vs. D-RAYS, 9/05

[JohnBKistler]

Longoria out of the game (hit by pitch in the 1st).

[Ruzious]

Kramer went back on the highway with the gas valve showing negative.

[weams]

Ubaldo the great.

[Ruzious]

Shall we try Ubaldo for 7? -giggle giggle-

Ubaldo post ASB break 31.2 IP 13 ER 4 HR 3.69 ERA

[allquixotic]

Who is she? I need to do a little "R&D" and could benefit from a name.

[scOtt]

Hard to believe there's a hurricane lurking offshore. PRISTINE blue skies here in Wayne's Bar. Not a cloud in sight.

That works.

I say yeah. But Dickerson and LoMo are coming up. He's been scared of the lefties a little.

[JohnBKistler]

He's retired 16 of the last 17. What would you do?

[allquixotic]

I feel like two factors are at work:

• Ubaldo has been generally better with repeating his mechanics since the ASB.
  
• The Rays are absolutely deflated that we chased their starter with a 5-spot in the 5th.
  

Maybe we'll get some value out of U after all. If he can help us in September (and October...?!) that'll be huge, even if he forgets how to pitch again next year.

Eddie could not throw a strike the other night. Why do the Orioles keep swinging?

Cuz we might hit one to the bejesus belt!

I want more runs, but if not that at least some OK at bats would be nice.

[scOtt]

Trumbo walkbo!
