vs. NATIONALS 5/21

[Hank Scorpio]

True, but just one inning ago, everyone was complaining about letting Lannan have quick-pitch innings.

That's because he was - the first three hitters in this inning all went 3-2.

[RevOlution]

There's your b-day hit Wieters, but let's not stop at one.

The O's have scored 4 runs for Guthrie today. The O's have scored 4 runs against a soft-tossing lefty.

Yup, that May 21st Rapture is sounding more and more believable.

[OFFNY]

Late to the party. Was Nolans shot a moonshot ?

We were the beneficiaries of a bad call. Reimold walked on a 3-1 pitch, the ump called it a strike to make it 3-2, and Nolan promptly deposited the next pitch well into the left-field stands.

Lannan gets the third out. His neck was really on the line there. :wedge:

I love Reimold, and have said so, and was ridiculed for it. In 2009, he may have been the most patient rookie hitter that I have seen in 40 years .................. and he still is patient.

You were ridiculed by short sighted people that were worried about AAA stats, it was as if those people didnt even watch in 09'. I agree, his approach is very good.

Oh, right... what time's that going down, again?

Thank you.

No, it was a screaming FROZEN ROPE line drive to left, probably about ten rows back

[RevOlution]

Now lets see how Guthrie reacts to having a lead. He's in unknown territory.

Dude hustles and has pop. With the injuries, we haven't had a good look at him yet to know what we have.

[JERSEYORIOLE]

Guts has to put up a zero here

No one is going to deny Reimold's talent. It's not like there are people here sitting in their basements hoping that the guy will fail. Everyone would love to see Reimold become a ML starting LF. Not only is it great for him and the team, but it makes guys like Scott expendable and able to trade.

The problem with Reimold has been his injury and his off-the-field issues. If he can get that out of the way, he will be a fine left fielder. I really like how he plays the game, but remember, it's only 1 at-bat. Hopefully he continues; maybe he goes red-hot for a week, or maybe he doesn't get a hit again.

Regardless, everyone wants to see Reimold push the right buttons to give Buck/Andy a difficult decision in 1 or 2 weeks (and for the future).

I know we all may be hopping in the Nolan bandwagon right now, but, I also love his approach, so few Orioles do it, and no matter how much he struggles at the plate he never loses his patient approach which is good for keeping any slumps short IMO.

Apparently 6 PM.
