Wei-Yin Chen (LHP) vs. Clay Buchholz

[You Play to Win the Game]

With a few folks out on vacation, it looks like I'll be stuck listening on the radio today. Not the worst thing in the world, at least I'm not in a meeting.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Interested to see the lineups.

[BaltBird 24]

Not at all interested to see how poor we look in an  11:05 AM away game. Hopefully Chen's on his game or this one could get ugly. Buchholz hasn't been terribly sharp so hopefully our power bats wake up, but I don't expect to see Hardy or Wieters.

@EddieInTheYard #Orioles lineup at #RedSox: Markakis DH, Cruz RF, Davis 1B, Jones CF, Clevenger C, Schoop 3B, Flaherty SS, Lombardozzi 2B, Lough LF, Chen P

Wow what a 5-9...

We'll probably score about 15 runs today....

I suppose they could've had Delmon Young and not Lough but they probably wanted the lefty/right matchup here. You knew Wieters wasn't going to start with the very early start time after last night.

Reverse psychology?

I fell asleep when it was 5-0 last night. I'm going to skip today's game and just assume we went 2-0 over the last two games.

Davis and Jones power drought can't last forever. Jones is looking like he could break out soon. Flaherty and Lough are also due for a good day.

Adam Jones did go 4-for-5 yesterday with a double (yeah no homers, but still).

"Working from home" for the early part of the day.  Gonna have to go in later until like 10pm, but hey, I get to watch the game on my couch!

That might be fun for 3 innings.

[Pedro Cerrano]

When did our offense become so disgusting?  Jesus what an awful awful lineup.

[Dr. FLK]

Poor, poor Chen.

[Dr. FLK]

I want Delmon Young over Lough forever.  Every game.  Every, single game.

The defeatist attitude that's so pervasive around here is just embarrassing.  Giving up before the game's even started? 

 

We're a good team.  We'll play like a good team over the course of the season.  We're not even playing particularly badly right now, still around .500 with a tough schedule, without our best or 2nd best player, missing Hardy for half the games, and not gotten Davis or Jones going really well yet.

 

I just don't understand why so many people seem to be so afraid.

[BaltBird 24]

I sympathize with the Boston Marathon bombing victims and everyone affected by it, but I really don't need it crammed down my throat every half inning. By about the second inning last night I was already sick and tired of "Boston Strong."

[BaltBird 24]

I'm not sure how I feel about playing a ball game at 11AM. Any first pitch before 1 just doesn't seem right to me.

[BaltBird 24]

Oh God, Dave Johnson in the booth. Mute now.
