It was Harvey Day in Baltimore, and things were looking great for The Dark Knight! A 4pm start against a bad team meant that Matt could do tidy work of the birds and then head off to Fells Point for all sorts of adventures. Meet you at Max’s Matt!
The only thing that could possibly go wrong is that in Baltimore those 380 foot fly balls go soaring out of the park. That wouldn’t happen to The Real Deal, would it?
Albert Pujols, who I thought retired like 5 years ago got TDKOALA off to a nice 2-0 lead!
So as The Dark Knight takes the mound, let’s take a look at Matt’s stats on the year.
And Matt looks quite focused…
But OH NO the leadoff guy hit a double down the line. I sure hope The Dark Knight doesn’t get rattled and not do well when faced with adversity!
Aaaaaannnnnd…..sit down son. One away.
But then….UH OH…..
Hey why is the camera showing us some random warehouse…
Uh oh!
Well that’s not good. Let’s watch that one….
But Matty Baseball would stop the bleeding and we’d head to the second tied at 2…
I’m listening to the Angels announcers here and they still think Matt is good. They just refuse to see what I see and explain away everything.
This second inning is excruciatingly boring. A walk, a hit, an overturned double play, 8 million foul balls.
The 3-2…….
And Matt’s out of it. Let’s head to the third!
A leadoff single and oh no here comes The Sweatshirt Bully
The Sweatshirt Bully seems very mean. He is always yelling at poor Matt.
Matt looks sad. I don’t want Matt to be sad.
Despite the Sweatshirt Bully’s Pro-Tips, the first two Orioles got on base, but Matt is not afraid.
Sit down son! Matt’s third K of the day….on pace for 9+!
The Orioles would load the bases, but this recap is taking me way too long to do and I know how it ends, so let’s skip ahead…
And that was enough for me. My rabbit ears couldn’t really get a good signal and I had spent an hour+ on this and it was time to something else.
The final line – 4 innings, 2 earned runs , 2 walks and SIX strikeouts. I guess there was some Sit Down Son action in that 4th inning.
It looks better in the boxscore than it does on my screen, but this was shakier than your average Jason Vargas start.
The good news, Matt was done by 6:30 so there was plenty of time to shower, get the hair looking good, and to head off to Fells Point to meet some nice ladies in their 20’s.
And in the end, isn’t that all Matt (or any of us) wants out of life?
Enjoy the good life Dark Knight.
