Dang. Orioles lost today to the Rangers in the first of a day/night double header.
Final Score:
Orioles - 4
Rangers-6
:angry: :pout: Aaaaaargh.
Here's the Creepy Recap: (from CNN/SI)
A young pitcher, Sean Douglas was called up from Class AAA Rochester to fill out an overworked rotation. The right-hander was no match for the hard-hitting Rangers, who scored six runs on nine hits during his 3 2/3 innings of work.
After the game, Douglass was optioned to Rochester and replaced by reliever Jorge Julio, who was summoned from the same minor league club.
"[Douglass] is a young guy that was obviously a little nervous," Orioles manager Mike Hargrove said. "He got behind some hitters and got the ball up; you can't make those kind of pitches against that lineup and escape unscathed."
Jeff Conine and Tony Batista hit solo homers for the Orioles, who have lost 11 of 13 to fall a season-worst 12 games under .500.
Douglass, 22, threw 92 pitches before Hargrove put an end to the rookie's shaky debut.
"I felt good about the way I did, even though the numbers weren't good," Douglass said. "It's a load off my shoulders, getting the first one out of the way. I'll be back." (I like his attitude)
_______________
This is what the opposing pitcher Helling had to say about Douglass: "He obviously has a good fastball and he's not afraid to use it, which is a key here in the big leagues," Helling said. "It looks like he's got the makings of a good pitcher." (That's nice to say!:) )
Conine homered leading off the Orioles' half, his 10th of the season and first since June 27. (Yaaay, Jeff!!)
Oh, well. *sigh*
I was going to do a Peppy Play By Play, but tonight's game was cancelled because of a train derailment near Camden Yards, and hazardous materials filling the air. Yikes!
:uhoh: So tonight's game has been rescheduled for tomorrow, when there will be a split doubleheader.
So, that's all for tonight, folks!
