Sunday 5/4 Baltimore in Anaheim

[blueberryale77]

Trachsel now has more BBs than any batter on the O's except Markakis (and he has a ridiculous number of walks due to the non-protection factor).

Lance "The Savior" Cormier warning up in the pen. Was that last play an error on Roberts or Hernandez? Official scorer says Hernandez, Joe Angel says Roberts.

Tough call. Roberts skipped the ball, so it could easily be a throwing error, but Hernandez had it in his glove and bobbled it...so it could easily have went either way.

Should be Roberts, he rushed the throw big time. Moot point seeing to how Matthews made a bone headed play and ran through the base and ended up making an out anyway.

Eh, it really doesn't matter. Hopefully all the players (and Shelby) have learned a lesson from it. You run normal speed until you're absolutely sure it's out.

Fair enough. My only point is that Ramon really didn't do anything different than every other ballplayer. He just saw the play wrong so it caught up with him.

[Palmer Esque]

He might have nothing, but he got us through the 2nd (even if he had some help from Matthews) without another run scored. And they did get Cormier up, so he's obviously on a short leash. But you gotta see how far he can get you.

I agree, it just seems like most of the time it ends up biting us in the butt when let a pitcher "settle down" and puts the game out of reach, but I am hoping Trax settles down here and keeps us in it.

LOL I knew we'd be seeing him today. When it rains it pours.

[The Wedge]

Coulda used one of those with people on base, but I'll take it anyway.

Sweet sweet swing by Mora right there. Man, that was just smooth as silk. Looked a lot like Melvin in his prime.

[scOtt]

I still say you let Trax gut this one out. As long as you can stand to.

HA HA! Melvin witht the first pitch of the inning jack!

[Palmer Esque]

Yeah Melvin , man the ball is carrying today (minus Ramon's)

[McNulty]

I'm gonna demand that we come up with some sorta underhanded compliment style nickname for Cormier.

Edit: I've always thought "Turbo" was a good name for Trachsel.

[Orioles Magic]

WOW... Way to go Mel Mo.

What, "The Savior" doesn't work for you?

[The Rick]

Melvin and I have a love-hate relationship. Right now I love him.
