thundercleetz Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Orioles are playing great baseball. The defense is bulletproof. It took us a whole season last year to get our defense straight. This year we will have a full season of solid defense, baring injury. I think that will go a long way in stopping potential losing streaks. The starting pitching still worries me a little bit, but Hammel, Chen, Gonzo, and Tillman seem to have our 1-4 locked up. If we could just get one more guy to be consistent I think we would be set. We could probably use another bat as well. As it is, we do not have a DH that can hit RHP. Pierce crushes LHP, but RHP is giving our DH spot a lot of trouble. Another well rounded bat would be nice. The Cuban player we signed, Henry Urrutia is a 26-year old 1B/OF that is currently crushing the ball at AA Bowie in his first ever minor league season (.339/.403/.589/.993 2 HR 15 RBI in 14 G). Maybe this guy can give us some hitting depth later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varaven45 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Something is seriously wrong with Jim Johnson. The guy needs a week off and clear his head. He is blowing the season for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varaven45 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Really. These football game scores and 9th inning blown leads make the old Don Stanhouse days seem like a walk in the park. Buck and Co need to put the wheels back on the cart, quick.We cant expect the O to put up 12-15 runs every game, though that's how it's looking now.

vmax Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 OK...the bump in the road is over. Moments after they beat the Yankees 3-2 in 10 innings on Nate McLouth’s walk-off home run, news broke that the team was calling up pitching prospect Kevin Gausman from Double-A Bowie to make his major league debut Thursday in Toronto.Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-thoughts-an-observations-on-the-arrival-of-orioles-pitching-prospect-kevin-gausman-20130521,0,4716016.story#ixzz2U3qJBUGr A win tonight would be huge....Hammel on the mound.

varaven45 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 It's official - Jim Johnson is blowing this season for the Os . He was a beast last year but is killing us this year. How many more BS are we going to have to watch before Buck makes a change or gives Johnson a month off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 How do you give a player a month off? How do you "fix" a guy without letting him pitch? How are four games "this season?" What about the multiple games blown by errors or leaving men on base or starters who only go 4 or 5 innings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I am joking of course but Johnson's performance doesn't bode well. Even though its still early, these blown leads are starting to take their toll.Buck and Co need to figure this out...quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
