5/14: Indians at Orioles

[BowieMike]

First pitch scheduled for 8:10 p.m.

That's on Jeremy Guthrie.

How amazing is it that Guthrie's 4th or 5th in the league in BB/9 but he has horrible fastball command? Hard to believe, really.

I'll give him leave on that one. Coming back from a rain delay is tough. But he needs to command it better going forward. What was that, 25 pitches through 1?

Is this the same Corey Patterson that played for us before?

[Hank Scorpio]

That's interesting.

Can you describe the hit? Line drive?

Bouncer up the middle. Nothing eye popping.

[Hank Scorpio]

Wow that is just a textbook way to escape a rally.

My O's-listening depression threshold has been unusually low this season. I'm going to turn it off now and do some work. We should have taken the lead that inning. jeesh.

[Hank Scorpio]

Cougar alert!!!!!

I agree that he can't help the command, but he can help which pitches he throws. You could tell he had virtually no fastball command going all out yet he threw good fastball strikes to Cabrera on 3-1 and 3-2 when he dialed it back a bit. So, if he just dialed back a little bit, he could command yet he didn't to two straight hitters. He also never threw a change up until the final hitter. Just sillly stuff...

What a freaking awful at bat by Nick. This guy has control problems yet Nick swings at a low slider on the second pitch when up 1-0. Just awful... WTF

Coming right after them this inning.

That last fastball, tailing in on the hands at 93-94 was sweet.

Luke is such a phenomenon. =) No one slumps like him, but his hot streaks are almost divine.

[Hank Scorpio]

Is it me, or does Hughes have bat speed issues?

I've seen him behind many a middle middle fastball around 90-92mph.
