6/20: O's at Pirates

[El Gordo]

Pittsburgh is not good at all. I don't know who that guy is hitting #2 but he doesn't look like a ML hitter to me.

He got through that inning while throwing only 4 strikes, all fastballs, nothing over 90, and all three pitches that were hit were in good zones for the hitters. Get him out of there Buck. Don't try to squeeze another inning. It won't work.

Be careful what you wish for.... Gonzo!:eek:Thank God for JJ.

[Goober Noodles]

This "injury" time out must be tongue in cheek. "You SURE you're not hurt? Those practice pitches aren't looking too close there Mike..."

[waroriole]

What an absolutely awful baserunning play by McCutchen. Oh my God...

The ball was behind him and for some reason he is going back to the bag. That was an automatic go to third. Just amazingly bad baserunning.

Yeah, that was Orioles' baserunning bad.

[PrivateO]

Now Gonzo is hurt?

I hate to be that guy, but that may not be a bad thing...

[Steve I]

Please extend Hardy, he is so good, he can make Gonzo appear effective. Quite the accomplishment.

[scOtt]

Was that what it was? I don't remember. That would explain it.

So, Buck is smart enough to get Jake out of the game, but he brings in Gonzalez. I suppose he has to use him and five runs is as good as it is going to get. Hopefully, the leash is short. McCutchen couldn't hit that much harder now, could he?

I've got to think they're close to losing Mr. Gonzalez.

I'm just assuming. Boras was hinting around about 10 mill for Matt.

[mrbig1]

Does this seem like a long game.

Yeah, a friend of mine is a Pirates fan, and they were really bitter.

[barellano]

Baseball is a funny game. It's amazing how one day everything goes your way, and the next everything goes against you. Unfortunately for us the O's seem to get the latter more often than not.

[Steve I]

I agree. He is my biggest disappointment since Adam Loewen. All kinds of talent and he no longer appears to even have a chance to be a good hitter.

Gonzalez is just not fun to watch.

Gonzo is just slightly above Goggles in the "Oh Crap here it comes" department.

[Hank Scorpio]

Here comes that cool ass character, Captain Morgan. Or is that Jack McDowell?

Opposing Pirate: "Hang on, boys... I think he's going to do a backflip. If he sticks it, we won't loot their boat."

(Morgan sticks it)

Opposing Pirate: "Let's booze it up."

[hoosiers]

Decent inning from Gonzo. Maybe leave him out for a second IP.

Terrible baserunning by McCutcheon - he should have gone to 3rd (been tagged out) and let the runner be safe at 1B.

Are you nuts? Gonzo is gasoline to the other teams slow burn.

[mrbig1]

I think Pie should bunt.

[Remember The Alomar]

Moskos seems...inept.
