Guthrie seemed a little irritated in that reporter session.

Was Palmer in the background?

[caljr]

Anybody else having audio problems tonight? I am hearing static in the background. None of my other channels are having this issue... just masn 2. I have dish network.

[caljr]

And as soon as I make the post, it clears up. Never mind.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Let's see if Barton bunts here :laughlol:

[adamwolff11]

0-2 on him now Brian.

Let's not mess around and throw 5 more pitches.

[adamwolff11]

Why in the hell would Wieters not be in the lineup tonight?

[Hank Scorpio]

Matusz has way too good of control over his fastball to be walking the leadoff guy to start off a game.

That kind of stuff is what leads to losses.

[nevadaO]

I wonder how many of our games this year we've given up a run (or more) in the 1st inning?

According to Roch, Samuel was planning on giving him two straight days off, either Sunday and Monday or Monday and today, and chose the latter.

Of course, that also shows the same kind of ability to respond to how players are performing that lost Dave Trembley support.

Great drop by Patterson to save a run.

[SammyBirdland]

The O's are on such a hot streak that even their errors save runs.

So Samuel decides that Wieters should get 2 days off in a row, whenever he's FINALLY starting to hit the ball a bit? It's not even a tough part of the schedule, he would have had off last Monday as well.

I'm sorry but that doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe DH him, but that's just stupid IMO.

Maybe we should give him a few more days off and see if we can cool him off.

Did Palmer just say that was a "quality at-bat" by Markakis? Lined out on the first pitch?
