Justin Masterson has simply been doing what he’s been told. So far, the results have made him unbeatable. “I told him, ‘Throw that little white thing over that larger white thing as much as you can,”‘ Cleveland pitching coach Tim Belcher said. “If he does that, his stuff is so sick.

Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs hit a go-ahead two-run single against his former team and the Florida Marlins rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 Friday night.

Five Losses in a Row...

post from Oriole Post - Baltimore Orioles Analysis & News; The World of Baseball and Beyond on 15 April 2011 10:01:45 PM. © Oriole Post - Baltimore Orioles Analysis & News; The World of Baseball and Beyond

What was a promising 6-1 start last week has now turned into a five game skid.

Zach Britton could not save the Orioles and got hit hard by a surging Indians team. It was a bit much to expect him to act as a savior as well as a stopper after what we have seen.

In his third major league start, Britton ran into a tough Indians team and didn't seem to have the same magic he has last week against the Texas Rangers. He had only given up one run in his two starts -- a 15 2/3 innings combined -- but a pesky Cleveland lineup amazingly got hit after hit, and tested the Baltimore defense.

Britton went six innings and gave up runs -- all earned.

I'll have more later on tonight, but all things considered, the recent five game skid has been tough to stomach.

However, we all should not jump off the ship yet and assume that the Orioles have reverted back to what we have seen in the last decade.

The offense is scuffling, and while they were held in check by Justin Masterson -- who started the game on the mound for the Indians and got the win -- not much has happened offensively in the past week. They did get a good effort yesterday, but overall, they have not gotten the hits they needed and somehow can't get anyone across the plate.
