4/11 Blue Jays at Orioles

[O-The-Memories]

Was it just me, or did it look like Jones and Pie had another "it's my ball" incident there?

Miggy has done a lot of work getting ready to play 3rd base. You can see it in his footwork. He looks good.

A lot of credit goes to him for the work he put in during ST.

Ah, Atkins fouled a ball off his shin. That explains Wiggi. BTW, it sure is nice having an adult on the mound for a change.:laughlol:

We are really limited on the bench today. Only NR and tatum healthy. Hopefully that winds up being a good thing.

Almost but when Pie heard Jones had it for sure he backed off. No big deal there, Pie was just in position to make the catch if Jones realized he couldn't. Good teamwork.

1 pitch, 1 out.

They were still pretty bad, I remember at the end of the season, last few months, the Sundays were pretty much automatic losses.

I just looked it up-- the O's were 10-16 on Sundays last year. So they weren't noticeably worse than on any other day of the week.

[Hank Scorpio]

Jones has no clue right now, again swinging at an 0-2 slider.

JONES!!! Why would they throw you a fastball, dummy!?!?!??!

[alaniee]

Good job by Jones to battle into a good AB.

[Hank Scorpio]

That should be a two base error.

That should be a two base error.

Hit an error.

[backwardsk]

That's where speed is your friend.

[alaniee]

Did they just say we were in the top 3 category for RISP last year???

[O-The-Memories]

Looks like a single and an error for Jones. I liked that at-bat overall. Seven pitches is what I'd love to see for most at bats.

[Hank Scorpio]

Hit an error.

Good throw would have had him according to the replay.
