Solid outing by Chen. Really one hanging slider to a very aggressive hitter. And once again, the Orioles can't score runs for him. Will be yet another tough luck loss. What...is it something like 7 runs now in his last 5 starts? That's pathetic.

The Orioles came back to win, in part because Chen kept us in. This young man is a gamer, a baseball player, with a lot of heart, he's a keeper. The Orioles will reward him with run support in the near future.

[OFFNY]

Umm ....... it's probably just me (what else is new), but the game today was so long that it almost seems like Chen's 7.33 innings pitched and the subsequent standing ovation that he received from the crowd when he left in the 8th inning was from a different game.

This was the second consecutive game that Chen started that turned into an extra-inning marathon.

And AGAIN, by the time this one ended, I had almost forgotten that Chen was the starting pitcher when it began. :eektf:

Man, I really fear Chen is out of gas. Not good. Might be Bundy time, soon?

POSTED ON APRIL 17th: o

Believe it or not, we went 9-9 against the D-Rays last season, and 8-10 against the Red Sox.

Over the past few years, this team has been eerily inconsistent in many ways. They were incredibly hot over the last 2 months and month an-a-half of the last 2 respective seasons after being awful in the first 2/3 of said seasons. It's like the talent is there, but we just can't seem to put it all together over the full 162.

I'm hoping that we are the next D-Rays of the A.L. East like Derek Jeter said that he thought we were a couple of years ago.

Posting as Devil Rays to the very end.

Nay.

TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF! .

Once in a while I call them "the Rays" and/or "the D-Rays," too. :laughlol:

[WEAVERMAN]

This is a huge game tonight and I am glad they're giving the ball to Wei Yin. I think he comes up big and so will the Orioles bats, finally giving Chen some much needed run support. Let's get it done. Go Orioles.

[Malike]

Chen will probably be pulled by the third inning if this start is anything like he's been putting up lately. The hook will be swift.

Chen is pitching on 6 days' rest tonight, he was on 5 days' rest in his previous start, and he pitched on 5 days' rest between 3 consecutive starts at the beginning of the month.

I hope that the cumulative extra rest that he has gotten over the last 30 days will have some positive effect for him when he pitches tonight, and when he pitches in the postseason.

Someone posted his line in his last game thread over his last 10 starts or so, and he's had I think a 5.50+ ERA or something . He really hasn't been consistent in months. He's been pretty bad really.

I have seen the numbers but I think Chen is going to come up somewhat big tonight. Problem is, Buck is going to send him out for the seventh and he is going to get pulled with a couple guys on.
