O's vs Royals 5/5

[NewMarketSean]

Series finale game...LOSS

[eddie83]

I'm done with the Jake Fox experiment. Bring up Tatum or whomever.

Someone who has a fighting chance at throwing someone out.

I wonder if Tatum comes back will he stay as a utility player. His bat is nice but we don't have platoon players or guys you would pinch hit with.

[crissfan172]

One thing I hate:

Defensive swings with less than 2 strikes.

[OFFNY]

IF we come back and manage to win this game, that awful inning could be the turning point in the season. If we lose, then it´s just another horrible inning.

[Hank Scorpio]

One thing I hate:

Defensive swings with less than 2 strikes.

Especially when they're at balls.

[JDubs]

Fast like a Fox...

[NewMarketSean]

No Jake, stop fouling off pitches. We DON'T want to get into the KC bullpen. We WANT Chen to stay in the game!

[jasmith85]

It sounded like a lot of that was bad luck, but when your fastball is 88-89mph you cannot afford to get behind hitters.

Just cannot do it.

This. You guys can be as apologetic as you want, but when you are throwing batting practice fastballs you cant get behind in the count and let hitters sit on it. Its a consistent theme with Tillman and Im over it.

Unless you're watching the game, stop blaming Tillman for that inning.

If you are watching, and you are blaming Tillman, you might want to pay attention more.

At some point you gotta man up and get out of the jam. Everything is up and around 90.

[Brian88]

And the Bruce Chen joke of the day is...

Why did the bicycle keep falling over? Because it was too tired.

[JDubs]

This. You guys can be as apologetic as you want, but when you are throwing batting practice fastballs you cant get behind in the count and let hitters sit on it. Its a consistent theme with Tillman and Im over it.

Well, to be fair, I was merely saying everyone stunk. Not that Tillman was decent. I'm pretty over Tillman at this point.

[waroriole]

Ughh, where's Izturis.

[RI Oriole]

Strikeout king bruce chen claims Andino his next victim

[jasmith85]

Well at least Andino is reverting back to old form in time for Hardy to come off the DL......its about silver linings people.

[waroriole]

I wonder if Tatum comes back will he stay as a utility player. His bat is nice but we don't have platoon players or guys you would pinch hit with.

This is why they shouldn't have re-signed Izturis. Maybe they could trade Andino for a bullpen arm.
