Eddie Murray in the booth.

3 Orioles pitchers are in the top 4 for lowest run support in the AL.

Hernandez, Guthrie, Millwood, Grienke.

[cborgans1]

That was quick.

[The Epic]

That sucks..that was actually a really good pitch to Morneau.

And holy crap, how long has Cuddyer been playing? It feels like he has since 1990.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

That sucks..that was actually a really good pitch to Morneau.

It was nice and low, but right down the middle. So not a bad pitch, but not a great one.

[alaniee]

Hopefully it'll be a fun day, Baltimore O's all day! Good games would help though...

[SurhoffRules]

He's good.

[cborgans1]

He's good.

Nasty. Good idea to save Millwood for later.

[The Epic]

17 in two innings? Might wanna take less pitches...see if he can throw under 70.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

Guthrie's stuff not looking too good today IMO.

[alaniee]

Nice break on Nolans hit down the line. Thank you 3rd base.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

I don't understand why Izzy wouldn't bunt here or at least try. Liriano is dealing right now. Try and get him out of rhythm.

Edit: shows what I know.. lol

[LA2]

This might be our best opportunity to score against Liriano the whole game. And Lugo's up....

[alaniee]

Wow, 3 straight singles. C'mon lets get something outta this. Surprising to get this out of the bottom of the line up.

[LA2]

The Twins' announcers just called the last three O's hits "DUCK FARTS." :laughlol:
