Derrek Lee out at the plate on a perfectly executed relay from the left field wall.


Nice.

That should give our batters a little spark.

Alfredo "Don't call me Griffin" Simon has one hit us thru one out in the 5th.

What a lineup the Tribe has today: the bottom four have OPS of 605, 593, 599 and 444.

The fact that OC's is only a dozen points better than Kearns' and six points better than Marson's does add to the case for Kipnis

This game is zipping along.

We go to our 6th a little over an hour from first pitch.

Still 2-0 dirty birds.

There we go....

Infield hit for Kearns on a ball the pitcher maybe shouldn't have picked up.


To that point Alfredo Simon had faced the minimum as Brantley was doubled up after his hit.

And our tying runs are on with no outs.

Civ, Kearns and Marson must have seen your post....

And now Carrera needs to bring them in with a triple.

Orioles announcers note that a couple AAA guys from Norfolk are now in Atlanta on their way to Baltimore for tomorrow's game.



Carrera robbed of a double by Derrek Lee.


Runners do advance

Brantley looking for his 2nd hit of the game....

And gets it!

2-2

A swinging bunt by Kearns and a walk to Marson produce two runs.

Carrera and Brantley both smoked the ball.

And so did Asdrubal as he launches a fly that would have likely cleared the the fence if not caught.

2 down, runner at 3rd

Orioles pitching to Hafner with two out and a runner on 3rd.

And Hafner flies out to right on a 0-1 pitch.

To the bottom of the 6th with a clean slate.

2-2

You're doing a great job this inning TFISC, keep it up!

Just working off the energy, Civ....




Actually I do like to come back in here and read posts when I occasionally miss a game.
