Castro taking lessons from Chris Davis?

Yes. but i thought that at one point with Jose Ramirez as well though... so.

How Bout' That

[jimbo92107]

So Gausman has high 90's heat, a good change up, a decent curve... Yet somehow, he gets destroyed. His fastball is hot, but it's flat with almost no movement. His change up is good, but not devastating. His curve is merely decent, not a plus pitch. I can see how after seeing him a couple times, hitters have figured him out.

Vargas!!

 

Tie game.

[Blake]

 

This young core is something else. 

I think I'll say it again: This young core is something else.

[Aggies7]

[TwinsCD]

Annnnnnnnnnd we're all tied up!!

 

As I said in a thread in last nite's game story -- when the wheels start wobbling on the Orioles wagon, it turns into a full junkyard.

[Huddy]

Whoever is announcing the batters at the stadium... is really throwing me off.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, nice swing by Vargas. Drilled that ball low on the outside corner. Power on the outside corner. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Vargas stays on the bag, and does not get doubled off second by a line to short right next to the bag.

[King]

Just a side note but I loved Miguel Castro as a prospect with Toronto. His development was nuked by Alex Anthopoulos promoting him to MLB closer after pitching less than 30 innings in full season ball.

They let kids do it for an inning

[spinowner]

OK boys, keep stringing them together. Don't let up.

Gimenez stole a strike in this AB...

[Aggies7]

[jimbo92107]

And all statistics are officially out the window. 

[Puckett34]

Maybe they need to let Polonco have the rest of the weekend off and let Escobar finish the first half

[jimbo92107]

Polanco is looking pretty awkward at the plate...

[amjgt]

Oh, goody... it's Presley time.

[bighat]

What fun.  When I saw 6-0 I thought...ya never know, it's early.  When the score hit 6-2 I turned on the game and wheeee! 

 

Whoever that little kid is working the P.A. booth, keep him/her in there for good luck!

[amjgt]

Oh, goody... it's Presley time.

Nevermind... Molly stretching Hildenberger for no reason

Well here comes Hildenberger's first MLB earned run..

[Danchat]

 

 

Nevermind... Molly stretching Hildenberger for no reason

Because he wants to avoid having Pressly pitch, of course.

[Blake]

 

Oh, goody... it's Presley time.

The Twins take the lead:

Pressly comes in:

Just imagine this thread if we were on OriolesDaily.com

The Orioles have their own forum, pretty similar in design/layout to this one actually. But It's one of the worst baseball forums I've seen, in terms of blatant homerism and unknowledgable fans..

[Puckett34]

 

Because he wants to avoid having Pressly pitch, of course.

Just so he can bring Pressly in with a 1 run lead because of reasons.
