Prince Fielder has a herniated disc.

Received the injection after complaining of stiffness a lack of strength in his left arm over the course several weeks.

Projected to only miss a couple games at this point.

Ends his consecutive game streak at something around 547.

Yeah, it's the lack of strength thingy. How many more years he got on that contract? We are so fortunate that some folk here were not Orioles decision makers at the time.

Way to make him work Nick.

I think some folks don't realize the game is early tonight.

Think how lucky Detroit was to get out of that contract before he completely crumbled.

"Two game hitting streak."

That was ugly.

Well early for Missouri.

Nothing like a good old 6 pitch inning against a guy that walks about 5 batters per 9 innings. Maybe Jones and Markakis should take some pitches since they obviously haven't hit great this year.

Brooks' Birthday tomorrow. If we can win tonight we are SOOOO sweeping tomorrow! 77.

Still my childhood idol :thumbsup1:

[terps19]

Is this supposed to be someone I should know?

[terps19]

I think Bud Norris has to have one of the lowest first pitch strike rates in all of baseball... Majors, Minors, Korea, Japan, Mexico

[Jonesy10]

Nobody in the lineup tonight besides Cruz is slugging over .418. I absolutely hate Aoki too FWIW.
