O's already up 3-0 vs. Tampa Bay, Aug. 13

Nice AB Nick. We keep the inning going and maybe wecan get him out, but no lets swing at the first pitch and let him off the hook for another inning.:cussing:

Get real. It was an 89-MPH fastball down the middle of the plate.

[El Gordo]

Can't agree. Nick had seen' date=' like, 15 or so pitches in his first two ABs. You have to trust a guy with his OBP to be able to swing at a first pitch now and again.[/quote'] A team AB would be to work the count because the guy was up to close to 80 with one out. It would also help if he didn't get himself picked off at 1B.:angryfire:

Ha, Viv just confirmed that Buck is wearing the jacket because he hates the orange uni's.

He should be dumped for a trip to Boogs.

Guthrie is pitching very well tonight besides a few walks he's doing outstanding grounding the Rays to just one hit.

I think Buck will send Pie.

[LA2]

Pie just broke the .300 BA line (.304). If Bell and Wieters break through, I wd say it becomes the type of lineup that can carry Izturis.

Im not sure we will have much of a choice...

[SammyBirdland]

Showalter purposefully steps right on the foul line chalk to challenge any sort of fears or superstitions. That's awesome.

No way! Not after all the pickoffs and near-pickoffs.

[LA2]

Can't believe they sent Pie. Good call mrbig1!

[allsighs]

for someone who looks so fundamentally uncomfortable stealing, glad to see *someone* running.

Nice steal.

[Arthorn]

Looks like Wieters is trying to knock Shields out of the game.

[mrbig1]

Can't believe they sent Pie. Good call mrbig1!

Just a lucky guess my friend.

[allsighs]

We should send Pie for third...they will NEVER see it coming...
