vs. D-RAYS, 9/05

[mrbig1]

Trumbo out.

Drew Stubbs. Substitution.

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

Trumbo took 2 and got this for his troubles:

[scOtt]

Trumbo PROUD that they threw over on him! :rofl:

[Ruzious]

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

Keep pitching him till he allows a base-runner.

[mrbig1]

Pick off play.

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.

Realistically our best 5 is Tillman, Gausman, Bundy huge drop off and then mix and match with Ubaldo, Gallardo and Miley. Miley might just be a spot starter now.

Guess Gamboa doesn't throw knucklers to first base.

Fantastic job pinch running, new guy.

[allquixotic]

Nice one, Drew. You're supposed to pinch RUN, not pinch GET PICKED OFF.

[weams]

Drew Stubbs. Substitution.

Picked off.

[Ruzious]

Drew Stubbs... quite the pinch-runner.

[allquixotic]

Yes, our offense had an amazing 5th, but Ubaldo is my player of the game.

[weams]

Yankees blowing it.

[Ruzious]

Drew was just anxious to see what Ubaldo was going to do.
