Sunday 5/4 Baltimore in Anaheim

[scOtt]

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

It's the desert in the daytime. Expect every ball to JUMP off the bat today.

[McNulty]

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

Totally works for me, but as the resident king o' sarcasm there Wedge, I know you (or someone else) can take that up a notch.

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.

Ramon has always had a habit of flipping his bat and taking really slow home run trots. Most major leaguers (and players at any level) get out of the box a lot faster than he does on homers. I don't think that play that happened to him would have happened to most players.

[The Wedge]

On the replay of the Hernandez botch, he didn't realize it wasn't a homer until he was almost 3/4 to second.

Even BRob's bouncer jumps for a hit.

Need a quick inning from Trax here

[Wadesworld35]

Wow the O's are attacking Saunders early in the at-bats. Is that the work of a scouting report showing lots of first pitch fast balls or just indicative of our usual impatience?

[Orioles Magic]

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.

Lance "Big Cajones" Cormier

Good question. Saunders' numbers aren't stellar before today. And today ain't lookin' so good...

Big box drums?

Have "quick" and "Trax" ever been used in the same sentence?

[The Wedge]

Have "quick" and "Trax" ever been used in the same sentence?

Of course.

"Trachsel pitched poorly and had a quick exit."

That's been said tons of times.

[McNulty]

Have "quick" and "Trax" ever been used in the same sentence?

That's why he should be called Turbo

[scOtt]

Trax got lucky there. Missed big time in Vlad's wheelhouse.

[The Rick]

Have "quick" and "Trax" ever been used in the same sentence?

I see there being only one possibility of this... and I aint going there. Ugh, what is wrong with me!
