[Jordan Tuwiner]

Price's fastball was 95-98 mph for most of last season; sitting just 92-94 mph tonight.

Last year's - 2009 was an outlier while 2010 was right in line with 2007 and 2008.

[Shorebirdfan]

What was that like 6 pitches. That's a good inning.

all these goatees on this team makes me think of the South Park episode where they alternate reality had them.Maybe we went from the bad orioles to the good!

Yeah, agree here. Guthrie looks like a guy that is always going to outperform his peripherals.

In short, what I'm saying here is that Jeremy Guthrie is terribly, terribly underrated. In fact, Jeremy Guthrie is one of the most underrated players in baseball. Did you know that in 2010, only 9 pitchers in all of baseball had a lower on-base percentage against than Guthrie? Or that during his stay in Baltimore, he's 9th in baseball in that category.

All hitters seem to be hacking early.

Right as I say this he hits 97 & 98.

Who hits more homers by the end of the year: Vlad or Scott?

[BuckMagic]

Just me or does Reynolds look somewhat like Reimold in the box?

I say Scott. If he stays healthy. I think he is slowly becoming one of the better power hitters.

[Jordan Tuwiner]

No surprise here - Reynold's first out as an Oriole comes on a strike out.

Really depends on how Vlad holds up. If he struggles and can't stay at full strength for the course of the season I'll take Luke Scott. But if Vlad is completely healthy and doesn't tail off towards the end of the year, I'll go with him.

No surprise here - Reynold's first out as an Oriole comes on a strike out.

Yeah...we're going to have to get used to that.

[Oriolefan88]

so we take the 200 strikeouts as long as he gets us 30 hrs and over 100 rbi
