vs. BLUE JAYS 7/26

lol... one can hit... one can play defense.... i'll take the hitter

Move Nolan to DH and you have both.

I would love to see Nolan in left but he doesn't appear to be willing to put in the effort to not be a liability out there.

Luna has gotten some much hotter girls. With no huge nose.

I kinda liked big nose. It was the dorky husband character I hated on that commercial.

Huh?

[fishbowlguy]

now that is freaking smart baseball Buck - steal on the new pitcher's first pitch

[Frobby]

Go for the jugular now.

[scOtt]

They've blown 17 saves. I don't know if that helps or not.

That can't be right can it? That's a HELUVA lot. Even Gregg has only 5 I think.

That includes their set up men and others, I believe.

We are now going to get to the dangerous part of this game -- where the Orioles, having knocked out the starting pitcher, suddenly change their approach at the plate and start swinging at everything. Don't do it!

Vlad - 2 pitches

Wieters - 2 pitches

Nolan will be your leftfielder the rest of the year I would think. Pie is done, I wouldnt be surprised if he is dealt. Next year maybe Reimold becomes the DH.

He's probably talking about their entire team, not just their designated closer. Maybe they have more than one closer and all of them suck; or, they just use regular relievers in late innings, and anyone who pitches for Toronto in the 8th or 9th inning pitches like an Orioles starter.

Catchers and ump getting BEAT DOWN this game.

[Rockford]

I start watching the game with Reynolds' at-bat with 2 outs in the top of the third.

I watch the Arrieta error to start the bottom of the third. I switch channels and miss the Thames and Bautista at-bats. I come back during Lind's at-bat and he proceeds to hit a home run. I switched channels again and started watching something else. Now following online, I see the Orioles going crazy in the top of the fourth.

You cannot make this stuff up. I am not meant to be happy watching Orioles baseball. (And don't worry, I won't change back and start giving them more bad luck.)

[fishbowlguy]

facepalm.....

[scOtt]

*sigh* At least it's a solo.

[JERSEYORIOLE]

Ok make your prediction, how many runs do we need to win this game?

[allquixotic]

Well, six innings or not, you just blew your quality start, Arrieta.

I'm not too impressed with Jake tonight (although I usually root for him as one of the few semi-bright spots in our SP lineup).
