MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2005 Orioles won again. 10 unanswered runs after Ponson got roughed up and they were down 8-2, they went on to win 12-8.

fairtoflair7 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2005 MR. Matsui just won a few more Met fans back tonight after his clutch game winning homer in the bottom of the 7th. Hopefully he'll get his confidence back up. Tommorrow Glavine is pitching so maybe he can make it 2 in a row for himself and 3 in a row for the Mets in general before George's boyz come into Shea. I'm looking to take 2 of 3 from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted May 18, 2005 My theory on Kolb is he's been with the Brewers with basically no pressure on him, now he's in a high pressure situation and can't handle it, or hasn't adapted to it. Either that or he just sucks and it was masked with the Brewers. (well, somewhat masked, since everyone was pointing to his low strikeout rate) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2005 Oh, now your comparing them. After I get bashed for saying the same thing a week ago. Seriously though, it was a stress free 133 pitches.

Guest OSIcon Report post Posted May 18, 2005 With no help from your pitching. As the Yankees learned last year, you'll need pitching eventually. The starting pitching has generally been good. Bedard has had one bad start out of eight when he let up 8 runs to Detroit in April. He hasn't allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of his other seven starts. Bruce Chen has a 3.38 ERA and again, has only had one bad start (5 runs agaisnt Boston). The other three (Lopez, Cabrera, and Ponson) have been really good at least a few times on the season, though they *do* need to be more consistent. At most, they've only had three games at most where they had to out-slug their opponent after a bad starting pitching performance in order to win. The starting pitching on days they win has generally been good. The starting pitching has even been good on a bunch of games they've lost. It is a big question mark if it will hold up, but based on the season so far, it is unfair to classify the O's as a team with no pitching and all hitting. The bullpen has also been really good. They do need to try and make a deal around the All-Star break for a starting pitcher if they are still in the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He completley dominated the entire game, it was just the 9th where he had trouble. Who defended Baker for letting Zambrano throw that many pitches? I thought it was idiotic even though I saw why he did it. And Zambrano cruised in that game until the ninth when he let the leadoff man get on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
