ORIOLES vs. D-RAYS 4/01

[bobmc]

Now Nick Johnson goes yard to straightaway center. It's a homerun derby today.

8-3 game.

Another wind-aided jolt....but good to see NJ with some power

So, next time we play these guys someone please remind our pitchers that the Jennings guy can hit.

I don't know why they think they'll get any kind of return on their investment. The Orioles would get a better return if they were paying Gregg to pitch against them.

Exactament.

Good shot by Johnson, by the way. That was pretty well smoked.

[MarylandAaron]

I've been trying to sound the warning call after he got lit up last time by minor leaguers but no one seemed to care. Everyone's preoccupied with whether Wada makes it as the fifth starter over Matusz. This guy leaves a lot to be desired and he hasn't missed many bats lately.

Yup. No strikeouts, a few walks, 3 HR's, and a couple really deep fly balls that just missed being HR's. He just wasn't fooling anybody out there.

[PaulFolk]

No other baserunners in the 7th. On to the 8th inning. Orioles trail, 8-3.

[Il BuonO]

Reynolds and Davis back to back. I don't think I care to see this particular version of the lineup during the season.

Johnson may well be one of the top 4 or 5 hitters in this organization.

[Don Quixote]

Nice play by Flaherty and Davis.

Not so nice hit to the gap for a ground-rule double.

[bobmc]

Bordy impressed by Flaherty's diving stop but SG wasn't impressed with Davis' "routine" falling off the bag pick at first.

[Don Quixote]

Channel-flipped to try to catch the golf...Penguins and Flyers really getting into it. Even the coaches letting it fly.

I would have liked to see Davis be a little more graceful, but I'm just glad he got the ball.

The amount of anger in that game is pretty hilarious

[PaulFolk]

Scoreless inning for Stu Pomeranz.

[PaulFolk]

Markakis adds to the homerun brigade. A solo shot to right.

[Il BuonO]

Hoffman is the guy we picked up as what, insurance in case Reimold doesn't pan out?
