Ridiculously long at-bat from Q ends in a strikeout, but it took 12 pitches.

Who is this Bergesen f***?

Pretty nasty sink by this guy on his pitch. This is the type of guy Thome needs to crush.

Cy Bergesen is his name.

 

I guess that gun's about 2 MPH too fast. That means Contreras should be at 91-94 tonight.

Dude, take it easy. It's only been one inning

Nicely done Jose. Nothing hit hard.

Gameday plugged Jose at 92.4 on average in the first.

One of the O's pitching prospects, they have a lot. He just got called up and this is his MLB debut.

If he's healthy, only time people hit Jose hard is if he's falling behind people. He threw 13 pitches, 8 strikes in that inning.

Thome has been making quite a few weak outs on first pitches lately.

He'd rather ground out weakly into the shift on the first pitch.

Followed by a 4 pitch walk to JD.

It was kind of rhetorical.

Vintage Konerko.

GIDPK~

First of many double plays by the Sox tonight. This might be the worst possible pitcher for them to face.

Well, I'll give Kong a pass this time. He rarely grounds into DP's.

We're going to crush Bergesen his 2nd time around, me thinks.

If Jose can't start locating his splitter, he's going to have a hell of a time getting lefty hitters out. He can only throw them fastballs right now.

Are you watching a different game or are you just feeling super pessimistic tonight? He's getting ahead of everyone and hasn't given any reason of concern right now.

Stoney just said the same thing. Since he can't throw his slider to lefties, he needs to keep the hitters honest. He threw a better splitter to Zaun in that last AB...and damn, the Orioles have a ton of lefties.

I'm glad to see count's velocity up. His breaking stuff will come around. When Chicago warms into Havana this summer.

no-no still in effect
