vs. RED SOX, 6/14

[Tony-OH]

That was a good inning overall. 49 pitches through three is not great though.

Eck talks a lot of crap for a guy whose team is losing at the moment. Great reliever but it seems like from you're saying he unlike his O's Hall of Fame counterpart, Palmer, he's not as knowledgeable.

Eck has probably forgotten something in his life.

[Tony-OH]

Eck: ZOMG Tillman hardly has a windup! Wouldn't you think yuo can throw harder with more of a windup? Isn't he supposed to be 95??!!?!?1 GJEROGJEg

God, shut up. Do some research. You are not the pitching coach. You don't know the history of Tillman.

Someone should tell Eck he averaged 92.2 MPH last year on his fastball.

Seriously, it's amazing the number of RBI opportunities (and RBIs) Adam Jones is taking away from CD by making the last out of an inning with men on base.

I do not have the numbers but it appears that every game this happens once or twice.

Drinking problems right?

[Can_of_corn]

True that. If he keeps up this 300+ average though and the power, he's going to be at least be in the conversation and I honestly can't remember the last time the O's had a legitimate MVP candidate. Know Ripken won in 1991.

Oh he will get plenty of votes if the O's are in the hunt and his approximate level of play continues.

Ha, just thought about it. I'll just go upstairs and tell him.

[ACDC27]

I'm at the game nice crowd here tonight. Lots more Orange than blue and red.

Yea, but that was more of a joke at Palmer's expense.

IN BETWEEN INNINGS

A really cool story.

Nice story.

Eck: You can't tell me the O's aren't concerned about their pitching staff.

Eck: The Sox have a WAY better OBP than the Orioles.

I know it's annoying but both are true. Boston leads the league in OBP and OPS.

[Palmoripken]

Yea, but that was more of a joke at Palmer's expense.

Ah my bad.

[Tony-OH]

This was my pre-game tweet "Ryan Flaherty took extra pre-game batting practice and softoss working on going the other way. Let's see if it pays off tonight."

First AB = no

[Big#3fan]

Big double right here Manny

[Palmoripken]

Well el grande ladron is on first with less than two outs. Let's see if Manny's got

another two hit game in him.
