Thursday, April 27th: Ortiz makes debut against the Tigers

[O's84]

Well that went well.

[Moose Milligan]

Sucks, cause I liked Perez a lot.  And to McDonald's point, I feel like he's not missing by much, either.

I think we all feel this way. I think most of us are bewildered by Perez's walks and struggles because he was on of our most reliable guys in the bullpen last season.

Why man? Why not let Baumann go one more inning? FFS. 

It's almost as If Hyde wants always to have a short-relief guy in the middle of the game as well--not just in the back end--and he's chosen Baumann for that role. So I guess that makes Akin and Voth the longer middle relievers? (With Coulombe, Cano, Baker, and Bautista as the back end.)

Baker's getting two quick strikes and Tork to pop up is huge.

Tork seems to excel at rally killing from what I've seen against the O's.

OOOOOOOFFFFFFF

Yeah, he doesn't look that good.

I can forgive this bases loaded walk if he gets this next guy.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh hello Tyler Nevin.

[Il BuonO]

I’ve seen enough of Perez.

[Moose Milligan]

I'd try to get Nevin to chase one out of the zone and then keep pounding fastballs, he can't catch up.

[Malike]

If Nevin beats you, this game isn't in the cards.

[Aristotelian]

Damn how do you walk a guy hitting .155 on four pitches.

[Malike]

We're gonna win now, phew.

[Roy Firestone]

4 pitch walk is garbage for Baker...I can understand getting squeezed..but he wasnt close..
