vs. ATHLETICS 7/27

Throw at Gomes numbers. He will back off the plate.

[eddie83]

Put a breaking ball in the dirt and he will K.

Gomes looks like a perfect fit for the 3rd bash brother back in the steroid days.

[RavNMadMan]

Zach is struggling. He doesn't look ready to me. Looks like Oakland knows what's coming.

[Tony-OH]

Indefensible? Can we tone down the rhetoric a little? Any time you give up runs, you're gonna have a higher pitch count. Let's just get some runs back and hope Britton settles down. Believe me, these threads get negative enough without any encouragement.

It's not rhetoric, it's the truth. Big series against the AL worse offense and you come out and it takes you 31 pitches to get through the first inning. Big league pitchers are not supposed to do that. I like Zach personally and I think he has a lot of talent, but as a fan, I'm sick and tired of these young pitchers coming up small when we need them to pitch like damn big league pitchers. Screw this young pitcher crap, either pitch like a major leaguer or go back to AAA until you can.

[SrMeowMeow]

Britton's just not fooling anybody. With any pitch.

[Il BuonO]

Keep the ball down, Zach, keep it down!

[alaniee]

which team gets to the playoffs? The Orioles? No way.

Not a chance. We are going down. It's actually surprising we have stayed up this high so long. With this roster we are doomed.

[erb8472]

I've never been able to stand Gomes.

[O's84]

This organization doesn't deserve fans.

[eddie83]

Get the ball down, please. His command is awful. This is depressing.

[alaniee]

good hustle by Jones to cut off a possible double. Settle down britton jeez

[erb8472]

Not a chance. We are going down. It's actually surprising we have stayed up this high so long. With this roster we are doomed.

We aren't even going to lose this game. What do you mean we are going down?

[alaniee]

lol blast from the past.... Mike Lieberthal... Bubba Trammel !!

[erb8472]

I thought the A's dropped Manny Ramirez? Was it in his contract that he had to leave his hair with Reddick?
