Baltimore Orioles at Cleveland Indians, Aug 12, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
7:05 / MASN2 :: 75° :: Wind in from LCF - 6 MPH
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Garrett Olson - LH 19 101.0 6.06 1.66 .305 14 42 58 8-6 Jeremy Sowers - LH 13 71.0 5.70 1.56 .296 13 26 40 1-6
Such a pitching matchup we have on hand tonight. Olson, bless his heart, has battled. You have to give him that. That eight and a third he threw against Seattle on August 1 might have hurt him in his August 6 start against the Angels. LAAofA tore him up for six earned in two and two-thirds. Or it might just be that he's inconsistent and not very good yet.
Sowers was the No. 6 overall pick in 2004 out of Vanderbilt, so he's a brainy fella. He was impressive in 14 starts when he came up in 2006, but has struggled since. It's always going to be tough for a guy with his K-rate to make it. This year's 5.25 K/9 is by far the best he's done in the majors as of yet. Sowers was born in West Virginia, went to high school in Louisville, college in Tennessee, and has been drafted by both Ohio teams. Lawd, he was bawn a ramblin' man.

Not such a bad thing to say
But how does he look in his Jockeys?

I always thought his delivery looked like Halladays
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

but he needs to be a starter

Everything he throws looks so heavy
I’m surprised he doesn’t break more bats

Didn't DD say something about fundamentals
at the beginning of the season? So why do we have a team that, to be fair, hits the ball pretty well, but then we have ties in the 8th with 13 LOB and 4 E?

He pitched better than the 2 ER he has right now…

Did he? hit the leadoff guy, two real hard hit balls, and then a 4 pitch walk...
First inning was good…
by O'sFan21 on Aug 12, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
the two hard-hit balls were on the ground
if they were 4 feet towards Roberts or Cintron, he would have been out of it.
