ORIOLES vs. PIRATES 3/31

[Can_of_corn]

How long of a leash does Chris Davis have?

How long can Johnson stay healthy?

[PaulFolk]

Barmes singles sharply to center. Barajas has to hold at third, obviously.

Four straight baserunners allowed by Arrieta in the 4th.

Yup, looks like the O's will need corner infielders next year.

O's look in mid season form.

[Going Underground]

I have a feeling Arrieta is going to be our most frustrating starting pitcher this year.

I think the whole starting staff will be frustrating.

[PaulFolk]

Now a strange play that Manfra butchered the call of.

Bedard bunted in front of the plate. Paulino fielded it and throw to first, but then nobody was covering home, so Barajas scored. Then Barmes took off for third, the throw was wild, and Barmes came in to score.

Yes, folks, the Orioles just let TWO RUNS SCORE on a BUNT.

I thought it was something particularly screwy. Gameday is still yet to translate.

Erik with a 2 run bunt. Yes, you heard it.

[PaulFolk]

Arrieta retires the final two batters to end that debacle of an inning.

Pirates now have a 5-4 lead.

I thought it was something particularly screwy. It's the Orioles.

Fixed that for me.

Can we blame Dave Trembley for this?

It their defense I am not sure how you could be expecting the pitcher to bunt in that situation.

Christmas gets marketed earlier every year. The Orioles are really taking it to another level. Such giving spirit and it isn't yet Easter.

[Don Quixote]

Yeah, really. It was only the first thing I thought of (and approaching 100% of anyone who's reading this thread, also).

[PaulFolk]

Orioles go down 1-2-3 in the 5th.

Halfway through. O's trail, 5-4.

Sun recap:

And here we are in Little League: To recap, Bedard bunts, Paulino grabs it and throws to first while runner Barajas breaks home ...

Barajas then scores on the throw back to home. 3B Betemit had charged on bunt, so no one on third to stop runner Barmes. ....

Reimold comes in from left to cover third and Paulino's throw bounces off Reimold and into left. And Barmes scores, from first on a bunt

Gameday might explode with the recap.
