Derek Jeter was hit to start this game. This ball actually did hit him. No, really it did.

Later in the inning, when Alex Rodriguez scored the second run on a Jorge Posada two-run single, he crossed home plate and kept running. Right toward the O’s dugout. I mean he got within a few feet of it and was close enough to high five Buck Showalter.

That had to get under the Orioles skin, I would think and hope.

Seemed over the top to me.

By the way, I don’t think Jeremy Guthrie threw at Jeter. Why hit the first batter of the game and put your team and inning in peril a pitch or two into the game? I would think any pitcher that wanted to hit a batter would want to do it with two outs and none on.

It was an eventful top of the first and one that must have O’s fans (and players too) a little ticked off.
