Orioles @ Twinkies (4/2-4/4)

i didnt get too watch the game, i had a baseball tourny to play in, but it sounds like Bedard pitched like ****, and we scored a decent amount of runs off of Johan. I hope Cabrera's dominant tonight.

He wasn't that bad, he was just off, and the umpire's strike zone floated, a lot, which was really frustrating. The first HR off Bedard was a fast ball at the knees and on the outside edge that the batter hit the other way, so he hit a good pitch, and then Bedard threw a bad pitch up and away to Hunter for a HR... they hit good pitches and bad alike last night so I don't totally blame Bedard.

Does Gibbons have the best avg against Johan?

They said he was best on the Orioles against him, but technically I don't know if there is someone who may be 2-2 against him, but Gibby was best on the Orioles vs him

As for the comment on Bako catching Cabrera... if Cabrera has indeed turned the corner then it shouldn't be a problem, if he hasn't then he may as well stand 10 feet back and try to dive on the ball on each pitch....

Get healthy Ramon, cause if Bako looked lost catching Bedard, Cabrera could get outta hand.

Bako looked lost after getting nailed at home plate. However, I did see Bedard shaking Bako off time to time.

Cab gets hit by a Castillo liner, but is OK.

Punto K's and Castillo steals second.

11 strikes to 5 balls. Looks like D-Cab has the strike zone so far.

Inning was extended 3 pitches when he didn't get the 2-2 call on the black.

I'm going to have to break down and get the mlb.com pass so I can watch the games. Darn MLB sticking it to inDemand.

[TheDoyler23]

Quick second for Cab after Hunter gidp and the next batter popped out.

MoraMoraMora!!!!!!! 1-0 O's

Markakis with a near dinger off the baggy

[TheDoyler23]

Huff singles in Markakis, 2-0.

[aejm1400]

Nice to see some longballs after a dry spring for the O's.

[TheDoyler23]

Boof Bonser looks just like Sid Ponson out there. long delivery, that pause with the arm down, reliance on the 2 seam, etc.

[TheDoyler23]

1st and 3rd and no outs, Cuddyer hits a bullet to Miggi who makes a diving stab at the hole to turn 2. 2-1 O's, but Miggi just killed what could have been a big rally.

[TheDoyler23]

2-2 Twins on a grounder back to Cabrera that bounced off his glove. Killing himself with that since both runners were on via the walk. Should have been an error, but called a if hit.

[aejm1400]

In Cabrera fashion, he gives 1 walk in the 6th and strikes out 3. Overall I'm happy with Cabrera's pitching thus far.

[TheDoyler23]

Tyner walks, steals second and Bartlett gets a smashed bat single over the if.
