3/2 O's vs. Red Sox

[tywright]

Ellsbury gets on

Lowrie grounds to BRob, who can only go to 1st

[tywright]

BRob almost makes great play, but Huff can't scoop ball (Millar would have had it!)

1st and 3rd

[tywright]

Inning over...flyball to Nick

[tywright]

Bergesen 3IP, 4 H, 0R, 3 K

[SteveA]

Yep, that's the one place we will miss Millar the most. He was excellent at scooping or blocking throws at first base and preventing throwing errors.

[BillySmith]

Nice discussion about Huff having to be able to pick those throws.

BB gets through his 3 without a run. Great job. Tempered a bit because it was against a Red Sox team that has lost 15 players to the WBC.

[mikezpen]

Give the Berg another inning.

That and being generally awesome.

Devern Hansack now pitching for the Red Sox.

Anyone remember this guy pitching a 5-inning no-hitter against the O's to finish the '06 season?

That Devern Hansack?

Yeah, they waited a long time before calling that game. It got to be about 7PM on that Sunday night and as much an Oriole fan as I am, I just hoped they would call the damn thing nad let him have the no-hitter and put us out of misery after that bad season. And they finally did. I don't know why they waited that long....I can't believe anyone would have wanted to resume that game at 7PM on a cold, rainy October night in Fenway between a contender heading for the play offs and a losing team that just wanted to go home.

Ugh! Reminds me of 30-3. How does that happen to us?

Gregg Zaun draws a walk after seeing a ton of pitches. Zaun's had some good at-bats this spring.

[Big Mac]

Bergesen threw 46 pitches, 29 for strikes. 63% of his pitches were thrown for strikes.

I was really impressed with Bergesen today. He used his change-up early in the count. He used his breaking ball frequently, early and also when behind in the count.

He seems to have confidence in all of his pitches right now and feels comfortable using all of them at any time.

According to Joe Angel, his breaking ball looked very impressive with a sharp late break.

Gomez liner to LF and gets a double. Zaun held up at 3rd
