Bases loaded, let’s see how they miss out on this opportunity here.

Plus they’re really ugly.

You have a good point. The Rays couldn't win with their name Devil Rays!

[Billy F-Face3]

That fan in the stands looked like the kid from Jerry McGuire lol

[BraveOriole]

Zero patience at the plate. Zero. 

[dtk9119]

Good grief.. Cedric take a pitch!

[Moose Milligan]

Predictable. 

[Tony-OH]

Good Lord... At least give us a little excitement not flying out weekly on the first pitch. Who does he think he is? Adley?

 

[baltfan]

Guy has walked two guys this inning.  Swing away!   Makes lots of sense. 

[Roy Firestone]

Damn...Ced? First pitch? The bases were loaded...another guy who isn't lightning it up since he came off IL...

[TopGunnar]

Brutal. Keep tallying up the LOB

[justD]

Ugh.  Surprised to see first-pitch swinging there by Mullins.  What a waste.

Henderson should still be leading off no reason Mullins is other than Hyde doesn't want to let the kid lead. 

[Dunk35]

Dean about to be out after 3 innings. Our offense cant get any timely hits. Westburg OPS'd over 1000 against righties in AAA. Guarantee he gives a better AB than Frazier. 

[oriolediehard]

Seems like the O's lost confidence. Maybe Hyde needs to do an Earl Weaver, stir up some action with the umps to jump start the team.

What if the first pitch is the best pitch you could see in the at bat? Like a fastball in the center of the plate? If you take that one and go down 0-1, you give the advantage to the pitcher to work the fringes of the strike zone with breaking balls.
