Orioles vs. White Sox 4/21/09 Game 1

[HOF-Wieters]

I think he just likes walking to the mound to make pitching changes.

No, yeah, it's annoying.

Over management.

[El Gordo]

Not sure why he's getting yanked here...

My guess is DT wants him to leave with the lead. Not have to face Konerko/ I'm not such a softy. I would have left him in.

[clarence]

That was refreshing. Hope there are many more nights like this for a lot of our guys.

[JTrea81]

Well that worked out, but Bergesen probably could have got him.

[Tank]

Bayz needs to stay out for the next inning.

He better or thats just ridiculous.

[nemO821]

Did DT want BB to leave the field to applause?

Thats my guess.

[Hank Scorpio]

Baez had better get this last out, or a lot of people are going to be ready to go after DT with pitchforks and torches...

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, settle yourself.

I'll....I'll just go ahead and say it. You're an extremist!!!!! A baseball extremist.

[Pushmonkey]

Is he here to stay?

I think that he is the first of the Calvary.

[DrLev]

At least we can feel reasonably confident with Baez right now. Heck, who thought anyone would be saying that a month ago?

[Peace21]

Man I love watching games on here with you guys. Its hilarious.

[mrbig1]

Due up are two outs and a hit.

[PaulFolk]

Now Chris Ray is warming up. Is Trembley really going to take out Baez after one batter? Why bring him in in the first place?

[baseballnelie]

At least Baez is able to get the ground ball out on 3 pitches to end the inning.

Great job by Bergesen tonight with a final line of 5 2/3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BBs 4 Ks, and 1 HBP

[Skeletor]

I don't think Rick Dempsey's nephew ™ can play every day anymore. Hint, hint.

[Miller192]

I don't like the decision to pull Bergesen there. No reason to go to the pen right now. Boo!

I'm going to guess and say DT wanted him to get the applause in front of his parents.

He probably wasn't going to come out for the 7th anyway and there was no harm on the bases.
