C'mon Huff Daddy, jack one!

[EddieO's21]

that is such a stupid call with a 2 run lead

[The Rick]

I wouldn't mind them bring on Johnson to get to Sherrill. But I'd have no issues with allowing Guthrie to finish.

Finish? It'd take 125+ pitches for Guthrie to finish. That's just not happening.

Costly steal by Mora now with the Huff two bagger over Vlad's head.

[J.D.]

And if the runner hadn't gotten thrown out, that would've been a run. How many times have we seen that so far this year?

[JTrea81]

Ugh another aggressive out on the basepaths...

[JTrea81]

Ramon is batting with a RISP, I like these odds...

Back in my day, pitchers did this all the time.

*shrugs* I just don't have a warm fuzzy about many guys in the bullpen right now.

how about a late night fill in the blank:

melvin mora is the worst orioles baserunner since ______

I hear ya, trust me. It's just not how it's done anymore. If he were conditioned and used to this type of pitch count that'd be one thing, but pitchers just aren't used to doing that anymore.

I agree with Buck's point. The lack of offensive prowess for the O's forces us to be aggressive on the basepath's. I don't have a problem there with that decision.

earlier in the game, when he did great... jeez, people...

[J.D.]

how about a late night fill in the blank:

melvin mora is the worst orioles baserunner since ______

Jay Gibbons.

[JTrea81]

Ok Millar here's your chance...

And he can't do it...

[J.D.]

how about a late night fill in the blank:

melvin mora is the worst orioles baserunner since ______

Here's one. How about:

Melvin Mora is the best Orioles defensive third baseman since __________

[EddieO's21]

well that inning was just stupid coaching

[Why Not?]

It's pretty common strategy to try and assure a run at this point. One extra run is very valuable but playing for a big inning is overkill.
