April 7 - O's vs. M's

[orayole]

Sexs(t)on K's.

[CrimsonTribe]

That K pitch to Sexson was just nasty.

According to Gameday, Cabrera has thrown 2 curveballs, 1 changeup, and 1 slider, and the rest fastballs. Ibanez's homerun was on the lone slider it says.

[FollyFollyToo]

Anita Marks just said, "I just got an email from Roch. Daniel Cabrera gave up 2 home runs, but is having a solid outing and throwing strikes..."...no joke.

[Orioles Magic]

2K's and 2 Hr's by Cabrera this inning. Looks like it will be all or nothing for him today. I guess that is what you get when you just throw heat.

[SoBo]

If he continues like this, I could see him being non-tendered at the end of the season if something doesnt happen before then.

If my man can't get out of the 3rd inning, I'm thinking this thing could end quickly. It's not like we don't have pitching depth in the minors. Maybe he gets it straightened out. But his spring was poor and his stats have continued to slide year over year.

[HeatherC12]

OK, I just followed the Reds where Bronson was pitching batting practice to the Phillies and I really don't care to repeat that with the O's-Mariners game. Settle down Daniel!

[Moose Milligan]

Isn't Silva the one Markakis hit his three bombs off of?

[Three Run Homer]

At least they were only solo homers and not "Three Run Homers.":D

Only the Orioles are allowed to hit Earl Weaver's proverbial "Three Run Homers".

Or, as Gary Thorne would call them, "three-RBI Homers". I'm not sure if Thorne calls a solo HR a "one-RBI homer".

Yep. That 3 HR game.

Play the lottery lately?

[NewMarketSean]

We have to give him a month or so, but if he doesn't straighten himself out, we need to call someone up who will give us a better chance to compete and put CaBBHRera in the pen. I kept waiting for him to turn things around last year and he never did. This year, his leash must be much shorter.

Cabrera makes the bullpen worse. If he flames out as a starter, and he will (already has), release him.

[wickedwitch]

Nice job taking pitches.

LOL No. Do you think I should?!
