Many bullpens – like the very strong one we just saw in Cleveland – use flame throwers to get outs. The O’s, for the most part, go a different route. BSL’s Jeff Long takes a look. LINK
New Team, Same Results for J.J.
Jim Johnson made his return to the bigs on Sunday, for his new squad, the Detroit Tigers. He gave up three runs on two hits in just 2/3 of an inning. I hate to see him struggle like this. LINK
While Ubaldo Jimenez has certainly been bad, and has put the O’s in a tough spot, let’s not forget that the team scored a single run in the first two games in Cleveland. Give Matt Sroka’s Section 336 Daily a listen today. LINK
James Jerry Hardy’s power numbers are down this season, but his average is up AND he had two clutch game-tying two-out RBI this weekend in Cleveland. “Claude Cat” celebrates J.J. LINK
Who are the O’s getting the least bang for their buck out of? Guest blogger Andrew Stetka dives in over at MASN. LINK
