Orioles and Yankees Gamey 1

[LAOSfan]

It's the limitation of being the kind of pitcher he is. And why a lot of us pointed to his 4.5 K/9 MiL numbers and said "this could be a problem."

He simply had no way of putting A-Rod away. And looked scared even trying.

I'd probably walk him to face Matsui. Why not? They did it with Bonds and do it with Pujols all the time.

Good Line-Up Tonight!! Go Orioles! No IzTurdis. Andino is at SS. Montanez and Reimold. Pie benched. Jonesy is Back 2. + Bergy pitching yay

Is this necessary?

Why was a fastball thrown to AROD? MLB.com gamecenter said fastball. Arod was so set up for the changeup again. :angryfire:

Go O's!

Because Matsui can and will hurt you. I don't feel great facing either of them, honestly.

I agree..I think I would walk A-rod almost every plate appearence...at least don't throw strikes to him.

Agreed. After getting up 0-2, just throw stuff out of the strike zone and see if he'd chase something....if only because unfamiliar with Bergy.

He's given up 40 hits in 27 innings prior to this start. Noone should be surprised that the Yankee's are hitting him, early on. He's a number 5 starter, he's never had a lot of upside, and to expect anything more will only lead to being disappointed.

[Why Not?]

Need as many ABs like Zaun's as possible, wear down the big galut.

[mrbig1]

Need 3 up and 3 down BB.

I like that shirt the guy was wearing before the comercial.

It said something like "You bet your sweet ass I hate the Yankees". I gotta get one...

[OrangeJerseys]

The MFYanks announcers make Thorne and Martinez look brilliant.

[PrivateO]

Yeah Berg. K.

I'll take facing Matsui over A-rod ten times out of ten.

You may prove to be right, but BB like all of the calvary will need to be given plenty of time to grow. Most will struggle early. Give them time to improve.

[The B&G]

even with the first inning homer, i still have confidence in us winning tonight.
