vs. ATHLETICS 9-15

[Il BuonO]

He threw 5 straight fast balls because he got down 2-0 with the bases loaded. Nowhere to put him.

He got even in the count after 2-0, he could have thrown a CU, CB or Slider which is what he got him to foul off later in the AB. My point was in response to what Malike said about other teams fouling off pitches. I after with that and have noticed this before tonight. I think Frobby was the one who had previously commented in another game thread that that he is deceptive with his FB and I agree, but he still needs to mix it up to be effective.

That's probably off the scoreboard in Camden Yards

Please tell me it's not...it's not...it's.....ahh..Chavez.

[Malike]

You know you're flawed as a team when you have to rely on Endy Chavez to save you.

[WEAVERMAN]

Endy? C'mon Endy, keep it going, you can do it, you're a professional.

[tntoriole]

Oh no not Endy

[O's84]

Please tell me it's not...it's not...it's.....ahh..Chavez.

I'm with you there man.

[isestrex]

Sigh... the fate of the game in Endy's choppy bat

[Nigel Tufnel]

The sad thing is, I'm not sure if there are better options than Endy.

Balfour 2 nights in a row has gotten away with some bad pitches.

[adam_jonzin']

He's good for a chopper up the middle - who knows.

[Va Beach O's fan]

WTF buck???? Seriously???? Why not Teagarden???? Or anyone other than Chavez.

Buck is an overrated in game manager.

Period.

[scOtt]

Free pass, 2nd and 3rd! HIT IT!

[isestrex]

You know you're flawed as a team when you have to rely on Endy Chavez to save you.

Or just unlucky with injuries as Markakis and Reimold are ahead of him on the depth chart.

[eddie83]

Why don't you make him throw you a strike.
