Aug 18th O's vs. Sox

[LA2]

Only down by three despite that. C'mon Rocky, shut it down now.:clap3:

[JTrea81]

Where the hell is JJ and why is Cherry pitching?

[dtk9119]

just curious, why did they not bring Jim Johnson in?

[RFisthaMan]

I'm sure we'll have no problem the next to games, not like we had our only really reliable starter going today :rolleyestf:

Good Q.

I wish Manfra wd stop singing Bay's praises. It's like he's broadcasting to all the Sux fans in the park.

Seriously Rocky Cherry can shoot himself. That's garbage. Way to keep us in the game pal.

Was really not that bad of a pitch...it just broke right into the power spot of his bat.

[JTrea81]

Hopefully this confirms Cherry should have no part of our bullpen in 2009...

[dtk9119]

I think that is just poor managing by Trembley... Cherry should not be in these situations.

[dtk9119]

and it gets worse..... maybe Guts should have stayed in...

[Scrat1]

Well if Cherry can manage to get through this without giving up another run then I'm still optimistic.

[Why Not?]

The Red Sox are the best team in baseball at working counts and tiring out pitchers, and more often than not their hitters get the close calls...

I bet a LOT of pitchers have their career highs in walks vs. Boston. They are some patient MFers.

Something Bradford hardly ever did. Wish we had him in there now to coax the DP grounder. I wonder how he's been doing with Tampa. In fact, I'll look it up now.

[JTrea81]

Well I suppose it's refreshing that Trembley would rather test his pitchers than try to get a win, at least that's what I hope he was doing...

Cherry shouldn't have been in during a one run game with the Sox.

Yea, he was a good pitcher for the O's this season.

I was never a fan of Cherry, but his breaking pitches can be nasty, and that homer was more of Jason Bay being an oriole killer and being on fire.
