June 18: Astros @ Orioles

[Pushmonkey]

Bynum came into run for him, from 2nd.

Oh i thought he ran for ...oh that's right Payton hit for Cintron.

[Mu'ayyidSaafir]

Tejada left in the on deck circle. If the Orioles are going to score, they better score a bunch, because I don't see Sherrill blowing through Miggy-Berkman-Lee.

[YardBirds13]

Don't get me wrong, I love Nick. He's my favorite player and he does a lot of things really, really well...he's a 5 tool player, IMO.

But the striking out looking this year is getting on my last f'ing nerve. Seriously, it's getting a bit ridiculous. I understand that he wants to be patient this year and work on his walks, but when its two strikes, you gotta protect and swing at anything thats close, even if just to try to foul it off.

That last pitch might or might not have been a strike, but you gotta swing....

What was better in that situation:

A) Stirke-out looking

B) Swings at a pitch he isn't looking for outside his hitting zone, and grounds into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.

The K's aren't that big of a deal. Nick knows what he is doing.

I fear for my TV during games like these.

[SurhoffRules]

Rats. Just far enough to get your hopes up.

[Bleed Orange]

OHH i thought Huff got that one. I'd like to see JJ even tho he went last night.

Worst case scenario, yes, a DP. But a DP can kill an inning anytime. My beef isn't the strikeout, it's that he didn't get the bat off his shoulder and has done that a lot this year.

What's the high water mark for Guthrie and strike outs?

He struck out 10 Nationals last year in 7 innings.

[PaulFolk]

Sherrill warming up.

[McNulty]

Sherrill is up in the pen.

[Mu'ayyidSaafir]

Yeah, Orioles Magic and all that, but I really wouldn't mind seeing the Orioles win a 9-1 blowout every now and again. You know, like when Guthrie pitches great and the other team starts Brian Moehler.

[tywright]

Sherrill warming up.

His arm better not fall off before July 31st

[blueberryale77]

Im smelling some extra inning baseball.

That's unfortunate. Somebody should get the guys some stronger deodorant.
