And there it is. Garbo. Man. That 2nd inning was such an epic catastrophe. I know and hope that the players aren't dwelling on that, but it was straight embarrassing..

Jesus give me a break. The Red Sox team, their manager and ownership group are embarrassing. Overreactive posts like this are embarrassing but a 7-3 homestand, IF we lose, is anything BUT embarrassing!

Not jumping off the bandwagon, but this particular game is a little disheartening.

No it's not over yet, but we've let Buchholz settle in.. not looking good.

We will be fine. We have come back in worse games this season. 3 runs is nothing.

Wow ...you got what you wanted ....Talk about a Jinx!

Well, to be fair, I didn't want the game to go 14 innings, I didn't want us to lose. I'd rather have some options available in the pen for this weekend, we do have Hunter and Steve Johnson pitching, not exactly inning eaters.

    • If Mateo can OPS .700, he’d probably be a top 3-5 2nd basemen in the AL the rest of his contract. WAR wise. His range and arm strength is incredible there.  Just a coincidence that Brian Roberts was calling this game and Roberts career was ruined from concussions. Self inflicted. I hope Jorge is ok. I’m sure Mullins feels terrible. 
    • Baker’s ERA is down to 7.58 at Norfolk.
    • Krook posted great stats in May. Being left handed, I doubt they see him as a 1 for 1 replacement for Vieira. A possible call up for Akin, to give him a light load and rest for 10 days, maybe. But I don't think they'd want to lose Akin for 10 games.
    • A couple thoughts…. Jorge Lopez’s son has some serious issues and is on a transplant list. This is why he went on the IL in Minnesota for mental health reasons.  It’s hard to blame Hyde for any bullpen decisions considering the pen 10.1 IP scoreless the over Friday and Saturday.  The last spot of the pen needs to be used with this team. I prefer the Norfolk Shuttle nightly versus even my boy Jorge Lopez. Krook, Baker, etc… are not projects. 
    • Norby deserves a shot though. Plus the lineup is already fairly balanced between right and left, no need to go out of your way to insure a left handed hitting 2B.
    • Again, I'm don't know everything about him, and I appreciate that Elias and the Orioles know him much better than I do, but I do have some concerns that whatever he's going through may make his performance volatile.  Is he better than Viera (who I just don't understand why the Orioles are eating a roster spot for), sure, but the Orioles are big on their clubhouse atmosphere and if Lopez is not a fit for whatever reason, I'm ok with them passing on him. If they think it's not an issue, then I'm ok with them bringing him on. Either way, they can't keep going into series down a reliever as long as Viera can only pitch in mop up roles.
