Baltimore @ Cleveland, 8/11/2010, Game 2

[slappy12]

Ty Cobb was the biggest jerk in the history of the sport.

Jerk is the nicest word I can come up with and not get probated.

They probate here???

Is this 3 good games in a row from Bergy?

Indeed it is, following a start where he couldn't get out of the third or fourth.

[PrivateO]

Will Simon close tonight?

No. Unless Bergesen implodes in the 8th, he's pitching all 9. He hasn't even hit 80 pitches.

[trk001]

Still takes discipline to lay off the bad pitches and take the walk.

I specifically said "taking nothing away from his actual plate discipline".

He has more protection around him this year than he did last year. Are you saying that they just found out it was good to pitch around him?

Julio Lugo/Corey Patterson batting in front of him and Miguel Tejada batting afterwards is not more protection. At all. Period. He's just now getting protection from Roberts and Wigginton.

[Orioles Magic]

1-hitter so far...wow.

I wonder if Buck will give him a chance to go the distance.

[PrivateO]

Wieters the only player tonight without a hit.

Julio Lugo/Corey Patterson batting in front of him and Miguel Tejada batting afterwards is not more protection. At all. Period. He's just now getting protection from Roberts and Scott (who's having a career year that no one's seemed to notice).

Tejada was batting 2nd for most of the season. Markakis only has 110 Abs batting 2nd.

Infracted, maybe. I don't know. It's very hard for me not to swear around here. My sentences don't look like something I'd say.

He'll get the chance, if he gets through the 8th OK.

I hope he doesn't mind seeing Mike Gonzalez warming, though. The hook will be quick unless the O's put a couple more on the board.

Probated

Infracted

In a ****load of trouble

[backwardsk]

Would have been nice to tack on a run there with Jones getting on base to start the inning.

No Simon please. My heart can't take it.
