Felix Hernandez on the mound

[SteveA]

Felix Hernandez' stuff looks filthy early on. Brian works a full count but goes down swinging.

[Snutchy]

Thorne is on it tonight! He just called a 96mph fastball a breaking ball!

I'm finsihing a movie on the DVR so I have the game on TV#2 with the sound down, so I'm missing that brilliant commentary.

It looks like its just you and me tonight.

Are you talking about the swinging strike three to Roberts? Because the M's TV announcers called it a changeup and then said, "...errrr, not a changeup. That was 96 MPH. That's no changeup." It didn't look 96 to me and it had a lot of movement on it. I think the gun was just radically wrong on the speed of that pitch.

I'm here until about the 5th.

[rooter]

Even if we don't score this inning, the number of pitches thrown is great.

[Snutchy]

OUCH! Melvin took one in a very tender spot.

[Birds90]

good way to wait for your pitch. Great hit Mora.

Don't even remember. Sorry.

[Snutchy]

Melvin down the line for a double! O's lead 1-0

[SteveA]

Gimpy after fouling one off himself, Melvin comes trhough with a big hit!

Another hit would be real nice. Like I said, Hernandez' stuff is filthy tonight. But if we can get 3 runs in a 30+ pitch first inning that would be a heck of a start.

[Scrat1]

I think Scott is slumping again. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

But can't complain about an inning where you get a run and make King Felix throw 37 pitches.
