vs. MARINERS, 8/04

Didn't see the Manny DP in the first, did he hit it hard? Our luck today hasn't been too good Jones missed HR and then he drills one for an out to RF.

[Guest]

Wow that was a strike

[tntoriole]

Way to hang that pitch Chen, lucked out. I would put him right on his rear all this foul, foul, foul. This ump sucks, that pitch was a strike to Markakis in first.

[Norfolk orioles]

My good god these umpires have been horrible!

[Ori-Al]

Lack of plate discipline? Davis and Hardy both worked the count full that inning, and Hardy's AB lasted eight pitches.

So people scream to the heavens when the O's swing at the first pitch, but when they have two nice ABs like Davis and Hardy did, fans still call them pathetic.

Did you see the first two pitches Davis swung at? If he gets ahead two and oh, who knows what kind of pitch he gets ? Maybe he winds up with a walk to load the bases with one out. He did wind up working the count. after that, but he put himself into a hole..

Paul, you're going to get a stroke trying to correct every stupid post. Just put them on Ignore, unless you feel it's your civic duty.

Pitch count increasing rapidly for Chen.

[tntoriole]

Just walk this sob and go to the next guy.

[Morgan423]

At this point, just walk him and reset.

[Malike]

I hope Smoak doesn't win this one.

[Ori-Al]

Chen was being pitch efficient until this guy.

[ExileAngelos]

These long pitch at bats usually don't end well for the pitcher

[Norfolk orioles]

At this point just bounce something and see if he chases.

[TouchemAll]

OK hows this at bat going to end LOL

[Malike]

Jeesh man.
