of my own drool.

Now, back to the game.

How is Chen's ERA that low with 7 homers already given up?

Seems very fortunate, no?

His FIP is 5.44, so yes, he is.

[crissfan172]

This is ridiculous...bad luck early...

[Hank Scorpio]

Hope they brought the bats today.

They're gonna need 'em.

[LloydYeah]

really? already..so much for that first inning run

[Remember The Alomar]

Infield hit, steal, seeing eye single.

[El Gordo]

It's a gettaway game.It's wet. They don't want to play.

[Remember The Alomar]

This is awful.

[crissfan172]

Tillman hasn't done anything wrong yet. Very unfortunate early.

[NewMarketSean]

Come on, guys.

[jasmith85]

Does anyone else agree that when Matusz is back that Tillman should be the guy that gets kicked from the rotation? The kid really isnt a good pitcher and has pretty mediocre stuff, atleast when Bergeson is on he is a serviceable back end rotation guy.

Edit: that last fastball from Tillman registered at 93, I dont remember him hitting 93 all season. If he can manage to get his velocity back somehow I might change my mind.

Neither of them have earned the 5th spot, but I would say Bergy has a slight edge at this point.

[NewMarketSean]

Bergy based on track record only.
