vs. ROYALS, 5/17

[mrbig1]

I said this 20 times already. This is the game JJ goes deep.

[scOtt]

Our other closer Muijca has an 8 plus ERA.

A-hole killed my 'Topes early on! Dumped like a bad hand!

[Teddy OBP]

Fortunately, Buck isn't there to do the post game presser. Because if he was, I guaran-damn-tee you would have heard it.

Heaven forbid there be a little courtesy among rivals. Manny actually tipped his cap to their 2nd baseman after the ridiculous play he made last night. Was that a bad thing too?!

[Juanvald]

Only the Royals and Angels have less runs in the AL. They also have by far the lowest walk percentage in the majors (4.6%... Adam Jones-esque). They're also 28th in doubles. But they're 2nd in singles. So while they have a lot of homers the majority are most likely solos.

Good point. I forgot to split it up by league. That makes the stats fall more in line with how the team has been playing.

Duffy lucky it was only a single.

[weams]

Nice at bat.

[MrOrange82]

Cruz gets leadoff single. Other Orioles look up from their chessboards...mystified.

He will be coming up with a two game hitting streak on the line, or so I have heard.

Their shortstop.

[O's are Legends]

Duffy still in? Hm, I think HR here.

I wish, when is last time Duffy has allowed a HR 70 innings ago? I'll take a hr or a few hits this inning. Cruz starting it with a crisp single.

[Il BuonO]

With their BP it was a mistake to run him out there this inning.

[weams]

Lough to pinch run?

[VeveJones007]

My confidence in JJ's bat is pretty low at the moment. I would strongly consider bunting here.

[VeveJones007]

Lough to pinch run?

I would think so.

[Il BuonO]

Though this is also a nice move.
