ALDS Game 2: Yankees @ Orioles "Singing in the Rain Part Deux"

[ACDC27]

These guys are human they are going to make mistakes.

Way to go Chen - 6 strong innings. Does Buck put him out there for the 7th?

JJ Hardy trying his best to keep the Yankees in the game my god

This is a really good question. He looks really good right now. Doesn't he have a recent history of collapsing in the 7th?

[DrungoHazewood]

Seriously I have a white noise machine on right now. Cal is still my hero.

[tntoriole]

It snaked on him, right Cal?

Most fans would just think he missed it. Lol

[Gurgi]

It seems the pressure has finally gotten to the Orioles. They are playing tight and boneheaded. NO one seems capable of stepping up.

Chen has been nails. Amazing.

Clutch performance, though I'm not too surprised. His fatigue was blown way out of proportion. As Palmer said, nobody physically prepares themselves better than Chen.

Funny how Cal has no comments about grass when Hardy makes the error

[WEAVERMAN]

Can we please get 3 more runs, we can do it. PRETTY PLEASE

[Billy Button]

Said it before I'll say it again: Cal = Joe Morgan. Duhhhhhh!

[Bradysburns]

i think u pull chen now. He has done his job. leave it to the pen.

Here's the thing... Chen has sucked from the 7th inning on.

I'm hoping that Buck has an ultra-short leash. Chen allows one baserunner and you pull him. HOwever, I would let Chen start the 7th because it's so cool and he's probably pretty amped and feeling relatively fresh. If he can pitch a complete game, let him. Not that I expect that, mind you.

.

Didn't someone start a thread asking that we please tell him that Chen pitching tonight's game was an error ???

[BaltBird 24]

Wieters up to........

[El Gordo]

So, Tex didn't flub it but Hardy did. I'm really thinking someone from the Orioles should call Cal and be like "excuse yourself if you want to the fans to ever cheer you again..."

Cal, "That Derek Jeter is the best all around SS I have ever seen, sorry Cal....Hey wait!"

[jjnono]

Chen's last two innings pretty excellent. He's given up 0 ER to the mighty yankees through 6. Shouldn't be too hard to find something positive to say about him.

Yep, with one very notable exception, our pitching has been excellent.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get the long ball back, c'mon Matty.
