I said yesterday that Jim Johnson had to have a day off today. Now we know who might just be the key to this team’s success. Just some thoughts.
I was surprised to see Buck leave Matusz in to face right handed slugger Cespedes. But if Buck has lost confidence in Tommy Hunter then his only alternative was Pedro. Enough said. Right now Pedro Strop is a disaster on the mound. His entrance into the game signaled defeat.
Look at the BA of the Oriole starters:
McClouth—.351
Machado–.302
Markakis—288
Adam Jones–352
Chris Davis—349
Matt Wieters 210
JJ Hardy–198
Flaherty—115—That’s correct
Reimhold—210
If the bottom half of the lineup ever ignites look out!!!
