Hernandez gives up 6 runs in two innings of work and the Baysox currently trail 6-0 in the 4th inning.

Among the 6 runs Hernandez gave up is a grand slam by rehabbing Indians DH Travis Hafner. I have a problem with Hafner being allowed to participate in the playoffs while on a rehab assignment. This just stinks. This guy is an impact major league hitter facing AA pitchers (regardless of how good we all think Hernandez will be). If Hafner's back to being near full-health it gives Akron an advantage that doesn't seem right. In my opinion it should be 2-0 Akron, not 6-0...:angryfire::cussing:

I agree! But it appears that Hernandez just did not have his best stuff tonite.

On top of that it looks as if David got tossed...sure wish i was there to see what that is about.

David really feels bad and feels he let his teammates down, but he feels being tossed was unjustified. As he was going into the dugout everyone in the dugout was yelling at the home plate umpire and the 1st base umpire picked him out.

Well these umps have been terrible for the previous two games...no sense changing their ways now. As I said in another thread, the EL should be ashamed.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
