vs. BLUE JAYS 7/26

[OFFNY]

Wow, what's happening to the Toronto defense ?

That's their problem. We have PLENTY of our own.

[RavNMadMan]

Rain Man Buck must have a new rule: the 4-run lead rule. Get 4 runs ahead of the opposition, then sit down. If they score, come back and get that 4-run lead back.

Point taken. If we win however, I vote yea to the "rule of 4"

[JERSEYORIOLE]

Average runs per game is a meaningless stat

[Can_of_corn]

I wonder what Jeremy Guthrie thinks when he watches how the Orioles score runs for Arrieta.

He is probably pleased the O's are winning. Pretty sure Guthrie doesn't think the lack of scoring is intentional. Ask Hamels how much nicer it is to be the #4 guy in a rotation instead of the #1 guy.

My goodness, who are these guys in the grey shirts?

[nate22]

Great Let's make them use their entire pen tonight.

Wow, what's happening to the Toronto defense?

Just nice to be on the good end of that for a change.

Average runs per game is a meaningless stat

Indeed. Probably the most meaningful stat for the O's this season is the ratio of runs to hits. In this game, we've produced 10 runs out of 13 hits. In more games than I can count, we've maybe scored 3 or 4 runs on the same number of hits (or more).

[Frobby]

Great to be draining their bullpen in the series opener.

[Gurgi]

Lee is playing like a guy who wants to get OUT of Baltimore as soon as he can. Go Lee go. Keep hitting we may get something for you afterall. Maybe.

[scOtt]

Not bad numbers, nothing spectacular.

I havent seen soooo many Orioles hitting the ball this hard in a long long time.:thumbsup1:

[scOtt]

Medium-depth-power.

[scOtt]

Yes I'm bitter and COMPLETELY done with Vlad.

Shame he has a good chance to clear waivers and traded in August. It means he'll be stinking up our lineup ALL THAT MUCH LONGER! :angryfire:
