ORIOLES at TWINS 3/16

[PaulFolk]

Tillman escapes the jam with a Doumit groundout. Both teams strand two runners in the 1st. No score.

[Il BuonO]

GO to end the inning.

[Frobby]

Nothing out of the infield that inning.

[OFFNY]

Nothing out of the infield that inning.

I noticed that. The bad news is that Tillman had a throwing error AND he walked a batter in the same inning.

The good news is that he essentially got 4 outs without allowing a run.

[Il BuonO]

Parmelee walks. No walks, Tillman!

Don't mind a walk there. Two outs a base open, I don't want him making a mistake to a guy named Parmelee. Lead off walks is what I don't like.

[PaulFolk]

Gotta step away for a few minutes. Everybody stay calm!

[Il BuonO]

Wow, another SO for Miller. Does that make half his AB's now?

[CamdenTerp]

Wow, another SO for Miller. Does that make half his AB's now?

It seems like it is either a SO or hit. Never a FO or GO.

[PaulFolk]

O's went down 1-2-3 in the second.

Tillman gave up a 1-out double in the bottom of the second, but retired the other three batters to escape damage.

0-0 game after 2.

[Scrat1]

Any reports on what his stuff looks like so far? I'm just watching on gameday.

[El Gordo]

O's went down 1-2-3 in the second.

Tillman gave up a 1-out double in the bottom of the second, but retired the other three batters to escape damage.

0-0 game after 2.

The double was Bogus. It was a pop up that Betemit missed. Since he didn't touch it they ruled it a 2B H. BTW, Gameday has the MIN audio.

[Scrat1]

Apropos of nothing, Chad Moeller was my favorite Orioles back up catcher from the past five years. Who's y'all's?

Thanks. I don't know why Betemit is playing left field. He can barely play infield, let alone outfield.

[PaulFolk]

Hester, Andino, and Betemit are retired 1-2-3 in the third.

[SammyBirdland]

Hester guns down Span at 2nd.
