Earl Weaver Rules

It’s been a pretty good spring for the Orioles.  They’re now 7-2 and only the Yankees have a better spring record in the American League.  Even more impressive is that they did it against Japanese phenom Matsuzaka.  They bounced him for four runs in his four innings with Jason Dubois (two for three with a homerun and two RBIs) and Jon Knott (three for four with a solo homerun) leading the way with the bat.

Steve Trachsel had another mediocre outing.  He gave up two runs on six hits and a walk in three innings but Rob Bell threw two shutout frames to lead the pitching staff.

Next up is the Dodgers with Erik Bedard getting the start.  It’ll be another day game.
