So is his counterpart, unfortunately.

We can get to Hellickson. I'd say next time around the order.

Thorne talking about the Orioles have made Reynolds available.

I don't think there are many takers if any.

I could see the Reds being interested with Votto being out for an extended period.

Hellickson was walking towards the dugout after that K. I think he thought it was the 3rd out. :laughlol:

[Floater]

Hellickson tried to play it cool there. We all know buddy.

[alaniee]

Wow. Both pitchers are dialed in!

[Goober Noodles]

Bit of a "derp" moment there.

[Malike]

Hellickson hasn't won in his last nine starts, he's too good to make it ten. I suspect they get to Chen before we get to Hellickson.

[Flash- bd]

Chen getting more comfortable with his curve is a huge factor in his increased success of late, IMO.

I've only seen them on TV but does anybody else think the statues of Frank Robinson and Palmer make them look shorter and less powerful than they were? Palmer didn't look impressed at all when the statue was unveiled. The lifted leg is unnaturally straight and short and even its foot is at a weird right angle to his ankle. Doesn't convey how long, loose, and lanky his windup was. The good photos of Frank always show him with a straight front leg as he strides powerfully and the bat makes contact, but the statue shows him crouched down a little after with the bat down to his side as if he were watching a pop up. The crouch and upward gaze also make him look short and thick.

I like the Weaver statue. I guess the sculptor's better at carving stationery figures--he doesn't seem to understand the dynamism of players in action.

Who said they would get to Chen first?

Doesn't convey how long and lanky his windup was. The good photos of Frank always show him with a straight left leg as the bat makes contact, but the status shows him crouched down a little after with the bat down to his side as if he were watching a pop up.

Go take a look at the statues outside the Nat's park and you will quickly appreciate the O's statues.

Talk about dynamism of players in action...

I don't know, probably some negative, sonofab****!

They already have statues at the Nats' park? Who would that be, Frank Howard?

[SrMeowMeow]

What a pickup Chen has been for us.
