7/7 - O's @ M's... Can we solve Bedard?

[Dadaist]

Good lord this is just plain embarassing now.

I'm just waiting for Guthrie to yelp in pain and crumble to the mound...

Hard to watch him struggle like this. Roberts or Mora need to go talk to him and stall.

[jamessemaj]

Please, someone tell me the bullpen is active?

[whateverfor]

He doesn't have control or velocity on his fastball, and can't get breaking pitches close to the zone, why do they keep throwing him out there? His velocity is actually getting worse, he's gonna be topping at 85 soon.

[RShack]

Can I not express concern for Guthrie's health given the status of our pitching staff without "wetting my pants?"

It's not about him getting hit, it's about his health of his arm.

Of course you can.

And, if you yell and scream, and start claiming Palmer says he's hurt when Palmer didn't, I'm gonna point it out. Heaven forbid we can have a ballgame without a whole dang page or two of people screaming and yelling when theyu don't know what the hell they're talking about....

[Mackus]

What exactly happened on the play, if you don't mind me asking.

Bases loaded with 2 outs. Scott hits a 20-2 pitch (so runners not going) to center / right-center. Gutierrez gets to it and throws wildly to home, the ball bouncing into the stands.

Jones and Markakis scored easily. And I think the umps initially awarded Reimold home (or he just took it). Umpires consulted or something and they rules that Reimold had to stay at third.

The rule is 2 bases from time of throw. So essentially they were saying that Reimold, with a lead and breaking on contact, could not run 80 or so feet before Gutierrez could get to the ball, crow hop, and fire home. I find that a dubious claim, but there was never a good enough camera angle to see exactly where Reimold was at the time of the throw, so we don't know for certain.

This. Seriously, who's managing the game since DT was tossed? :cussing:

[Frobby]

This is painful to watch and it's ticking me off that he's out there. This can't lead anywhere good.

[Hank Scorpio]

If he's not hurt in some fashion, I will be absolutely shocked.

[Mike B]

The action on this thread is better than the game. i am not sure either is worth losing sleep over.

Trembley is still relaying stuff to Jauss most likely.

[clarence]

Regardless of what's going on with Guthrie, whatever trade value he may have is taking a big hit. That "wow" package that AM wants to see isn't happening.

Okay thanks. I knew the rule, I just wasn't sure how it was applied to the situation.

Seems like it was likely a bad call.

[JTrea81]

The fact he's staying away from his fastball should raise some concerns...

[BeerIsFood]

Guthrie out...

[JTrea81]

Guthrie out...

About freaking time. He should have been gone after the 1st inning.

Now we just have to hope it's nothing serious...
