4/13 Rays @ Orioles

Not ragging on Atkins - he's constantly squinting when he's at bat as if he's trying to see something far away. Like the pitcher.

Matusz wheelin and dealin his way into the 4th.

[UMDTerrapins]

I love watching him pitch.

He's got that Cal stance down perfect.

He's hitting great so far... if everyone else was hitting as well as him we wouldn't be 1-6.

Not sure what you can possibly be complaining about.

Atkins also had that drive last night that would have been his 4th double of the year if Crawford wasn't an amazing fielder.

I like Atkins. Overall he gives great ab's for the bottom of the order. He should never be a starting first baseman on a serious club, though. The fact that he bats so low on a non-contending club speaks of our overall talent at the plate (despite the slump).

So far, Matusz has thrown 1st-pitch strikes to 7 of 10 batters... and they didn't hit any of them... maybe he's not a good P for hitters to show "patience" with ;-)

Matusz is my hero. I wish we could score some runs for him.

37 overall pitches through 3

We need to clone Matusz! We need five Matusz's!

Finally checking in after half an hour on the phone with tech support.

Stupid Cox :angryfire:

Sounds like Matusz is looking good?

[IHeartMASN]

Good lord. Pie is raking.

[Goober Noodles]

Attaboy Pie!

We need 5 pies!

lol- ragging on Atkins? He's been one of the few bright spots this year if you ask me.

I think this isn't quite right. Considering how the most of the team is hitting, he hasn't totally embarrassed himself. But I don't know about bright spot. The guy doesn't even have a .300 OBP. And that's our first baseman. It's still very early, way too early to write him off, but I'm not all that optimistic.

Pie keeps it going. Hopefully we can bring him home this time around.
