Girardi critical of Guthrie's plunkings | orioles.com: News
Yes, Joe Girardi is still whining about the fact his plate-crowding players occasionally get in the way of an inside pitch when Jeremy Guthrie is on the mound. I say call 'em out for failure to avoid being hit, myself.
Orioles Insider: Guthrie answers Girardi's questions about plunking Yankees
"He understands that he has a great pitcher over there in A.J. that his hit more guys than I have," Guthrie told Zrebiec. "I watch and appreciate the aggressive nature that A.J. takes in throwing to both sides of the plate and I think I’m a similar pitcher. One of the occupational hazards when you do that is you are occasionally going to hit some guys, but you can’t let that affect what you do. Hitting guys intentionally is something totally different, but pitching inside has to be part of what I do to be effective." Seems I'm not the only one that can read a stat sheet. Way to stick up for yourself, Guts. And I love the dead-pan Stanford humor.

Guess who's hit three more batter this year than Jeremy Guthrie? That's right, A.J. Burnett, who has hit 16 batters to Guts' 13. Shut up, Joe Girardi. You're a stupid liar. Your own guy has hit more batters than Guts.

Orioles Insider: Orioles get look at Loux
"The Orioles did have a scout in attendance at Barret Loux’s bullpen session earlier this week in Texas. Loux, a right-handed pitcher out of Texas A&M who was taken sixth overall in the 2010 draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks, failed his physical and didn’t sign with Arizona because of concerns about his shoulder and elbow. He was later declared a free agent effective Sept. 1 and he’s free to sign with any club."
