April 10, Game 1, at Texas

Trachsel made another deal to the devil to pitch like this. We're going to flip him to the Braves for Jason Heyward and Jair Jurrjens. You heard it here first.

I would think awful hard about pulling Trachsel now.

Sounds to me like they're keeping him in for now against Young that is.

[furryburres]

Kinsler with the crucial steal.

I would think awful hard about pulling Trachsel now.

Well I am with you. I hope it's not too late.

[MurphDogg]

This looks like it may be Trachsel's last hitter.

[NOVA OriolesFan]

Gotta get Young right now.

[NOVA OriolesFan]

2-1 game agh.

[MurphDogg]

Damn. This would be a tough loss for Trax if it holds up.

[weams]

A batter too late. Great outing though. We'll need to to do the comeback thingy

[Tony-OH]

Ok, this is the first time this year I'm going to really second guess Trembley. With a base open, Young at the plate, Walker in thebullpen and the left-handed hitter on deck, i think you have to walk Young and then bring in Walker to face Hamilton.

Not sure why Trembley was pushing Trachshel in this situation.

[NOVA OriolesFan]

Trax had a good game. Wish we had gotten him more runs.

[MurphDogg]

I saw that coming. I'm not sure why Trembley decided to press Trachsel this far. First time this year I've really questioned a pitching decision. It was relatively minor though.

Double header. Can't pull a pitcher who hasn't given up an earned run through six and is under 100 pitches when you have at least 12 more innings to play today. Could have pitched around Young though.

[baseballnelie]

You can still pull him because you know what Trachsel is capable of and what he usually does pitching. To complete the 7th inning would be a stretch for him I thought coming into this game. I agree that he should've walked him and brought up the next batter for a possible double play

[MurphDogg]

Ditto, when Kinsler stole the base I thought it was a no brainer. To be honest, I would have pulled him for Bierd against Young. Young hits into a lot of double plays.

I believe Bierd wasn't warming at all this inning, just in the 6th.

[NOVA OriolesFan]

Oh no. Good back up by Walker though.
