5/28. Hernandez Debut. O's vs. Tigers

[Hank Scorpio]

Are they really gonna let this kid face Reimold?

[threedaysrest]

Whereas Huff went down the line to draw the throw, Mora might have tried to dash for the plate on that flyball. We've seen him do it before. :cussing:

[LAOSfan]

On that play where Huff went to third, why in the world was he going back to the base to tag? He could not have tagged on that and it was not even close. He should have been off the bag and would have made it to third a whole lot easier.

Ordonez looks much less mobile out in RF than I recall.

He had that micro fracture surgery. He has lost steps....

[EddieO's21]

Yeah, you haven't been paying attention since he's come back from AAA.

your right...since 7 days is hardly a case study to use for a pitcher who has tons to prove from severe mediocrity

[TyCobb]

If you're directly behind home plate it's relatively easy to identify a fastball from anything else simply by velocity, IMO.

I'm no scout or anything, but I can usually identify a 2 seamer, a 4 seamer, a straight change, a circle change, a slider and a curveball. Sometimes it's easy to get crossed up on a cutter/slider, but I can usually identify pitches.

He doesn't use a screen. So he generally doesn't look at the stadium gun before he calls the pitch. So he is simply calling it as he sees it.

[Mackus]

Holy crap. Great double play by Detroit.

[Hank Scorpio]

Wow, that's just a great play by Detroit.

Crap, wasted opportunity there.

[Skeletor]

Sometimes they make plays, too.

[Mike B]

Terrific play. DP's are killing us.

[Mashed Potatoes]

He hit it hard, that sucks.

Ordonez deked him into thinking he was gonna catch it.

[clarence]

Nice play by Tigers.

I wish Palmer was doing color tonight. I would've loved to hear him talk about DH, the strike zone, and Thorne's pitch calls.

You said he was awful, not mediocre. And, if I recall, Albers was pretty darn good last year. He just had a rough start this year coming back from the injury.

[Crazysilver03]

a 5.27era...17hits in 13 inn...1.68 whip...that is somehow good???

You really don't pay attention, thanks for proving that.

Since he came back from Norfolk, he has had 5 appearances, including so far tonight, 4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4K.
