June 15: Pirates at Orioles

[JTrea81]

Cabrera isn't going to make it 5 at this rate...

Michaels singles, 3-0 Buccos...

[Crazysilver03]

Ugh. Cabrera needs to go. He is losing it. That pitch was right at LaRoche.

[JTrea81]

Yeah that one was intentional.

Time to yank him Captain Kirk...

[PurpleHaze]

The only thing more frustrating than being stuck in traffic for no apparent reason - a Daniel Cabrera start!:angryfire:

[RShack]

DCab is pitching scared. He's sorta hunched over, and he's flinching when they swing.

Maybe that's because even he knows they are going to hit him. I just can't make myself believe that DC is ever going to get it and live up to his talent.

[JTrea81]

So who is going to get plunked? My guess is Markakis...

[blueberryale77]

So, does Bynum get plunked leading off the next inning? I hope so, because I'm still waiting to see him dropkick somebody like he promised.

[Pushmonkey]

DCab is regressing back to well Dcab....3 good starts does not make a good pitcher. Can he be sent down like D. Willis to gain confidence/command?

[brvn52]

Yeah that one was intentional.

Time to yank him Captain Kirk...

I personally disagree. If he didn't hit any Red Sux in that game a few weeks ago, then I don't see why he would hit a Pirate in this situation.

[blueberryale77]

What incentive could he possibly have had to plunk somebody there?

[RipkenWay]

Cabrera needs to mix up his pitches a little. When you know old #1 is coming 90% of the time it's not that hard to hit it. What happened to his slider, and didn't he have a change up earlier in the year?

[brvn52]

Alright down 3-0. We have them right where we want them.

Daniel only knows one thing - throw it hard. Sure, he has other pitches, but he lacks confidence in them. He needs to be forced to throw him. Right now, he is pitching like a lot of high schoolers I have seen - throw it hard and hope they miss.

Nope, got frozen up on the deuce.

Maholm has some nice movement on all of pitches today according to Gameday.
