vs. RAYS 5/08

Yeah but that is a small sampling size and most likely a fluke.

I think 4 for 9 is reason enough to sit Andino for a game. It is not like you are benching Joe Morgan.

Nick, you didn´t listen to me. You were supposed to take that pitch. The Rays´pitcher says, "Thank you, Nick."

[EutawStreet]

Steal here...gotta make something happen

[EutawStreet]

Nevermind, hit a tank Vlad.

[Hank Scorpio]

Tampa is really a good team.

Good, sound pitching (holding runners, changing speeds) and very good defense, especially outfield defense.

[EutawStreet]

It is truly unbelievable how unproductive the Orioles offense is.

[OFFNY]

Keep us in it, Bradley.

Leadoff walk for the rest of the league = Automatic run

Leadoff walk for the Orioles = runner stranded.

The saddest thing is that we can't even manage to get him to second...That is unacceptable.

It is truly unbelievable how unproductive the Orioles offense is.

If the lead-off hitter walks, and then the pitcher goes 2-0 on the next batter, you take a pitch. You don´t do him any favors. Make him prove that he can throw a strike or two.

Hey Nick, the title of "Captain Popup" is open since Jay Gibbons left. Make a run for it, ok. I'm glad to see that Nick's approach at the plate has changed based on our criticism of last years lack of homers.

[El Gordo]

Buck was supposed to have met with the hitters before the game to let them know what he wasn't happy about with the approach they were taking. A lot of good it did. :cussing:

[isestrex]

If you had suggested that we should sign Damon to be our everyday DH instead of Vlad, you probably would have been laughed out of the forum.

How about now?

[EutawStreet]

Mark my words, here is where the wheels fall off for the Orioles.

[crissfan172]

A couple of weakly hit balls....1-0.

Ugh.
