Indians 8, Orioles 2: Comedy of errors

by Stacey on May 15, 2010 10:20 PM EDT in Post-Game

The offense sputtered, the bullpen blew up, and Dave Trembley made a string of ridiculous decisions as the O's fell 8-2 despite 7 shutout innings by Brian Matusz. Check back tomorrow morning for a full recap and the inaugural edition of "Diamond Dave's Daily WTF," where we document the follies of our fearless manager.

Just want to suggest again that, despite the overall suckiness of this one, we do have an MBP poll in the full recap. I think Wiggy would likely win it, and he really deserves one by now.

I'd vote for Matusz.

He pitched 8 innings with no runs allowed, that pretty damn good.

That chart looks a little like throwing up.

Which, I’m sure a lot of the fans were doing, come to think of it.

matusz was sensational tonight from what i can see

but has anyone noticed that at times he’s looked, well, just plain bad?

I honestly thought Matusz was just ok tonight

I know he didn’t give up any runs, but he walked 4 batters to go along with 7 hits. 4 walks in 7 innings is living dangerously.

Wiggy deserves MBP for remembering to bring his bat to the yard

Just get the side out. Maybe give up a run-- fine, it happens. But we win the game. AM I GOING TOO FAST FOR ANYBODY?!?

Judas H. Priest, WTF kind of 9th inning was THAT?!?

Anyway, yeah — Hwhigglingggton for MBP, good over good ‘n’ lucky (7 H, 4 W).

Angry-angry-angry. I don’t mind getting beat 8-2. I do mind going into the 9th w/ a two-run lead and getting beat 8-2.

Well, Hernandez is up tonight. WTF, go O’s.

What a fucking disaster.

I was having a fucking great time, despite having to wait in line for 3 innings to get tickets (who the fuck knew so many walk ups would come to see the fucking Indians???), and then everything went to fucking shit in the 9th. I’m not going to lie, if I had been able to catch that HR and throw it back it almost would have made everything ok, but the fact that I blew it and the O’s lost just made it fucking brutal. Also my hand really hurts. And all my friends are watching the video on MLB.com over and over again and making fun of me. FUCK!

Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
