vs. Blue Jays 5/24

[CA-ORIOLE]

Tillman has thrown 76 pitches. Nolin threw 35 and Ortiz has thrown 57. Somehow, amazingly, he is staying alive.

Would be nice to see him go 5 IP to be in line for the win. He's still pitching up in the zone, but not every pitch up in the zone is going to be a HR. Just about 10-20% of them, depending on the batter.

Amazingly, he has no walks and 5 K's.

I can't believe that the Jays stadium is only three years older than OPACY.

It looks like a dump.

How big of a lead do we need for Strop to pitch?

[weams]

That was pretty.

At least it's got the retractable roof. I don't know if people still get the "special shows" from people in the hotel though :laughlol:

[O's84]

Yeah, he was on the verge of being completely out of control.

I was really hoping he'd go on field and go berserk.

[allquixotic]

Ugh. Boneface with a push bunt. A double play would be like a good massage to Tillman right now.

[LA2]

Wow, Canada is really not concerned with representing itself well these two games.

And Canadians have such a reputation for being polite. And Lawrie's a real Canadian.

[elextrano8]

Canada and everything associated with it just doesn't make any sense.

Seriously! I can only imagine they were booing Rasmus on that K, because if they were booing the call I'd say that Mr. Rasmus, meth or no, did not appear to disagree with the call.

[O's84]

Why don't we call Kevin Gregg and we can talk it over.

[LA2]

Not one of those pitches appeared to be in the zone.

The called strikes on Lawrie?

[CA-ORIOLE]

Nice Curve.

[bdlj0887]

I was really hoping he'd go on field and go berserk.

I don't see how you can go so crazy knowing there are 162 games a year to be played. It's odd.

[Il BuonO]

I've asked this question before regarding Pitch Fx, but is there a standard box or zone? Or does it account for the height and size of each player? It should. It makes a difference if Wieters is standing up tall in the box at 6'5" or Lawrie is crouching in the box at 5'10" or whatever he is.

It looks like a dump.

How big of a lead do we need for Strop to pitch?

Same size as for Patton.

Tillman's secondary pitches have looked great tonight.
