Mother's Day: Orioles go for a sweep of the Pirates

[Yossarian]

If the Os don't score in the 5th. I say keep Gipson out there to eat a couple more innings

[justD]

Yikes.  It's one thing to lose with a huge crowd like this.  It's another altogether to have mediocre pitching, zero offense, and weak defense. 

I just can't stand to get all the grief from my Pittsburgh friends.  Every time the O's seem to get good, the Pirates rise to the occasion and I have to hear all about it. "RTJR!" Ugh. 

[justD]

So, have they tried Cowser or Westburg at 1B?  I'm ready for someone to step up.

I'd simply remind them the Pirates are like 1-12 in the last 13 games or whatever.

Did you mean to have this in green font? 

That's what the phone autocorrected to and I just went with it.

Mountcastle is just really unlucky. 

 

On another note, there's really not a go to power hitter in this lineup.

Stowers and Gunnar just getting beat by FBs in the zone... wtf.

Absolutely nothing to cheer about today.   A Mullins bunt single has been the biggest play for the Os.

Gunnar needs to make that play.  Honestly that should be an error.....yes it wasnt a sure thing at first but....man you got to make that.

Good thing you’re not an official scorer.  It would have been a great play and I doubt he would have had him.

[Malike]

Keller is a damned good pitcher, it's not like they are getting shut down by a scrub.

[TopGunnar]

All the Stowers Stans have been so quiet lately. Why is that

Ha.  It was a perfect bunt.  I’m cheering a day off for Cano and Bautista.  What can you do?   Keller is throwing like a RH version of Eduardo Rodriguez but with better stuff.

Exactly.

I am a fan but to be honest the man has to hit or one of our other many damn prospects will pass him up.  We might be lucky to trade him for anything this offseason.  I dont think we need him anymore.  Not with Cowser.  He just does not have the luxury to suck for months at a time and keep his spot.

Seems like perfect timing to go Cowser for Stowers tomorrow.
