Orioles @ White Sox 4/17/2012

[Matt P]

Chen looking good through 3 innings. Allowed 1 walk and 1 hit with 1 strikeout. 49 pitches so far.

Wieters has the only Orioles hit.

[Matt P]

Back to back walks to start the 4th by Reimold and Hardy and of course Markakis grounds into a double play.

I would move Nick down in the order until he starts hitting again.

[Matt P]

And Jones grounds out to second ... wasted opportunity.

[Matt P]

Reimold and Hardy back to back!!!

O's lead 3-0.

Chen - 5.1ip 6h 2er 2bb 4k

Got bailed out by O'Day as he left with men on 1st and 3rd. Once again he tired out.

[Rising O's]

That is what the BP is for, to bail these guys out of jams. Its been years since we've had a good one without too much dead weight.

[Rising O's]

7-4 in first. Feels good.

[Matt P]

Very nice play by Betemit to end the game. Johnson had me worried. You just can't walk the leadoff hitter in the 9th in a 1 run game.

I was so worried Betemit was going to throw that one away, that was a great play with the pressure on.


Ayala got lucky, I wonder how many games he will end up costing the Orioles this year. Mediocre stuff, poor command. He kind of reminds me of Jeremy Accardo.

[Matt P]

Yeah, I don't like Ayala at all either.
