vs. RANGERS, 4/15

[Can_of_corn]

Our starting pitching is starting to look like we thought coming into the season. luckily we can score some runs so we are not out of things, but two games in a row where the starting pitcher gives up a five spot is demoralizing.

One start in which the pitcher has gone 6IP?

[MdSooner]

5 runs on 3 hits

ridiculous

Jim said the error goes against jones instead of Joseph. What? Really?

On a tag play, that was not a terrible throw. On a force throw, sure. Only complication was Caleb taking his eye off the ball to probably see where the runner (or his positioning with the plate collision rule). That's on him. Should be Caleb's error. Tough play, but not the fault of the Jones throw, imho.

Worley can't do anything about an umpire with a 50% miss rate on balls and strikes. At least one of the walks was an at bat with five strikes and two balls. I didn't think in an era of pitch tracking umps were allowed to be that bad and still keep their jobs.

Worley appears to be a prime candidate to be DFA once KG is ready to go.

Personally I think he nailed his coffin with this disaster. He'll pass through waivers no problem. Probably better in a long relief role anyways.

[allquixotic]

None of the starters do.

That's a bit of an overreaction. I think our other starters are more capable than they've shown themselves to be thus far. Tillman, Gallardo and Ubaldo can and will do better.

We just need Gausman and Bundy in, and Wright and Worley out.

[WEAVERMAN]

Matusz to replace McFarland, KG to replace Worley, the rotation is Tillman, Gallardo, U,KG and Wilson, once Wright is gone,

The first team that the Orioles played have scored 14 runs in 9 games Rays have not been hitting much either.

respectfully disagree. it was good enough

Throw off line requiring catcher to go get it then spin to tag. Nick throws that guy out most every time.

Bundy is not ready yet.

I'm a big Joseph fan but part of me thinks wieters would have made both those plays.

Texas owns us. Good thing we came into this series up 6 games - we might only come back up 2.

Also, Worley is not a major league pitcher, not that I've seen anyone accuse him of being one. He'll be cut and (hopefully) gone for good when KG returns.

Sure he can, make a guy miss. Throw quality strikes that aren't borderline so he doesn't have to worry about bad calls costing him. Umpires have sucked, but no more than Worley.

[Tony-OH]

The Orioles may have the only pair of RH starting pitchers in the MLB that throw less than 90 consistently in Worley and Gallardo.
