Can Miley adjust here and maybe start throwing some out the zone.  13 pitches.  They are obviously going up there hacking.  

Which to me is surprising considering how many walks Miley has given up this year.

You see all these guys going the other way? Man, I wish we had hitters like that.

They wouldn't be looking as good if the teams switched starting pitchers.

I've been saying it for years now, Buck doesn't value outfield defense.

I don't care what he says, the proof is in the pudding.

And you can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

When you experiment with Pedro Alvarez playing in the outfield ,you start to wonder if you are building a beer league softball team.

And the evening shadows in Houston are wicked.

I know.  It seemed real dumb typing it.  But they are going up there hacking.

At least Gentry can play centerfield (I think).

 Baltimore is where outfield defense comes to die.

Okay, it is across two games, haha! I didn't know they had a double header today. Had to go see what was going on with Derek Holland.

You've got to be able to pick up the easy meat

We just can't catch a break right now. Last night, Schoop's ball hit the yellow line. Today, Rickard gets a bad jump and we are down 2-0 like that (when they guy should have been tagged out at home).

Of course, earlier in the year, when we were all celebrating we were catching a ton of breaks and not acknowledging it. The fact of the matter is we've scored as many runs as we've allowed this year so our record is about where it should be.

This is fun.

We rarely ever go the other way no matter the pitcher.

No I mean Bourn.  Gentry isn't good either.  Bourn is the guy we should have on the bench.  

I'm a Kim fan, but Bourn ads more value to the team if Kim is only going to start once a week.

Bourn is a left-handed hitter. Since Buck is set on using Kim as part of a platoon, there really is no room for him on the roster.

So glad I finally get to watch the O's. Sure hope the team can turn it around. 

[sportsfan8703]

Miley grinded through that.  Now the hitters need to have the same approach.
