5/17 - Royals @ Orioles

[Lucky Jim]

He smoked that pitch man. It was a line drive that looked like a base hit. He flinched for 1 second and that was that.

I am not trying to defend the fact that he should have scored, but I wouldn't say he blew it there. That was tough.

It's not a big deal. I think the heads-up play scores there. But heads-up play isn't our M.O.

[LA2]

Um, if Felix is back (and presumably Nolan, too), where will Corey have worked his way into the starting line-up?

Hopefully not CF, because a regression from Jones that warrants that cancels out any benefits of having speed this year.

You figure that one out and let us know, OK?

Yeah, I know. I just want to agrue with someone. I am getting drunk and it is all I have left right now tonight.

Damn it Miggi. Should still be a tie game.

Hey, I like Corey. I just felt like he wedgied me by freezing on third after I praised his pop-up steal a minute before.

I've always enjoyed Corey - if he could give us .280/.320/.420 he'd have legitimate value.

Listening blind here: Did Miggy really have a chance at home on that grounder?

I think it would have been close. We might be better off getting the out at first.

[PrivateO]

Good job by Bergy to minimize the damage. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, and they only get 1 in.

Time to knock Davies out of this game.

[LA2]

91 pitches after six innings. A quality start. Is likely to give us at least one more inning. That's all one can ask for. Looks like last year's Bergy is back!

[adamwolff11]

O's need a strong inning here to chase Davies.

As in "3-run homer." Please.

[LA2]

Time for Atkins to bunt too.

[PrivateO]

Mr. Out strikes again.

[adamwolff11]

I think it should be mandatory Atkins get glasses.

Either his bat has no sweet spot or he can't seem to ever have it meet the ball.

And that squinting is annoying.

[LA2]

Does anyone know why we canned the Scott at first base experiment? The OH seemed to think he handled it well. Altho I wonder if he's only played first base during his long slump.

How many more ABs do you think Atkins gets? Will there be a mutiny if he gets another 100?
