Wasn't it nearly six when the game started?

Yes. Zach Britton 2012 = Brian Matusz 2011.

I would send him down, but our next series is against the Royals at home, so maybe give him one more start.

I think he is lost also, but who comes up?

There are no good options.

I miss Hammel.

Nobody speeds up the pace of the game and pounds the strike zone like Kevin Gregg.

Gregg reverting to form....

[weams]

Haha I love when O's fans act like this stuff never happens to other pitchers.

It happens to Kevin Gregg.

[Let's go O's!]

I'm watching on gameday. Does Buck look pissed?

He took the ball from Britton with pretty much no eye contact or anything. I don't blame him for being pissed

[Brendan25]

I guess we can plan on a "fresh arm" getting called up after today. The bullpen is going to get taxed.

[varugby]

Just one out gregg!

[lormat]

Do we have any pitching coaches that can work with these guys?

[Brendan25]

I expected to lose this game. I really did, but I expected to see the guys have a shot. They had no shot today. In some ways worse than Tillman's first inning yesterday. Im very dissapointed

in Britton. Couldnt even compete. Awful.

Britton looks just as lost as Matusz did last year. Just looks like the lights are way too bright for him right now.

[Arthorn]

I see Kevin Gregg is in. Why don't we take Wieters out? This game is clearly over, give the man some rest.

Considering that Britton allowed 7 Earned Runs as opposed to Chris' 4, I wuld say so.

He's a 24 year old pitching against the toughest offense in the A.L. (save for Texas), in the rain. He sucked today and always sucks against NYY in NY. Not a shocker that this didn't go well.

We've at least gone into NY and won the series. I'll take 2 of 3 in NY every time out. Get some of the starters out if they get any more right now and get them rested for the trip to the Trop.

A chance to sweep the hated Yankees and we come out and look like total garbage. Nice.

[TGO]

Kevin Gregg hasn't pitched in the third inning since 2007.

EDIT: This is not in any way an excuse for him. Was just amused by this fact.
