5/31 Tigers @ Orioles

[scottbbfm]

the pitch ended up being practically a pitchout.

[Austin]

Maybe Brian missed a sign there and was supposed to hit and run.

If that's the case then DT needs to quit with the H&R's, we can never seem to get them right.

[Skeletor]

A simple caught stealing almost seems not that bad anymore with this team.

[BeerIsFood]

Lets not let this horrible display of offense, 1 hit through 6 innings, ruin what Berken has done through 6.

6.0 IP, 4 Hits, 1 Run, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's, 1 HR, 86 pitches.

He has made one mistake today, and that was the HR pitch to Granderson, and this is his second start in the majors.

I'm just sayin'.

[wickedwitch]

That was the dumbest steal call i ever seen, why is trying to steal???

It would have been the right call if Laird wasn't quite as good as he his throwing out runners.

Ahhh Sunday Baseball. We are down 1-0, and yet I have no hope.. Come on O's..

Prior to today, Wieters has a 62.5% contact rate vs Jones 73.4%, Markakis 86.5%, and Roberts 88.5%. And today Wieters is 1/4 when he swings.

Just saying, regardless of sample size, he doesn't have a good contact ratio right now. For comparison, Chris Davis has a 56.8% contact rate and 77 K's in 178 PA.

ok.

Let's give it a few months.

[The Rick]

That was just stupid. Laird has a freaking gun. DT runs too much IMO.

Well I think it was Andino who was running, DT was in the dugout.

But yeah, I hear ya--down by a run and we run into an out with our 2nd base runner of the game, pretty ridiculous, IMO.

On an unrelated note, great game by Berken so far... he is fun to watch pitch.

Can you at least give the boy a week before you start dragging out numbers against him?

[Abadie]

Do we have anyone warming? I think Berken at 86 pitches need to be on a tight rope.

I'd like to see Baez...

Nope, nobody's warming.

[Malike]

Jackson with 66 pitches through 6, according to the box score. He isn't going anywhere.

[Old_Bay_Oriole]

Berken has been outstanding.

I agree. I'm loving Berken today.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

Win or lose today, the pitching we have been getting lately is encouraging. So much better now.
