After Sunday’s game I said that one way to defeat the Baltimore Orioles is to throw a slow pitcher such as Anaheim’s Weaver. The O’s being a fastball-hitting team, find their timing off and they get way out in front of balls. But there’s another way also – when they get into a tet-a-tet with an anything you can do I can do better type of team, they tend not to do well.
The O’s are used to pounding people into submission. The past couple of seasons, Houston’s kind of been a thorn in their side given the fact that they’re the type of team that doesn’t mind putting together a couple of singles and maybe a walk to net one run.
