4/18, Orioles (1-11) @ Athletics (9-4)

[El Gordo]

No action in the pen, it's JJ.

I agree with Nolan Ryan. It's not the pitch count, it's how they are throwing. The last time out I would have pulled him sooner, this time I would have left him in.

No argument here Gordo. I hate pitch count and pulling guys, when they are still doing ok. That is a baseball thing, not a DT thing though.

[PrivateO]

Wow. What a play.

[Mike B]

We are snake bit. Web Gem. Great catch.

[backwardsk]

Wow, what a catch by Sweeney. Tough luck for Turner.

I agree with this to an extent.

Its not how many pitches you throw, but how many pitches you throw once you are tired that is what causes injuries, IMO. Some days you tire after 80, sometimes you can throw 120 without tiring. There is no magic number, gotta judge each situation.

[berto]

Incredible catch.

[alaniee]

Nice day with the bat for Izzy today.

[jasmith85]

Great at-bat by Reimold, greater catch by Sweeney.

Hmmmmm:scratchchinhmm:

That was actually Turner but agreed, great AB and great catch by Sweeney.

[backwardsk]

Izturis is such a great hitter.

[orioleman123]

I mean if a pitcher is doing good and executing his pitches. Hell yeah you better keep him in. But if he is leaving pitches up and allowing runs then you should pull him. some teams use pitch count and some don't

[Scrat1]

I thought that was Reimold at the plate for a minute since he used to be the only one with a shin guard.

[weams]

It looked like Turner to me.

[OrioleWay27]

Incredible catch.

Sweeney made at least 5 of those catches last season, many of which were even better than this one. He's a hell of a defensive outfielder.
