Danks just totally lost his focus in that AB, and Markakis hit a very cheap homer. Roberts dominates us more than any other leadoff hitter. Beckham or the coaching staff fell asleep with Roberts up to bat.

How the hell did he hit that out? He was so far out in front.

Markakis out in front of a changeup one handed it out.

Danks looks like s***. Nothing he is throwing looks sharp.

whats new - markakis always seems to murder the sox

Lots of just misses so far by Baltimore. Danks doesn't have that power change-up which makes him so effective yet.

Beck HAM/Bacon HBP

What game you watching?

It just makes no sense for Quentin to not be up with the big league team. If he still has soreness, then don't play him in the minor league rehab games either!

Ouch!

Just because he's striking out a few players doesn't mean his stuff is as crisp as usual. His fastball is down a few MPH and his changeup has hung more than a few occasions already in the second inning; including the HR.

Danks- 40+ pitches for 6 outs.

Make that 9 outs.

Alexei .321 w/ RISP

Nice job by Alexei on the sac fly. Adam Jones is so graceful out there in CF.

Poor math skills. I apologize.

It's so damn nice to have players that can score from 1st on a double. This pitcher is really bad, be nice to break the game open.

top of the order seems to be coming through....nice hit by JD

They pay the hitters too.

No they dont

Way to go Dye ! RBI double goes to third on on E on Izturis on the throw home.

And it's the 1st time we've seen him.
