I wonder what Gibson we get tonight. 

[Moose Milligan]

Friedl with a duckfart to lead it off. 

[Billy F-Face3]

I'm surprised they are wearing the weekend black jerseys on a Wednesday.

[Billy F-Face3]

Why does Adley yank so many of his throws to 2nd? That's one part of his game he could really improve on.

[Baltimorecuse]

UGH!

[baltfan]

That throw almost looked like Adley has the yips.  Could be he was just having second thoughts about throwing, but I am starting to get a bit concerned. 

[Billy F-Face3]

That got him right in the gut.

Palmer has explained it many times.  He's dropping his elbow.  

[Billy F-Face3]

It'll take him a moment to get his breath back

[Moose Milligan]

Hitting India sets up a double play at least. 

[Baltimorecuse]

Watching Gibson pitch is like being water boarded.
