Was there tonight, but pretty sure my thoughts have already been expressed by others here. HRod's been good lately, so it was disappointing to see him get hit hard tonight. Captain Hook should have left Slaten in - apparently, Peacock didn't start the 6th because he wasn't ready (being a starter, he needed more more time to get ready). Well then, maybe Dentures could have had him start warming up earlier as everyone knew Stras wasn't going past 5. Bad move putting Peacock in when he did and setting him up to get nailed. As for Maya, I've seen enough of him. He always seems to be chugging along just fine, then he'll crash and burn in an instant. Take tonight - 2 quick outs on 5 pitches, then he can't get the third out for the life of him. Also, we don't deserve to win if our freaking offense strikes out SEVENTEEN freaking times. Eckstein needs to go.
Oh, as I write this at 12:54 a.m., I'm watching the O's as they just tied the Yankees in the 6th inning as they play in a ridiculous downpour (before the O's tied it just now, Giardi was pleading with the umps to call the game
). The game started over 4 hours late. I'm amazed that it stayed rain-free here (mostly) tonight for our game, but perhaps a rainout would have been better than the strikeout-fest we witnessed.
