I hate it when people complain about first-pitch swinging.  It's usually a dumb, result-driven complaint, because almost every hitter hits very well on first pitches.  Unless it's immediately following a 4-pitch walk or a really wild stretch, or if it's a situation where getting on base is crazy important, a hitter looking for, getting, and swinging at a pitch they like is a good thing.

 

That said, when Jones is going bad, like right now, he's very easy to get out.

WOW. Manny being Manny over at 3rd. 1-2-3 inning for MacFarland.

Damn, Machado is something special...

Holy Machado.

Damn, Cruz is not only very ugly, he is even uglier when completely confused as to what the hell happend.

Kinda getting sick of AJ showing his frustration at the plate when he hits a MIMS-esque pop-up/flyout when he poutingly drops his bat, slumps his shoulders, puts his head down, and jogs off down the base path.

Embarassing...

I'm still thinking about that Manny play. That was incredible.

[fishteacher]

Wow...Imagine that...the Yankees get a bullshit call in their favor....

 

He was out by over a foot!  Complete horseshit!

[Adam Wolff]

Upon review, that one wasn't close. Bad miss for the umpire there, hope it doesn't cost us.

2nd time this series the O's pitchers have had a runner picked off and haven't been able to get the out at 2nd. High throw from Davis.

But this time the runner was out and the ump blew.................the call.

Dickerson can't even get a bunt down and pops it up.

Seriously is he the best we can do?

Another pathetic 1-2-3 inning for our offense and we get Mr. Metallica in the 9th.

Offense just really struggling today. To be fair, Kuroda has been awesome at home, but still. This is tough so far.

Was just scouring our AAA & AA rosters, and there's just a void of positional players who could come up to contribute...quite sad actually.

Pathetic offensive performance this week.

Just gotta ride it out and hope either Reimold starts hitting or that Urrutia earns a call-up from Norfolk I guess.

[Adam Wolff]

Oh wow that was close. What a fucking tease.

[Mashed Potatoes]

Ugh!

[Adam Wolff]

Jones, just don't ground into a DP. At least give Davis an AB.
