The Official 2012 Watching The Scoreboard Thread

Chris Davis could be the first person in history to go 0 for 8 and be the winning pitcher in a ballgame.

No, I'm not bothering to look that up because there's no way that's happened before.

Evan J. has the thread all queued up.

Actually, I think I may have done that in a softball game once ...

[conkermaniac]

For the love of God, I hope the O's bring in the starter whose throw day it is. I have no faith in Chris Davis to hold this lead.

[hellonewman]

PLeadoff man on.

Looking ahead to Gonzalez/Ortiz ... who's the Orioles' LOOGY position player?

Strange as this sounds, shouldn't we be rooting for the Red Sox here? We're trying to catch Baltimore, among others.

You know what, on second thought, forget that. Go O's.

[hellonewman]

Dammit Buck, bring in Markakis!

EDIT: Never mind, Davis Ks him!!! hahahahahaaaaa

[sweet_lou_14]

Hahahahahahahahahaha Gonzalez K's

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

Nice looking "changeup" by Davis!

[hellonewman]

O's win!!!! Chris Davis is an ace!

[teknetic]

McDonald with his second loss of the game.

No way Baltimore keeps this up all year. My bet's still on the Sox finishing ahead of them by the end of the season.

Chris Davis: 0-8, 5 K, 2.0 IP, 1 K, 1 W.

[hellonewman]

Laughing so hard I think I'm going to piss my pants. What a great baseball day this has been.

[b-ball-lunachick]

i think Gonzalez was 0 for 7 and Davis made him look really bad. Classic.

[Yanksfanintoronto]

Just when you think this Red Sox season has been the best from a Yankees fan perspective....it keeps getting better

[b-ball-lunachick]

I'm greatly amused by this game. McDonald is a slight downgrade over what Boston would normally trot out there.

e: Gammons laughs like a maniac.

ugh, i can't believe he's in the booth..was he laughing at the end of the game?

[NY Dude]

Bryce Harper living up to the hype. Looks to be a good game. Cole Hamels nailed him in the back on the first pitch, he eventually came around to steal home.

And the Nationals just retaliated by hitting Hamels.

The announcers said that Hamels "sent Harper a message" ... about what? I don't follow either team closely, so what would be the Phillies' motive to hit him?

Bryce Harper is good at baseball

I heard on the radio that this actually has happened ... apparently, the last time was 1905.

sent him a message in the last game of the series? isn't that like welcoming the new guy at work on his 3rd day?

hamels earned himself a suspension with his comments afterwards. moron.

that was just dumb..hamels is an idiot:

"I was trying to hit him," the Philadelphia lefty said. "I'm not going to deny it."

Why, exactly?

"That's something I grew up watching, that's kind of what happened. So I'm just trying to continue the old baseball because I think some people are kind of getting away from it. I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is," Hamels said.

"But I think unfortunately the league's protecting certain players and making it not that old-school, prestigious way of baseball," he said.

In other words, Hamels said, "It's just, 'Welcome to the big leagues.' "

As I said on another thread, you don't get even for getting plunked by beaning one of the other team's hitters. You get even by stealing home, second or taking him deep the next AB. A 19 year old rookie just made a WS champion pitcher look like a complete idiot.....and then Hamels makes sure nobody sends him an application to join Mensa by admitting he did it on purpose.

It's a shame that fans who don't get to see the Nats weren't given one of their better games, but I think they made an impact anyway.

Werth will be out at least 6 weeks with a broken wrist. That was tough to watch.

Josh Hamilton is 4-4 with a double and 3 homers...will see 1 more at bat

[b-ball-lunachick]

Bard has given up 3 ER in 3 innings...I think Bob Lorenz just said he has 2 balks too.

I'm wondering why Punto went in at 3b for Middlebrooks in the second inning..injury?
