vs. Royals 5/18

[nevadaO]

Ok Nick, the pressure is on SHIELDS right now, work the count and get your pitch!

Who knew Schoop could bunt?

Buck, evidently.

I hate to be a pessimist but we're pretty bad on Sunday.

e: 1-5 so far.

And we are 5-1 on Thursdays. And neither stat means anything.

A bases-loaded walk would work.

Ha, that bird on the wire of the netting behind home plate looked like it was a gigantic bird on the field.

Hunter: Hardy will love that. "They're worried about me!"

Palmer: No they're not.

My brain doesn't understand what just happened. Apart from the fact that Nick hit another single.

[Il BuonO]

I think most of the team's hitters carry poor approaches at the plate, and most people have down years. Maybe this is one of AJ's. I don't expect Chris Davis to hit 50 HRs again. Wieters is hurt (possibly for the entire year). Hardy's dealt with injuries that seem to have affected his hitting. Machado tailed off badly during the second half of 2013, and he's coming back from a major injury. Schoop is a rookie. Cruz has already been playing well over his head going by his career averages. Markakis is what he is. Fairly solid singles hitter.

Where's the major correction coming from?

You are saying pretty much what I've been thinking, but do you think Davis is likely to hit even 30 HR at this point?

Fear the single!

[Ori-Al]

That'll work, too.

[weams]

Oh, no, we have the bases-loaded. I hope that's not the death sentence for us again.

Nick had a nice approach. Lough hustled, so did Schoop.

[TouchemAll]

OK thank you Nicky!!! that's how its done :2yay-thumb:

[mrbig1]

[WEAVERMAN]

Oh let's go Orioles.
