vs. ANGELS, 7/30

[Rich Mac]

We still have the lead ... let's run up the pitch count on Richards and make the Angels pen work early tonight.

[Tbone83]

Wow. Hope somebody has a chat with him in the dugout. Don't know if he was thinking of a no hitter already or what but those walks are inexcusable.

[Ruzious]

Gotta give the kid credit. It could have been the worst inning of his life, but he struck out one of the game's best to keep the lead and end the inning.

We need him to go 2 more good innings.

Joseph visited the mound after the second walk.

I was remarking on the at time overboard criticism of the O's currently injured catcher.

[Reboulet'sStache]

He's got three different fastballs and a change and a slider.

He has no slider. He has an idea of the theory behind throwing a slider.

[SteveO]

He's got 4 pitches we've been told.

Yes because its totally uncommon for rookies to rely on their two strongest pitches...never happens...:scratchchinhmm:

[slakattack]

Missed that... must have been when I was screaming in the closet.

[TonySoprano]

10 mins ago it looked like we'd coast. Now

Two fastballs, slider, two change ups.

Damn it Trout.

[Can_of_corn]

Same umpire in first three innings. Yes, he got squeezed on a couple, but that didnt walk three hitters in a row and go 3 balls on the next guy.

It didn't walk the first two, it certainly walked the third.

[mad4comp]

And the hitters go down promptly... go figure.

[Bradysburns]

So do the Orioles take a few pitches this inning or come out hacking with the small strike zone heavily confirmed?

I was driving and listening... Were they pinching Gausman? It sure sounded like it. Joe Angel kept marveling at the ump not giving KG the low part of the strike zone. Seriously - bring on the electric eye umps. If they're pinching, it sickens me that umps can impact the game that way.

You can, but the margin for error becomes smaller.
