It was almost fine worthy how small the plate was for O's pitchers and how big the plate was for Yanks pitchers. I don't like to blame the umps for calls (as a long time player I know it can be easy to blame them and hard for them to genuinely see the whole thing) but this entire series was laughable. Some of the 'balls' were in the hitters zone that made me salivate (little bit up and in). Actually, 2 of the Yankees 'wins' were strikeouts. It almost had me throwing my 2k dollar laptop at my 2k dollar TV. It is nice getting some fair calling when playing the rest of idk, every team in the league (besides the Red Sox too). I expected the team to collapse after that sweep. The way they battled back (with a complete effort) makes me think we may actually have a team here in charm city again! (I am going to keep wearing my 90-2000s birds hat to display my pride during the bad years) There is SO MUCH MONEY here in MD. Imagine if all those 'Yankees and Red Sox' fans with their mythological 'great uncles who were from somewhere near the cities' actually became Orioles fans. We would compete for the AL east EVERY YEAR. We need 2-3 good Showalter magic seasons and we could see our own O's dynasty.VTHokie28https://www.blogger.com/profile/05194837845905984826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-10769468629567874082012-04-11T07:31:48.386-04:002012-04-11T07:31:48.386-04:00Philip, Wada should be able to slide into a bullpe...Philip, Wada should be able to slide into a bullpen role once he's ready to throw at the ML level. I imagine, once healthy, he will get the opportunity to step in for the first injured or struggling arm.Nick J Falerishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413352719310759010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-4146257154523425742012-04-10T14:00:42.352-04:002012-04-10T14:00:42.352-04:00Definitely agree there were a few strikes missed. ...Definitely agree there were a few strikes missed.
