Chen vs. Peavy

[Mackus]

Peavy's struggled a bit his last couple starts.  10 hits and 8 walks in 12 innings.  Gonna need to get to him, because Chen's been getting hit around.  Hopefully he can bounce back and be effective, but I'm not super optimistic.  Buck needs another short leash tonight.

The walks Peavy has surrendered don't matter -- since we don't walk.

Feel free to give us the reverse jinx again though.

I think this is more or less the lineup, we'll be seeing the rest of the way, assuming we stay in contention. I think Wieters will get Saturday off (or atleast DH but with Valencia so good right now maybe not) on second thought, with the day after night game depending on matchups. But after that he's playing until we are out of contention. I wonder if Morse will find his way into the lineup pending injuries? Maybe spelling McLouth against LHP but that's it and I'm not sure how much if any that's an upgrade right now.

Damn, I didn't realize how bad it was. Tied for dead last with Milwaukee. Of course, being third in the league in slugging percentage is helpful in overcoming that.

[Mackus]

Morse should be playing for Markakis against lefties, not McLouth.  McLouth at least plays good defense.

Get to work from home tomorrow...drinking during the game thread!

[Mackus]

Well Peavy certainly didn't struggle in the first.

 

Come on Chen!  Need a good start from him.  Also, Chen needs a nickname. 

[You Play to Win the Game]

Haha, Jones signalling the 1 out in Center. What a nut.

[Oriole85]

Nice red sweater from headphones guy.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Wow. 

[Oriole85]

Just your typical Orioles first inning there.

[Mackus]

Awful.  Man Chen has been terrible lately.  Get it together!

[You Play to Win the Game]

Not sure what's up with Chen of late, but he's really crapping the bed for us at the most inopportune time here.

I got nothing.

 

Pedro... McNulty? What say you guys?

Koji if Koji Sucked....sticking with the Asian theme.

Probably not the best time to be working on it.  Should wait until he's pitching well so we're feeling a bit more magnanimous towards him.

[You Play to Win the Game]

21 pitches later, Chen's out of it, but 2-0 Red Sox. This game is the only 7 PM game with a score currently... the Rangers/Rays are scoreless in the 2nd, same with the Yanks/Jays.

Hah.  Rob demonstrates the need for the delay
