vs. WHITE SOX, 7/05

[Jonesy10]

Four walks. None scored. Not good. Especially when it seems every time an O's pitcher walks someone they score.

How many Oriole starters have strike out the side stuff?

Jimenez and Britton. That's it.

Didn't Tillman strike out the side in the first inning of the first ALDS game last year?

Did you mean Gausman or did you mean just Jimenez?

Actually striking out the side is not what I mean by striking out the side stuff.

Rodon has a real bright future.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's make the 6th our big inning.

Yankee announcer just said Tampa batted around in an inning when 9 men came to the plate.

I'm just sayin

The first four words of this post just removed all credibility from it.

Yes, if he can command his pitches.

Me, I think he should still be in the minors. I guess they don't have a lot of options.

I agree he should be, but maybe the experience will help him. He's handling our free swingers pretty well.

I think Britton has strike out the side stuff simply because his balls moves so much. He won't do it a lot, but I see a lot of swings and misses when he pitches and very few foul balls. His sinker is so dominant, he doesn't even try to use the slider enough to slow hitters down. If he wanted to, he could strike out more than he does. And he has 41 in 34.2 innings this year which is impressive.

I did forget about Gausman. He has the stuff, but still needs work on how to use it.

The juvenile in me found this hilarious. I absolutely know what you meant, but the 13 year old in me just came out.

[WEAVERMAN]

This is our chance to break out, go Orioles.

But I specified starters, that is what had me confused.

O'Day has strike out the side stuff this year, he has done it twice that I can recall.

Well it is nice they are not jerking him around and disrupting his schedule and role.
