Comments on: O’s Win In A Walk Off…Again, 5-4 http://www.theoriolereport.com/2006/08/28/os-win-in-a-walk-offagain-5-4/ Fri, 04 May 2012 00:39:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: tank222 http://www.theoriolereport.com/2006/08/28/os-win-in-a-walk-offagain-5-4/#comment-66 tank222 Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:53:09 +0000 https://theoriolereport.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/os-win-in-a-walk-offagain-5-4/#comment-66 From what I remember he gave up some doubles and was a little wild. But he did only walk 2 batters and managed to keep the runs down for 9 hits in 5 innings. The most impressive thing was in the 5th when the first 3 hitters of the inning all singled. He then got out of the inning without any more runs coming in. He threw 80 pitches. I think it was just one of those games where you don't have your best stuff, but you still manage to keep a big number of runs off the board. Its not a performance that makes me worry about his future. From what I remember he gave up some doubles and was a little wild.

I didn't get a chance to catch the game. He seemed to mostly give up singles, which is a good sign; it generally means that even his mistakes are hard to drive. Was he mostly hitting his spots and Tampa Bay just hit a lot of decent pitches through holes, or did he fall behind in counts and then leave a lot of stuff in the middle of the plate? I'm curious. Anyway, 3 runs on 9 hits is a pretty solid salvage job, and clearly kept the O's with a chance to win the game. What are your thoughts? How’d Loewen look on the hits?
