vs. Texas Rangers, 6/5

[Aristotelian]

He's not hurt, he's just not a good pitcher. Could be another 30-3 Massacre.

Isn't he pitching on short rest? Miguel was originally scheduled for this game. I really don't like short rest.

We are what we are, a .500 ballclub.

you stole my quote, but I really, really hope I was wrong

No, he's pitching on regular four days' rest. His last start was May 31.

He is, but he hasn't been good since the beginning of April. He'll likely be our worst starter this season if he keeps trending the way he is.

Edit: He's pitching on 4 days rest.

4 really pretty blondes in the 4th or 5th row. And another one walks in.

He is just aweful this year in the first inning. Is he injured or do we need to talk to a sports psychologist?

[Jonesy10]

We are what we are, a .500 ballclub.

Well they are playing at an 85 win pace with all 5 of their starters pitching much worse than last season, Hardy not having a HR, Wieters missing almost 40 games, and Machado, Jones, and Davis all vastly undeperforming offensively. So yeah, with pretty much nothing going right, they're still an 85 win team.

You told him I was gonna throw a curve?

Yup.

[oriolesmagic9]

Ok. We're good....

[Jonesy10]

Don't give up anything else Chris. Get your crap together and pitch like you can.

[Guest]

Why cant we hit guys with 5 plus ERA for real?

[24fps]

A very Oriolesesque inning by the Rangers. 2 runs in, 2 on and nobody out and they can't push another run across.

In short... we're still very much in the game.

Wow Tillman and the first inning.... he should get his act together. Stop this nonsense. Let's get on the board.
