Post here when defense cost us the game

[McNulty]

Buck leaving Chen in and Reynolds misplaying a tough grounder in the 5th got the team into this position. Pretty simple tonight.

Mark Reynolds takes the early lead for MVP of this thread

Oh he'll run away with this award if Buck allows him to play 3rd base all year, hell, even half the year.

Pretty much this and add a dash of poor umpiring (for both teams) and it's a wrap.

I will use this as my place to vent.... its way too early to be so bitter but I am already. The Yankees tried to hand us this game and we just would have no part of it. Beyond frustrating. Call me reactionary but it is simply amazing how good we are at NOT taking advantage of what other teams give us. Sure we aren't as talented as other teams and that plays a role in it, but it really seems like we try to fail sometimes.

Again, I know it is too early to feel the way I do but I guess no time is really too early to feel this way when you're decade+ out of contention.

[Loophole]

We'd be better with an empty hole at third.

[El Gordo]

Tex grounded out...that play didnt hurt the team.

Yes it did. If he catches that pop the Tex ground out is out 3, and Ibanez doesn't bat.

Hello...and yeah I'm drunk too. Guess I should visit that thread also.

Tex is the one who popped it up....he was out 2.

Hardy pissed me off swinging at ball 2 with the bases loaded after it was obvious C.Wade had no control at the time. Just saying.

Still can't believe the awful pitch Wieters called there.

Makes no sense. Don't get it.

So for our first official entry into the thread:

[Dipper9]

Well, that didn't take long. 5 games in and defense already cost us a game. Orioles Magic, feel it happen.

By the way, as bad as Reynolds' error was, Andino should have had that first play in the inning as well. It was ripped, no doubt, but it was right to him and went under his glove. Not sure how that was scored a hit?

[MrOrange82]

Mark Reynolds should be deported to space.

Maybe it's sleep deprivation, but this cracked me up.
