4/28 Stankees @ O's

[GotNitro]

Didn't Wiggy get hit last night?

Oh, I don't know. I missed the first few innings and didn't hear anything about that.

[Arthur_Bryant]

I know that he's been doing great, but that AB by Wigginton exemplifies why he drives me crazy. Two runners on, a 1-0 count, he goes after a sinker low and away and pulls it into a ground ball DP.

There is just no reason to swing at that pitch in that count. Maybe it's a strike (probably not) but even so, if you take it the worst that happens is that you go 1-1. You have to be sitting on something better in that spot.

Grrrr...

[allsighs]

somehow i blame Atkins for all this

[SammyBirdland]

Get Hendrickson out of there, PLEASE. He's gotten one batter out so far since he came in. Everyone is hitting him.

[berto]

Hendrickson doesn't look good tonight.

[SammyBirdland]

How many batters has he faced tonight? Six? Five out of six have hit him.

[allsighs]

and Wiggy did get plunked last night. Fastball very inside and right at the gut. He took it and sprinted to first. Definitely was a missed pitch though because the pitcher winced and then was pissed at himself for making that mistake....started shouting at himself.

When Wiggy got plunked last night, it moved the tying run into scoring position in the 6th inning (which sparked a 3-run O's rally). Clearly not intentional.

[SammyBirdland]

There we go, now we're getting some outs. That last one could have dropped though.

[allsighs]

so what is the over/under on calls to the pen from here on out. Gotta imagine at least 3.

[SammyBirdland]

Here comes Cla Meredith. Let the excitement continue...

I suspect we'll see Matt Albers at some point.

Here's hoping he's returned to his mediocre form.

[theobird]

Hendrickson, the Claw followed by Albers. Tonight is a good chance to audition for the curb. Which one(s) will be kicked to the curb when our dl'ed relievers return??

[SammyBirdland]

Holy cow, Granderson almost made a ridiculous play.
