vs. ATHLETICS 5/29

[nevadaO]

Pie was lucky that the throw was terrible.

[Hank Scorpio]

What are you looking at Felix???

Can't hit the ball much harder than that. Of course, since it was an Oriole who hit it, it was right at someone.

[Hank Scorpio]

Why do they continue to have embarrassingly bad approaches?

[OFFNY]

Good catch, Luke.

I remember listening to Bowa being interviewed and this was amajor complaint of his. Most players can't or wont adjust their approach to the situation. The O's hitters seem particularly stupid in this regard.

ATHLETICS TRIVIA QUESTION:

Who was the last Oriole rookie pitcher to finish his rookie season with an ERA under 3.00 ???

I think Boddicker did it in 1983 with a 2.84 ERA, I'm not sure who has done it since.

This begs the question why in the blue hell don't they teach situational hitting in the minors. Drives me nuts, this shi.... approach.

Hi all. Comcast SUCKS! Couldn't get online for most of the game last night. Has already had a couple burps today.

Not his rookie season.

[Saintbird]

I must say that J.J. Hardy is spectacular defensively. I had no idea of this when we traded for him.

[Can_of_corn]

Not his rookie season.

I don't generally answer these questions if I am not pretty sure I am right...

He's been a pretty special player when he can stay healthy throughout his career.
