Another great thread.

Let me help you a tad with Norris:

Bud Norris - RHP (9-10, 3.93 ERA)

[3-1, 3.91 ERA] (ORIOLES) OO [6-9, 3.93 ERA] (ASTROS)

Why is Roberts playing 2B and Flaherty DH'ing? I'm one of the bigger Roberts supporters here, but that just doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah...that's pretty much unexplainable

Time for some Bud (Norris).......or, whatever.

[Norfolk orioles]

Fantastic play there by Bud.

[schittenden]

Good evening, folks.

[Norfolk orioles]

Man that is unlucky.

[Malike]

Seems our luck still stinks.

[Jonesy10]

Lol. Typical Orioles. Starting off a big series terribly. Why expect anything else?

[MDK02]

Well, we're going to need more than 1 run to win, no biggie. Get the bats going now.

Why do you post here?

I mean seriously?

Yep.

All is well. Momentary hiccup.

How is it terrible not the results you want but Oakland got lucky that ball is another foot to the left Davis and another feet to right it goes by him and Roberts knocks it down. He couldn't have rolled that out in a better position it was vvery unlucky and a tough break.
