O's/As finale
*As expected, Miguel Tejada is
out of Sunday’s lineup and manager Dave Trembley said he won’t even be available
to pinch hit. Tejada’s injury is not being called a hip adductor strain, and
given that he grabbed his right side, I’d say that’s where most of the pain is.
*Jim Johnson, who was charged with yesterday’s blown save, was
overthrowing by Trembley’s standards. He’s the only guy with closing
experience so he will continue to get the majority of save opportunities for
the O’s.
