vs. ASTROS 5/29

[Chavez Ravine]

They won't give Cruz anything good here with an open base and no one else doing anything.

Cruz don't care about that.

[stef]

Thank goodness for Cruz!

[TouchemAll]

Cruz our 8 million $$ man and all our offense

[orioleslist]

Cruz adjusting to the shift--something some of his teammates could learn from...

[Guest]

Are f-ing not! Why not try to think positively?

I'm trying trust me.

[isestrex]

That's actually very crappy pitching. You know your infield is shifted like that and so you pitch low and away?

[O's84]

And Cruz just proves again...that he is the ONLY thing right about this offense outside of Pearce (and Markakis).

Yep, if this team is to contend they need Davis to be Davis.

[LookitsPuck]

Lineup change:

Nick Markakis

Steve Pearce

Nelson Cruz

Adam Jones

Chris Davis

JJ Hardy

Manny Machado

Ryan Flaherty/Jonathan Schoop (ideally neither, bring up Lombardozzi)

Hundley/Joseph

[scOtt]

Well, I was wrong. Astros 1 Baltimore Cruz 1

You're quick on the trigger, Roy....

[LookitsPuck]

Hundley - 6 pitches, 2 swinging strike outs...right? (my bad, it was Hardy...disregard).

[fansince71]

How far in dead last would we be W/O Cruz. Crimany

[weams]

Cruzzzzzzzzz once again no clue why teams pitch to him with Hardy on deck.

Because Hardy is batting .420 over the last 12 days?

I still take my chances with Hardy.

Hitters need to start using their brain. I am not saying you change who you are but for crying out loud go with the pitch. Heck your odds of not getting a hit are slim almost.

A 1-2-3 inning be nice here.
