vs. YANKEES 5/14

[murph]

Now we have to give a lead-off walk and do to the Yanks what they just did to us...

[NewMarketSean]

They do, at least before tonight's game they did.

For a team with a low OBP that's not good at all.

[Can_of_corn]

Since we made him pitch.

Pretty sure he was 0-6 with 5K and a DP before he took the mound.

This Davis is a lot more likely then the one we saw earlier in the year.

Chris Davis hasnt done much positive for the Orioles since he 'saved" the game in boston. That was real good..but not alot since...

Including and since that game, Davis is 3 for 24 with 12 strikeouts and a .285 OPS (entering tonight). Simply fantastic.

Dino!!!!

[Arthorn]

Very nice DP.

[NewMarketSean]

Nice DP!

[Saintbird]

Beautiful turn. One more Hammel!

[RavNMadMan]

Nice crisp DP there....man I really like Dino and Hardy with the glove

[murph]

I cant throw the ball that hard over hand, let alone backhanded/sideways...ha..that was great!

[Can_of_corn]

isnt NJ supposed to be a good fielding 1B? why DH Nick and not Davis?

I have been wondering this too....the reverse would seem to make sense...

Johnson is beyond fragile, at some point he will get hurt, playing him at first will just speed up the process.

He also didn't look particularly sharp over there when he has played first this season. I recall one very ugly error.

[NewMarketSean]

Come on Hammel, keep your pitch count down.

[NewMarketSean]

****. ****. ****.

[RavNMadMan]

Holy Crap.....there goes the ERA

[The Rick]

Come on Hammel, keep your pitch count down.

And the ball down, that'd be okay too.
