4/29 Rays at O's: battle for first place

[Palmer Esque]

According to Roch's blog, he is throwing around 89 basically, but did it 91 on the K against Upton. But his ball moves alot, which is just as important anyway, probably more important.

Any word on the starter for tomorrow nigth?

I heard they were thinking about bringing Olson back tomorrow given how he's pitched tonight.

[Orioles Magic]

Crawford couldn't hold on to the B-Rob double.

[Witchy_Chick]

WOW. What happened to Crawford? He looked terrible on that play......

The Rays can't catch any clams tonight!

Good job Mora on the Sac Fly. 4-0 Birds. Lets go Nick.

You don't know what I'm saying because you don't know how that play works.

I think Scorpio has it right. It was a hit and run, the runner had a head start, and the play was right in front of LH.

Most of the time, that ball is cut off and thrown to 2B

It's called being human.

So far Luis is responding to his ultimatum well at the plate. 2 for 3 with 2 runs and good baserunning choices both times he's been on base.

You're always in trouble when you have to explain your joke.

"Thurston" Howell just got voted off the island.

[Hank Scorpio]

You don't know what I'm saying because you don't know how that play works.

I can't resist.

1. It was a hit and run with a relatively competent baserunner at first and the ball wasn't hit all that hard. Sam Friggin' Horn coulda made third base on that play.

2. The batter was in no man's land between 1st and 2nd base, right in front of Hernandez, who would have been accepting the throw from the right fielder.

3. There was 1 out and we were up 2-0.

So please, explain to me what I'm missing.

I didn't see it, so I don't know what happened... but am I to understand that all this fussin' is about what LH did (or didn't do) about cutting off a throw? Do I have that part right? That's what the big deal is?

[Keith SIO]

Let's wreck their pen tonight.

I grew up on the Eastern Shore. Can't resist throwing down a little aquaculture humor.
