Baez does it Again

Danys Baez's right arm is killing the O's all by itself. 1 inning...2 hits 1 run...and Baez is 0-4 in the month of May.
Is there a record for losses by a reliever in a single month? Baez has to atleast be in sight of that record! Maybe its time for the O's to create an injury...send him to the DL..and give him a week off to get himself together before having him rehab in the minors for a little while. Something has to be done, because he cannot be trusted in a high pressure situation right now.

Its also upsetting to see that the Orioles blew it for Jeremy Guthrie again. What does this guy have to do for them to give him a win. His 4 May appearances have looked like this...

Innings Earned Runs
6 - 1
8.1 - 0
7 - 1
7 - 3

Thats an amazing month for a guy just working his way into the rotation. He should be 3-1 or 4-0 over that span, but instead he has settled for 3 No Decisions and just one win. Hopefully the guy stays positive and keeps pitching like he has. I love what I've seen so far, and will be a big fan of his if he can stay in the rotation.

Other O's notes...Great to see Tejada with a 3 run homer. Hopefully he will pull out the power a little more often in the future.
Bad News... O's continue to hit into double plays...3 more tonight, including two by Melvin Mora...who has looked awful at the plate lately. He isn't taking pitches and seems to be swinging at everything. In his last 10 games he has just 2 walks, 3 RBI, and his average has dropped 21 points. Hopefully Melvin turns things around soon, or the O's might need to start thinking about who will be playing 3rd in 2008.
