4/12 Rays at Orioles

[Gurgi]

Double clutched the freaking ball. Our defense is letting Guthrie down bigtime.

[Hank Scorpio]

Jones just cost us a run with that hot dog BS that turned into a "triple". If I didn't know better, I'd say he is competing with Pie in his mind.

He should worry about it. Pie's a much better centerfielder.

Sigh. Game over. How many times have we seen this show play out?

[barellano]

Deja vu all over again..

I'm going to ask this as an honest question, and hope that the anti-Jones cabal doesn't lay into me. (I don't mean to imply that you're part of said cabal. BTW.)

Clearly, a single scores a run there, no?

So, if Jones is properly backed up by Pie (who took a bad path and let the ball squib by him, it appeared) isn't that gamble on the dive worth it?

Plus the Rays can hit. Carl Crawford is amazing.

How do you know better? Isn't that what he's doing?

Score early, get good starting pitching to keep it close, don't get a hit after the second inning, let the game slip away by poor defense and a tiring starter, go through the motions until the game is in the loss column.

The worst kind of game and it keeps happening over and over.

[Scrat1]

Stupid dive by Jones. Great throw, though.

I've been looking at our team's stat lines. Check out Nick's:

.158/.448/.263/.711

Don't see that often.

What is that song they play when there is a mound visit? I know I have heard that guitar before, I just can't think of the song. It sounds nice.

[backwardsk]

That's probably it for Guthrie tonight. Another solid outing from him. Too bad 3 runs is insurmountable for this team.

Are you happy with the way the lineup's are put together each night?

[Pedro Cerrano]

Let's get some runs, guys!

I just think Pie out runs the ball there and gets it. Jones is a half step behind and has to dive. Pie also has better reactions to the ball.

No. But at this point, it's probably not worth agonizing over....
