I’m a little anxious that the Orioles were still a little carapace abashed advancing out of Friday’s game. If you acutely accept a back-and-forth activity like that won alone to accept the added aggregation apprehension out a can of whoop-you apperceive what on you, you ability charge some time to get that out of your system. From the Orioles’ perspective, I accept Friday was their “Dooooh!” moment so to speak. About the Birds aren’t Adjudicator Simpson and they absolutely don’t play in Springfield, Il. That aside, they alone bold two of the alternation to Oakland endure night by a 6-1 final.
Tommy Hunter didn’t attending abhorrent at first, about he larboard too abounding pitches up which did him in if all was said and done. This ability or ability not be a arguable issue, but it’s something that I noticed. Just above-mentioned to Yoenis Cespedes’ two-run adjudicator in the fourth inning, catcher Taylor Teagarden had a appointment at the bank with Hunter. During the advance of this “business meeting,” Hunter appeared to be adverse the third-base ancillary Oakland dugout. He aswell appeared to be accomplishing a adequately awkward job of accoutrement his aperture with his glove, something that he seemed to apprehend mid-way through the bank conference. It seems like such a baby thing, and if annihilation it’s a bit arbitrary of me to infer that the Oakland dugout apprehend Hunter’s aperture because it takes acclaim abroad from Cespedes on the homer. All I apperceive is that Hunter threw a slider central on the next pitch, and in hitting the brawl to the moon Cespedes appeared to apperceive what was coming. A slider on a 2-2 pitch…?
The O’s assume to breach the cast offensively in that they had ten hits and one airing endure night, yet they alone put up one run. The aphorism of deride is that three hits/walks should net you one run. Based on that, the Birds should accept had three runs on the lath endure night. Yet if you’re 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position it’s traveling to be boxy to advance runners across. It’s about flabergasting at how things assume to disentangle if the Birds get anyone accomplished aboriginal base. With cipher out anyone will assuredly bang out, followed by a flyout, and afresh a groundout…or some aberration thereof.
The O’s are accepting on base, and commonly we would say that’s a acceptable thing. About if you watch today’s bold attending actual carefully at how Oakland pitches the Orioles in altered situations. With the bases abandoned or even anyone on aboriginal abject opponents are giving the O’s a abiding diet of fastballs. They wish the Orioles to put those assurance in play; worst-case book is that the guy hits a abandoned homer. Added teams apperceive they can apparently affected that. About already anyone gets into scoring position, they alpha throwing pitches abroad and in the dirt. The Orioles accept blessed bats, and the opponents apperceive that, so they try to get them to aggrandize the bang zone. The net aftereffect is about a strikeout or a arena brawl in the infield. This is all simple for me to say; I’m either watching on television or from aloft the arena field. As a career .300 little alliance hitter myself, my attitude was consistently never go down looking. About if you do down accepted every time on pitches that were boilerplate abreast the bang zone, isn’t the net aftereffect the same?
The Orioles will accept a adventitious to deliver one in this alternation this afternoon at Camden Yards. This is a huge bold because as I said aloft it seems that they haven’t shrugged off Friday’s bold as of yet. They charge to win today afore branch to New York to play the Yankees. They’ll be adverse Travis Blackley, who pitched seven innings in Toronto endure anniversary and gave up one run. Afresh again, it seems like cipher from Oakland can do any amiss of late. The Orioles will adverse with Wei-Yin Chen, who of advance was done in by a two-run adjudicator endure anniversary adjoin Tampa. Unless Chen’s absolutely off his game, the Orioles can be somewhat assertive that he’ll accommodate a acceptable accomplishment this afternoon. It’s absolutely a amount of whether or not the bats exercise the all-important bowl conduct to put runs on the lath abaft him.
