Gameday Thread: O's (32-31) @ Red Sox (40-27)
Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, Jun 11, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | HR | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Garrett Olson - LH | 8 | 44.1 | 3.86 | 1.42 | .270 | 3 | 16 | 32 | 5-1 |
![]() |
Bartolo Colon - RH | 4 | 23.0 | 3.91 | 1.39 | .280 | 1 | 6 | 15 | 3-1 |
HmmmBOY, are you FAT!
Colon is generously listed at 5'11", 245 pounds. Year by year of his baseball career, he becomes closer to a Dominican Danny DeVito.
Olson was good against Boston on May 31 (5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K).

you might have something there...I just get a little testy when the ball goes through the pitcher's
legs to start the game. Makes him look like a jerk. THEN he throws away an easy pickoff…THEN he throws a wild pitch…THEN he gives up a parking lot homer…THEN mascot gidp’s…Anger’s rising….pulse is quickening….rage is taking hold…aahhh fuck it. just a game

So…Olson looks good, huh?
Yuck. I can take the Red Sox hitting him all over the place. But the walks and the error? Ugly.
