Excellent way to start the inning
you freaking idiot. At least throw some strikes
by Y Not on Jun 10, 2008 6:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
When you have a four run cushion
You gotta throw strikes. Let your defense make some outs.

christ. the red sox are true gamers.
down by 3 runs, they fight their way back to take the lead against the hapless baltimore orioles. dustin pedroia PLOINKED by a Cabrera offering. JD Drew punishes Cabrera by taking him deep to right field. That’s what you get for plunking Pedroia. In fact, for good measure – RAMIREZ takes Cabrera deep as well – his 15th for the year. The Red Sox go on to win this game. It’s good times in Beantown, as the Boston Celtics are also reigning supreme. Might as well call it title town.

he came right back and got the next 3. and his pitches looked decent. 95mph with movement.
it’s not a QS, but he’s not pitching badly either. boston has a pretty good offense after all.

Short version
1) Bad Danny showed up.
2) 1-0 PHN, but Danny gutted it out.
3) The O’s offense for the week showed up. 4-1 good guys
4) Bad Danny comes back. Boo, Bad Danny. Back to back by JD Drew and Manny. Boo PHN.
5) The O’s offense for NEXT week showed up early as Oki came in. I’m guessing Terry lost a bet and the pay off was he had to bring Oki in against us. 7-6 good guys.
6) Sarfate is dealin’.
That’s where we are…

Yeah they are still available
But any time you use a reliever you take a little bit out of him for the next day. They are in the mindset of only going 2-3 outs at most anyways, so when you get them up and have them warm up for half an inning then go on the mound and then pitch the inning it takes a little bit out of them.

agreed.
the teams of the past decade would’ve starting thinking about their golf games, dinner plans, and “road meat” long about the 6th inning of a game they were trailing, apparently, and forget how to play baseball.

You gotta admit...
Road meat is pretty distracting.

"Road Meat"
Ha! Is that an official term and was it approved by the Oakland subcommittee?

didn't it come from Canseco's book?
I mean, I don’t imagine that Canseco invented the term or anything…but I know that’s where I first heard it.

Haw-haw, Bad Daniel showed up - and we still won!
Our mighty bullpen is actually, well, sort of mighty—still hard to get used to. Anyway, this one basically sounds like a Fenway game, only with us in the role of the Red Sox.
We have now completed a successful series, sweeping 1 out of 3. Eat death, PHN!
Olson tonight—piece o’ cake. Go O’s!

still 9 more than a lot of people ever expected
i’m hoping good danny returns in his next game. let’s face it, danny vs boston is danny with less room for error than usual. i actually thought his pitches looked okay.
