vs. ATHLETICS 9-15

[tennOsfan]

I hope this team hasn't peaked.

[WEAVERMAN]

4 pitch walk, unacceptable.

[scOtt]

I'm not watching the game, so I'm going off of what you all are commenting on here. Is Reynolds ok?

As well as any ballplayer in September.

[Surhoffan17]

Let's get Steve Johnson in there now!

[OFFNY]

Really? I dont think i'm the only one posting about this team being in a tailspin.

Agreed.

The Orioles are 8-4 in their last 12 games, and 17-8 in their last 25 games.

I'm sick of this late season bull **** from this team.

Britton will be a waste of talent until he starts to command his stuff better, feels like other young guys we have.

[Jagwar]

Shut up Thorne! I'm so GD sick of hearing about run differential!

You know, there's only one run differential stat that matters, and that's the single game stat.

The O's are 81-0 when their run differential is positive.

This type of inane post is exactly the reason I started that thread the other day. You are ignoring over 50 games of outstanding baseball, and declaring that 1 game and 3 innings against probably the hottest team in baseball will "probably be the series that killed the season."

Pathetic.

You missed the conditional word:if.

Of course, you could say that adds absolutely no value because, of course, trivially, if we play like this for the rest of the season, we're done -- obviously. But I didn't come out and say that we will play like this for the rest of the season. That remains to be seen.

I didn't see your other thread, by the way. Sorry.

It literally feels as though the Orioles are in a tailspin.I just cant believe how it all seems like it feels like a collapse. Horrible pitching, crappy baserunning, Guys injuring themselves.CMON GUYS

GET OFF THE DECK AND GET IT TOGETHER.FIGHT BACK!

Ah yes.. those one game losing streak tailspins. Some people just need to take a step back, take a deep breath and get some perspective.

[O's84]

Game not over but that last inning hurts. Less time between the end of the starter and the A's bullpen. Even if we get swept, we might not be doing well by the division standard, but as a WC we are still ok.

[tntoriole]

Unbelievable...get this guy out, Buck or this game is going to be buried.

[EutawBomber]

I wish we could just give them the sweep and immediately head to the airport for Seattle. If we play Oakland in the one game play in then we can say hello to another empty October.

[crissfan172]

5-2??? C'mon guys...you're better than that. Get your **** together.

[eddie83]

As I said I can't see the game but as you can see you guys have different perspectives.

Jones didn't run the bases well, he slowed down a bit but Hale did send him. I thought he intended on going looked up and saw Hale sending him, if Adam had ran more efficiently it might not of mattered but no way with nobody out can you be sending him.

I know this is totally reactionary but we're watching a team that is just plain better than us -- it's that simple.
