vs. PIRATES 6/14

[DrOrioles90210]

Bundy is really struggling tonight. 3 runs, no outs in third.

Wouldn't be surprised if the grind of pro ball is getting to him a bit.

Apparently the team bus from Myrtle Beach last night didn't reach Frederick until 7:45 AM this morning.

He's really struggling with his control tonight. Already 2 BBs and 2 WPs through 3 IP.

Man, I wish we played the Pirates 18 times a year..

I mean, imagine if we took out just the Yankees from our schedule and put in the Pirates..

[LA2]

Please don't say that.

And don't say the other thing too.

[Flash- bd]

Wow, Tommy Hunter's velocity is really encouraging tonight. I wonder what he did in between starts?

Is it just me, or does Hunter seem to be in the 92 mph consistently with the FB instead of 89-90? What happened there I wonder? Not that I mind....

Steroids? :scratchchinhmm: Any one else read that Verducci article? :laughlol:

But it wd help all the other AL East teams too (incl. the Yankees!).

Davis at bat = stone,cold filthy.

Or if the O's switched divisions with St. Louis (for some reason) and they got to face the Pirates, Cubs, and Astros.

Pirates are an ideal opponent for Hunter, especially now he has a lead to work with. He pounds the strike zone, and Pittsburgh are not a great hitting team, so they may get some pitches to hit, but Pittsburgh's hitters just aren't very good in general and we're seeing a lot of quick outs due to him getting ahead in the count because he's a strike zone pounder.

At least that's my British assessment of things!

What was that reverse-breaking K-pitch from Hunter? Almost looked like a screwball!

It's a spit ball.

I think that qualifies as a jinx.

True. Just making a lame attempt at whining about our unchangeable position in the hardest division in sports history!

[Don Quixote]

I think he means just for the Orioles, then have the other AL East teams play each other 24 times.
