Gamboa was removed from the game with 1 out in the 8th inning.

He struck out the first batter of the inning before giving up an infield single to Justin Howard, which broke up his no-hitter.

He had little margin for error, as Bowie scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the 6th inning. Gamboa left the game with a 1-0 lead.

Here's a link of milb.com. He said he threw the knuckler about 60% of the time. I know this is the first year he's throwing it, but I thought Knuckleballers were supposed to throw it like 90% of the time.

I'm pretty sure he didnt start throwing it until after season began, so hes transitioning it in. I think the plan is for him to throw it more and more as the season goes on.

With Eddie's turn Friday 6-28 rained out and with Chen likely to make a rehab start tonight, it looks like Eddie's next start would probably be during tomorrow's double-header vs. Harrisburg. It's possible that Harper could do another rehab game Sunday so maybe Eddie can strike him out three or four times. :mwahaha:

Wow Eddie es en fuego!

He must have really developed that knuckler.

Last inning, he made one of the Senators hitters fall down in a futile strike three flail-swing. :)

Congrats to Eddie Gamboa on tossing a no-no! :clap3::clap3::clap3:

    • Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?
    • So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?  
    • There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time 
    • Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story. 
    • Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy. 
    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
