5/2 Boston @ Baltimore

[Don Quixote]

Great pitch by Beckett.

I can't deny it was good strategy there. It was the lowest pitch of the at bat and just the kind of location that's been vexing Jones.

Someone please wake Lugo up and tell him to run

I wonder why the O's aren't trying to take advantage of Bostons awful stolen base defense.... everyone else has been stealing off of them... Tampa Bay got 9 in one game on them! Since the offense isn't really clicking right now, why not try to run some...

He ran a couple times but both on foul balls... you can't run on every pitch

Jees, that was a bad throw that landed in the exact right spot.

I mean damn, Sox got away with one there.

[Mike B]

He may have been safe, despite Thorne's euphoria. Good play either way. Nick leads off.

[calebelias]

Jeez, how slow is Lugo????????? That was not a quick catch and release from Varitek.

Yea, he ran the second time as I was posting. he saw about 4 pitches from AJ and 2 or 3 from Nick.

[Don Quixote]

Crap. They did get Beckett to throw 20 pitches, though; the only bad at bat as far as that was Tatum, but even so it was probably a good pitch to hit if Gameday's spot is right. He just didn't get it in the right place.

Not slow at all. Not as fast as he used to be, but he still moves well.

This is one thing about DT that i'm not too crazy about. He's not very aggressive. I love aggressiveness. Especially the run part. Run Run Run Run.

Wow what a arm Tatum has!!! Accurate throw!

[Glenn Gulliver Fan]

OMG! That was a laser beam by Tatum! Wow!!!

[berto]

Another real nice play by Tatum.

[GotNitro]

Tatum is impressing me defensively.

Great full name for him... Laser Beam Tatum

Not to be nit picky but he ran once with Jones (he foulded it) then twice with Markakis (one foul, one CS)

[alaniee]

Millwood just overwhelmed J.D. on that AB. Very nice 3 pitches!!
