vs. Texas 7/8 Bust a move.

[Jonesy10]

Yeah, it's just us. I see a team that isn't smiling or enjoying itself.

That's not usually a great sign. When you've been watching baseball a while, you start to pick up little things like that. No one is having fun. That means something's up in the clubhouse usually.

They seemed to be smiling during their 4 game winning streak last week...

Why, oh why, is Flaherty swinging at the first bloody pitch from a pitcher that nobody's seen, yet?

If you want patient hitters then you acquire patient hitters.

They acquired Flaherty so that is what they get.

[LookitsPuck]

Still can't believe this team is carrying Flaherty, Roberts, Casilla, AND Reimold. We send down the one bat that was doing wonderfully against lefties (Valencia with 282/317/487 - 804) for a guy that doesn't deserve to be on this team (Reimold).

Over/under on Roberts hit distance... 100 feet?

If you really are an Orioles fan....which I doubt, you are a disgrace. You mostly post negative stuff and seem to thrive when the O's are struggling. I'm sure you wouldn't actually say the things you post if you were sitting in the stands. That would take balls, of which you have none. I would refuse to sit beside a loser like you at the yard. I would rather leave early than be associated with someone like you.

The pitch was up, it was a changeup, bet he wasn't looking for that.

Once again, why does Roberts deserve to be here more then Reimold?

If you have a problem with one you should have a problem with both.

[Norfolk orioles]

Ps we can hit joe Nathan. I've seen us do it before!

[Jonesy10]

Nice catch by Flaherty. He needs to be starting at 2nd every day against RHPs.

[MDK02]

Say what you want about Flaherty and Casilla at the plate, but they are money in the field. Outstanding defensive players IMO.

[callahan09]

Excellent play by Flaherty. I really wish Buck would play him more often since Roberts came back. I feel like his bat is liable to get cold but we know he is capable of heating up and his defense is too good not to have out there.

You're reaching. When you've been watching and playing baseball for a while(like I have been too!) you realize that teams go through ups and downs. Peaks and valleys. That's baseball.

[Hallas]

Notice I said supposedly?

I don't believe them.

Fair enough.

They probably are being (mostly) truthful. It's just that mechanics/body language are likely to give the same results as pitch count monitoring unless you are Randy Johnson or CC Sabathia.

[Jonesy10]

Top of the order coming up. Lets do some damage. We need Crush to step up against his old team.

[Norfolk orioles]

They seemed to be smiling and enjoying themselves after the win yesterday. I'm fine with a focused team that is all business when they are on the field.

95% of that game was played with negative body language and frowns.

The outcome was great.......but up until jones's dinger things didnt look great in that dugout.

.

Jeremy Guthrie has thrown 6 shutout innings against the Yankees so far.

They had a 1-hour rain delay earlier in the game.

Ned Yost brought Guthrie back out after the delay, but Girardi did not bring Phil Hughes back.
