ORIOLES vs. D-RAYS 4/01

[Don Quixote]

Desmond Jennings touches one off to left to give the Rays a 2-1 lead.

Pitch left up; HR pretty similar to Hardy's.

[PaulFolk]

Desmond Jennings crushes a leadoff HR in the 3rd. Rays back in front, 2-1.

Rays are hitting a lot of balls in the air off Chen today.

[Don Quixote]

Haven't seen Showalter in the "home" cap until then. Interesting.

Pena hit a fly to Markakis on the edge of the track. One away.

[barellano]

I like that Chen throws a lot of strikes, but man, hitters are making it look pretty easy to hit his fastball.

[El Gordo]

Interesting Bordick is talking about the absence of a long man. Guess he doesn't read the OH.

[PaulFolk]

Shields mows through a perfect 3rd with 2 strikeouts.

2-1 Rays after 3.

Andino was the only Oriole to get wood on the ball that inning, as he flied out to right-center. Chavez and Hardy both struck out.

Let's go, Chen !!!

Bordy knows - ya know? BRob has a beard speckled with gray, Dino has had a great spring and Tilly throws 97 at times (but they need to stretch him out now, ya know).

Let me get this straight - oops. Your boy Dino got wood?

[Il BuonO]

How hard is he throwing? He got knocked around in a minor league game his last outing right? I expected this guy to rounding into shape about now.

No gun but looks about like BMat - ya know 89 - 91ish. Bordy just said 91 - 92, but sneaky fast. And they leave fast with the wind today.

[PaulFolk]

Well, that's no good. Hardy botches a would-be inning-ending DP, and Jennings crushes a grand slam.

6-1 Rays.

[Don Quixote]

Well, good thing I haven't been watching much of this. I think that will remain unchanged.

[Il BuonO]

Not inspiring any confidence.

Whoa Chris Davis has another AB coming....
