Fahey better be going down to AAA soon; Awful play! And wtf was hernandez throwing to?

[The Wedge]

Can we please, for the love of god, get a shortstop who can actually PLAY EFFIN SHORTSTOP to the ML level?

[wickedwitch]

Pitch count at 94 could be one reason.

Fair point.

I just feel so bad for Guthrie. There's only one other qualified starter without a win, and that's Nate Robertson with his 6.91 ERA.

[Fairfax Bird]

Ramon Hernandez needs to be benched. I am so tired of his lazy play. He swings at terrible pitches and can't make a throw to save his life.

[mdterps4life25]

Wow that was pretty bad. atleast Fahey got a little somethin on his throw, wtf was Ramon doing?

[itsernst]

Awful throw by Hernandez, that throw was about 5 feet outside of the reach of Albers, a good throw and he would have been out. That is just awful.

Ugh! Another horrible play all the way around. Bad decision/throw by Fahey, bad effort at the plate by Hernandez, nobody backing up the plate, Hernandez slow to go after it and then makes another bad throw! One thing that hasn't changed with this team: when it rains, it pours!

[blueberryale77]

Is it just me or does Huff never look as bad as he's supposed to be in the field? Maybe it's just becuase he hardly ever plays but I really don't think he's much if any below average at first or third (at least since he came to the Orioles).

This is really turning out to be a bad day for me:mad:

I would have to disagree with this. This is the reason why we have such a good record in 1-run games. We've done a very good job at limiting the damage and not allowing the wheels to come off when we're facing adversity.

This last example was reminiscent of last year, but it's a long season. It'll happen, but so far this year they've been few and far between.

It's my birthday, and all I wanted was a win for Guthrie.

Nice job, guys.

Fahey needs to go down, there really is no reason he should be here. A slight breeze and he might go airborne.

We're very good in one run games, but there have been both some good late comebacks and some games that we've lost by sizeable margins. I'm not in any way suggesting we won't or can't come back from this, it just seems like most of the time when one player makes a fielding mistake another one compounds it.

[mdterps4life25]

Yeah i know the response to that is ...."well who are we supposed to bring up? Who will take their place?" But for all of DT's talk of bench players needing to be versatile...why would you have 3 middle infielders that are basically the same player?

whoops i was trying to quote above post ^

He's our secret weapon against Curt Schilling, so he's being kept around to stay sharp until Schilling comes back.
