At the plate and here's the pitch

The Orioles' schedule has allowed Brian Roberts to shoot his weekly video blog from the dugout at Camden Yards for the last three weeks; and though it was a dreary day in Baltimore, B-Rob was happy to check in with his fans once again.

In this week's entry, Brian relayed some of his insight about working through rough patches at the plate and how to deal with the moments of failure that even the most talented players face in baseball.

After missing American Idol this week, Brian didn't have any predictions to share with his fans, but he did answer a few fan questions, including the sort of things hitters and first basemen chat about after a single and what it's like to face a 95 mph fastball coming your way.

Don't forget to submit your questions to B-Rob, and he might answer yours in his next post!
