[Feinbird]

Already 2-0 with no one out in the bottom of the first.

And already another error by our shortstop.

[tanner88]

This is really getting ugly. 4-0.

[blueberryale77]

Wait, seriously, this is the game thread? Unbelievable.

Oh well, I just came by to beat my dead horse. His name is Alex Cintron, and as usual he deserves a good beating!

[tywright]

I didn't see it, but did Cintron touch the bag?

[Ozone]

Can we please end this Sarfate as a starter abomination!

[Waryn]

I didn't see it, but did Cintron touch the bag?

direct word from the Indians radio commentor:

"He touched the bag and it wasn't called, the tribe will take it!"

[zff4]

for a brief inning, God hated the Orioles

[Ozone]

I didn't see it, but did Cintron touch the bag?

No, but he was awfully close. The one time an ump decides not to allow the "neighborhood" call, its when the Os are involved.

Interesting. The O's radio guys conceded that he was behind the bag and not even close. On top of that, he should have had a pretty easy play at first but took his usual couple of steps before making a weak throw.

Meanwhile, the three real baseball players in the infield turn a double play to get out of the inning. See how easy that is, Mr. "Shortstop"? :rolleyestf:

This is why Castro should start instead of Cintron.

Castro has a groin pull. He was supposed to come back today but was scratched from the lineup. But this is why Fahey should be the utility guy instead of Cintron.

yeah. I wonder why he isn't?

He needs to suck it up and play Cintron started out decent but continues to fall into the "unbearable to watch" category.

[blueberryale77]

It may be as simple as the fact that Fahey still had an option left... or there may be some evil conspiracy to frustrate the living daylights out of O's fans by making us watch a Daniel Cabrera impersonator (without the arm) play shortstop.
