O's vs. Royals 5/25

[NCRaven]

I'm sorry, I meant averaging 25 pitches per inning. I understated it when I said 20.

Update: How the heck does that idiot swing at the first pitch? Did he go to the Andino school of hitting?

[The Wedge]

And yes, I just actually referred to swinging at the first pitch of a struggling pitcher as "pulling an Oriole." Feel free to use that.

It wasn't too difficult to read Arrieta's lips when he dropped the f bomb there.

[Ommaculate]

Lost another umpire. Is there something in the water down there?

What happened?

[SammyBirdland]

Pops out on the first pitch from a struggling pitcher. He should be an Oriole.

[OFFNY]

He walks two batters, and the next guy swings at the first pitch ??? Apparently, the Royals are taking baseball fundamental lessons from our beloved Orioles.

[SammyBirdland]

What happened?

Looks like he might have the squirts. He's back now.

[The Wedge]

What happened?

He had to drop a deuce. And I ain't talking about no curve ball.

[Gurgi]

That was great for us. And as the announcer mentioned. For a pitcher struggling to find the plate why go after the first pitch? Do they not pay attention to the game?

Or is their personal stats more important?

Or is it hard to tell a guy who makes his living swinging the bat to hold back some?

Looks like he might have the squirts. He's back now.

How did it look like that? Did it leak on the field or something

What's that they say about brilliant minds?

[Remember The Alomar]

So far, this is the exact reverse of the Duffy game.

He had that look of urgency in his eye. I also detected some clench in his stride.

They decided to stop caring about the Orioles a long time ago?
