Game Thread: Phillies-Orioles Monday in Baltimore

[Retroram52]

End of the third inning and this lame offense has scored no runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Harang throwing strikes and the outfielders are catching the results.

 

[Retroram52]

1-2-3 by Harang. Easy inning. Going to the fourth with no runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Beautiful bunt by Cesar Hernandez and the Baltimore third basemen let it go hoping it would go foul and it didn't. Let's go Franco.

 

[Retroram52]

3-6-1 double play and Chen covered beautifully. Nice basic baseball technique.

 

[Retroram52]

And Howard looks like the dumb lardass that he is swinging at anything. 1-2-3 down and still no runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Harang walks Muchado

 

[Retroram52]

Rupp throws a wild pitch to second and the ball gets through Galvis to the outfield and Muchado heads to third.

 

[Retroram52]

Harang bails out Rupp with a pitch that gets a hit to Galvis for the out and holds Muchado at third.

 

[Retroram52]

Last hit was a pop-up as Harang jammed the batter and he bails out the horrible throw by Rupp with no runs this inning. Onto the 5th inning we go.

 

[Retroram52]

And Utley hits into the shift. Duh!

 

[Retroram52]

Chen strikes out Asche who stood there looking. He's been hanging around Howard too much.

 

[Retroram52]

Despite all of the stupidity, this has become a pitcher's duel.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche misses an easy catchable fly ball in left. Another player whose career has been trashed by this insane organization.

 

[Retroram52]

Hardy gets a RBI hit and the player that Asche let on base with the missed fly ball scores.

 

[Retroram52]

On to the six with this bunch of screw-ups.

 

[Retroram52]

Just six pitches to get out the Phillies. lol.

 

[Retroram52]

What the hell. The batter hits a pitch back to Harang and instead of attempting to stop the hit, Harang jumps over the ball like it is a grenade and it scoots into the outfield. I have never seen such lack of effort or desire to do the little things to win.

 

[Retroram52]

Two and 2 out. This could get ugly pretty quick.

 

[Retroram52]

And there it is. Harang serves a 3-run Homer. Baltimore up 4-0. This is useless.
