5/16 - O's at Royals: Hill's Debut

[RShack]

Because we need Rich Hill to be great. Because he was good. Because there was no way Trembley was pitching him over 90 pitches in his first start. Because Baez was warm. Because there had been two hits albiet cheap ones. Because there was a righthander coming to the plate.

Uncle! Uncle!

(I was just askin'... I didn't mean anything by it ;-)

MASN keeps cutting back to the announcers in the booth. That kind of annoys me. It's fine to show them once or twice as an establishing shot, but we don't need to see them over and over again.

Pie goes up there and flashes the bunt a lot, does he think that is going to help him get walks? At least bunt sometimes maybe?

Maybe he just wants DT to know he doesn't need to go to AAA and work on his bunting after what happened with Nolan in spring training.

Just a fair warning to everyone... Don't Google image search "Jetsons" with SafeSearch off. There are just some things that can't be unseen. All I wanted was a picture of the Jetsons in their flying car.

That would mean Buck did his hair for nothing, though.

Maybe he thinks it'll make 1B and 3B think twice about where they're standing...

Baez doing his Laloosh impression.

That sucks.

Cool pitcher's duel in Norfolk tonight - 1-0 Tides after 6, and DHernandez shut em out for 5.1:

5.1IP, 2H, 0R, 0ER, 4BB, 6K, 3.50ERA

Norfolk scored in the bottom of the first, and neither team has scored since. McCrory got David's last two outs for him.

I agree there, and I hate it twice as much when we are on MASN2 because I don't know about others, but my channel 17 (cspan) has the worst damn picture ever.

A leadoff walk to Luis Hernandez?

EPIC FAIL.

[weams]

I am really glad I did not put my eye out.

Another double play just like last thursday by Baez, nicely done.

[RShack]

That would mean Buck did his hair for nothing, though.

After Buck last night, I couldn't take it anymore, so I'm watching the KC HD feed... they've got Jim Lefevbre's kid doing PBP with Frank White as the color guy. They're not great, but they're competent and not annoying...

[Hank Scorpio]

Phew... walking Luis Hernandez doesn't hurt Baez.

[El Gordo]

Davies still in at 119 P's. When was the last time any O's pitcher threw that many? DCab?
