ORIOLES V RED SOX

THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2018, 7:10 PM AT FENWAY PARK

TV: NESN, MASN

BALTIMORE, (18-29)....................................................................................BOSTON, (29-14)

BALTIMORE:

KEVIN GAUSMAN, RHP, 3-2, 3.18 ERA, 42K

The Orioles righty will get an extra day for the second time in as many starts since
tossing a complete game in Oakland. Gausman surrendered a career-high in hits
against the Rays over the weekend, but he never gave in and was able to pick up the
win.

BOSTON:

DAVID PRICE, LHP, 3-4, 4.89 ERA, 38K

The lefty was strong in his return after missing one start due to carpel tunnel syndrome.
Facing the Blue Jays, Price allowed five hits and a run over 5 1/3 innings and struck out
six to earn the win.

What'd I tell you, what'd I tell all of you??????? There is Bradley once again in that damn lineup after only two more days on the pine. Really, is anyone surprised? Poor Blake Swihart needs to beg to get more than one start a week (and never does) but this bum keeps getting chance after chance after chance. I've also said this.....that this will keep up again and again until that bum is traded, released, DFA's or kidnapped by green cheese men from the Moon. Absolutely sickening. Don't think I'll even watch the game tonight; I am so pissed off.

Like Fred said, and about those that defy logic and prove the definition of 'insanity' time and again.

Price is being very efficient tonight. 54 pitches through 5 innings. Maybe he can go CG?

markj · May 17, 2018, 07:50:43 PM

Xander with another 3-run monster blast. Sox up 6-0.

About time we had a pitcher not throwing 90 pitches through 5 innings. Hopefully he can keep it up.

markj · May 17, 2018, 08:00:01 PM

62 thru 6. Getting close to 10/inning.

markj · May 17, 2018, 08:21:48 PM

71 thru 7. So far, his best outing of the season.

Schloicka · May 17, 2018, 08:35:45 PM

80 pitches through 8 innings. Hard to get much better.

markj · May 17, 2018, 08:55:18 PM

Damn!!! 2 outs in the 9th and Price gives up a 2-run dinger to tarnish the gem he's pitched.

markj · May 17, 2018, 08:57:02 PM

So close. Still a great outing for Price. Best all season, I think.

Schloicka · May 17, 2018, 08:58:36 PM

Pitched an excellent game. Great to see. Hopefully it starts a trend.

Hard to believe, isn't it Sea Dog???? It defies logic. And he keeps getting put in the lineup after a game or two. 0 for 3 tonight....again.... As someone on another board said, Bradley would have to lose a lot of weight to equal is eventual batting average......and the sickening beat goes on. BUT...Price was outstanding tonight, a complete game and two big bombs gave us a good business like win. We needed it and it would be nice to keep playing the kind of ball we played tonight. We need a winning streak and I don't mean a two or three game one.
