Brian Roberts makes first road trip of the spring 3/19 vs Red Sox in Ft Myers

[NCRaven]

Yes, that would be ideal. I am still not sure that tinkering with Matusz delivery a couple of years ago didn't cause damage.

I understand your point. Just think we read to much into things sometimes. I'm sure I do it myself. I'm just sure that when I do it, I'm right.

Pridie groundout scores Manny. Roberts walks.

4-1.

Somehow Buck Britton ended up on 3B.

Hey, Gameday says the run scored on a balk. True?

[Can_of_corn]

That's good to see. He's been struggling a lot this spring. That's only his 2nd XBH of ST. He does have 7 walks though.

The seven walks have me not worried about the BA. If the process is correct his talent will allow him to shine.

[Il BuonO]

If Ortiz had played, you could have counted 2-3 more K's for Brian.

Maybe, I was commenting more about the toughness of their overall lineup than the lack of it.

You know how everyone gets caught up in little minor stuff that they should be able to let slide?

I think Buck is like that with TTTP. I feel that it should be well down on the list of priorities for pitchers.

So yes, if I can make a little joke about his fixation on it I will. At least until I am convinced that I am the only one that finds them amusing.

Also worth noting that the lineup was pretty stacked with RHBs, who Matusz supposedly can't get out. The only lefties today were Ellsbury and Sweeney (who had two of the six hits off Matusz).

There you go.

He's destined for the pen though, right?

Flaherty singles home 2 runs, by the way. The Roberts steal pays off, it's 6-1.

Old man Roberts with TWO steals today? Someone had a little hop in his step.

That will happen when Salty is catching.

DEREK JETER SCRATCHED FROM LINEUP WITH SORE ANKLE

The same ankle that he broke last October in the A.L.C.S.

That'll do it for Schlereth, who gives up 2 runs and 5 hits in 0.1 IP. 7.50 ERA on the spring.

Adam Russell on. 7.11 ERA on the spring.

At least he didn't walk anyone.

[Hank Scorpio]

8 hits in one inning! Impressive.

[PaulFolk]

So what you're saying is...Daniel Schlereth and Adam Russell won't be the Orioles' 8th and 9th inning guys this year?

Am I the only one who gets irritated when the O's are winning in the part of the game where the regulars are pitching, and then give up the lead when it's scrubeenie time? It's meaningless, and yet it pisses me off!
