5/29 - O's @ Jays - Welcome back Chris!

[Going Underground]

He might make it only through about five innings, I am not sure if he has a pitch count.

[justD]

And then there's the O's, getting out on 1 pitch.....

[Going Underground]

I am always afraid they will get no hit this year.

[epic]

We really suck at hitting.

[Going Underground]

At least Cecil now has as many pitches as Tillman.

[epic]

Gotta get that pitch lower.

Where's the cutter and changeup?

[Going Underground]

Not a terrible inning, one bad pitch and less pitches.

[Going Underground]

The bottom of the lineup is coming up. This will be the O's inning.:laughlol:

[RipkenWay]

Gotta get that pitch lower.

Where's the cutter and changeup?

Exactly. Nothing but fastballs.

[Austin]

Garrett Atkins and Craig Tatum, what a one-two punch.

[justD]

We really suck at hitting.

The team is made up of fastball hitters, continually facing major league pitchers -- which is to say, pitchers who have a changeup or a slider or a cutter that will leave our fastball hitters looking silly on a regular basis.

I no longer have any illusions of the lineup we have improving at all this season as far as hitting is concerned. They simply don't have the ability to do so...can't see offspeed pitches, can't hit em, and aren't getting the fastballs they want unless the opposing pitcher is hurt.

[BaltBird 24]

So Atkins HR was our last XBH? Even when the guy does something positive, he comes back to bite the team in the ass. Wouldn't shock me if we don't hit another XBH while Atkins is still on the team.

[justD]

Gotta get that pitch lower.

Where's the cutter and changeup?

He gave up on the cutter -- trying to master it is what caused the majority of his bad numbers during his first 4 or 5 starts in AAA.

[sbauer]

In what inning will the Orioles get their first hit of the game?

[Going Underground]

The guy from University of Maryland goes for a perfect game.
