Yeah! 0-2 to start the season. Um, Mr.Cabrera? I know yesterday I asked you not to walk anyone (and you only walked 4 while striking out 9, not bad) but could you also try and not let the opposing team run wild around the bases? The Twins stole four bases off of you and (supposed) defensive specialists Alberto Castillo and thats not good, especially when two of those runners scored after stealing.
I didn’t actually watch this game so my observations are all based soley on the game story/boxscore but whats the deal with the offense? Melvin hit a HR yesterday, which is nice, but Roberts, Markakis and Millar are all struggling. Those first two are going to have to step up if we have any shot of being good this year. Not to mention I have both Roberts and Markakis on my fantasy team. Come on guys, I need you! Do it for me!
Its new Oriole Jared Wright (I remember when he was a stud with the Indians, now not so much) vs. new Twin Ramon Oritz tonight as the O’s try to avoid a depressing season-starting sweep. Oritz is weird, sometimes he can be lights out, other times he sucks. I remember going to see him last year when he was with the Nationals and he almost threw a perfect game against the Cardinals AND he hit a HR. It was crazy. Hope he sucks tonight.
UPDATE: Here’s an interesting Will Carroll thing wondering why the Twins stole so much last night.
