vs. INDIANS 6/30

Ugh JJ

I don't know Buck is against it. Per se. If he had the horses I'd bet he'd be running all the time. Who is he s'posed to send?

Adam is our leader, he can run even more. Avery can run real good. Andino could steal some. Roberts could but of course he isn't since he's not "right". Plenty of others can run there and there. Just have to be good at it. Perhaps we're not good at it so Buck doesn't do it. Stinks

WHEREtf was that pitch??????

[MDK02]

We aren't ready to play today.

[alaniee]

Seems like Eveland makes a real nice pitch every 3 pitches or so. If he could get it together, he could have a quality start. Right now he's pretty wild.

[scOtt]

Thorne: "Eveland finds a way."

[Frobby]

Memo to Arrieta and Matusz -- that's how you pick up your defense.

[alaniee]

60 pitches for Eveland after 3.

Tomlin has 19 after 2. Need to make Tomlin work here.

[scOtt]

Such as?

And before you say Avery...he hasn't been up for most of the year. Same with BRob. Jones is the only player the O's put out there consistently who has legit speed. The O's are a pretty slow team overall.

Andino a little, but he's not good stealing. Raw speed.

Memo to Hunter -- just ignore that pitch to Choo.

I don't disagree with anything you wrote. Just glad that Buck realizes it's not worth it for him. It's DPs vs. CS.

Andino's never struck me as having great speed, honestly. I don't know what his times are to first, third, etc., so that's just my impression.

Anyway, you make the important distinction. Along with not having a ton of raw speed on the team, the O's don't seem to have many guys who understand how/when to steal.

[MrOrange82]

For the love of G-d...STOP HITTING THE BALL TO FIRST.

Maybe it's something the Orioles need to work more on. Bring in a specialist like Henderson, Raines etc., coach them some on it. Same with bunting, we seem to be pretty bad at it...

Nice little hit by Flaherty. Need to get Reynolds home! Important...
