Jeremy Guthrie threw 4 innings of 3 hit ball, only giving up 1 run. The most important thing, he didn't walk a soul and threw 44 of 59 pitches for strikes. O' by the way the Orioles still lost 6 - 2. Classic bullpen meltdown. Actually Ryan Bukvich surrendered a two-run homer. Who is this guy? I can't find anything on him, not that I am even trying. Sounds like a non-roster invite. Greg Aquino, had his own problems in the eighth when he allowed a run scoring double and single. So it wasn't actually a classic meltdown. It was a non roster invitee and a long shot to make the team.
The Orioles scored their two runs when Jay Gibbons was batted in by Aubrey Huff and Oscar Salazar drove in one off of a single.
By the way Adam Jones went 1 - 3 with a double. So far this Spring he is batting .450. Erik who?
Luis Hernandez with ANOTHER error today. It was a throwing error which in my opinion is worse than a fielding error. Why? Somebody could get hurt!. That's 4 errors in this short spring. Yes I know it's only spring training but when do you get better? Does someone magically get better in two more weeks? His fieldingf range looks to be pretty good, just gotta duck when he throws. Gives new meaning to nose bleed seats. I think his real problem is the fact that he is nervous, he knows he is it for this team. Last year we had Miggy, and when Miggy was hurt Luis got the nod at SS. He played very good and in my opinion he had nothing to lose except for his job when Miggy got better so it didn't matter to him. He just relaxed and played good ball. I'm not saying I could do any better. Also if I were Branden Fahey I would step my game up because just maybe he will find himself in the SS spot..
Oh I hope the devine powers, ahem Andy MacPhail, make a trade for a shortstop really soon.

Fahey has a real chance to play Short if he steps up his game. I thought Luis was at least sure afield. Looks like he's neither!
I really thought Luis had it down. Apparently it's anyones spot. I tell you what though, I would rather see Scott Moore there. I know that sounds stupid, but if were not going to get a fielder who makes less errors then why not put a kid with some pop in his bat there? I can't be all that bad. Maybe he can be though.
If choice is some one who is error prone with no stick or someone who is error prone with a stick, give me the guy with the stick. He at least gives us a chance to score some runs to make up for all the unearned ones he's letting in!
