[You Play to Win the Game]

Felix Hernandez's last three games:

3-0, 0.78 era, 23.0 ip, 17 h's, 0 hr's, 3 bb's, 30 k's, 68% Str%

Enters tonight with a 15 inning scoreless streak.

In other words, we have our work cut out for us.

Would love to see Chen duel with King Felix tonight. He's going to have to be very sharp for us to have a shot at winning.

BRob to DL... Shocker.

Anyone around for the game thread tonight?

[Chris B]

I really can't explain it, but just listening to Jim Thome interviews, I really like the guy. Comes off as a really nice, personable dude.

Every time he speaks I imagine him sitting on a tractor.

Over/Under 10 Ks for Felix, 12 for the team.

[Chris B]

I gotta admit, that King's Court is pretty cool.

Avery strikes out to start the game, but he does make Felix throw 7.

[Chris B]

Quick, hitless inning for the Birds.

[JeffLong]

Over/Under 10 Ks for Felix, 12 for the team.

I'm taking the over on both by the way.

[JeffLong]

A little upset I'm missing the SD/ARI game.

Bauer K'd the side in the first and gave up a 2 run HR in the 2nd.
Cashner hits 100 mph in the 2nd inning.

EDIT:

Lucas Apostoleris ‏@DBITLefty
Cashner's called strike three to Chris Young: 101 mph

[Chris B]

And a quick inning for Chen.

[Chris B]

That wind was insane on that one. Wow I'd hate to have that place be my home park. I like offense.

[Chris B]

Seriously one of the worst feelings in the world is watching your team play late-night on the West Coast and them losing.

This past December, Xavier was playing in Hawaii for some tournament and I decided to stay up for the 2 PM start time. The game didn't start until 2:30 AM, went to overtime, and we ended up losing the game. It was the worst.

[JeffLong]

If Felix gets that strikezone he'll strikeout 15.

Only 1 ball in that AB was remotely close to being a strike.

[Chris B]

Questionable strikeout on Thome...

Wind blowing in from center = no homers = Orioles loss
