vs BLUE JAYS 9/24 GAME TWO

[Va Beach O's fan]

God I hate buck sometimes.

He should have already had someone up and when that first batter hit one over the fence, that should have been it.

Buck is getting WAYYYYYYY too much credit for this teams success. Poor managing all around tonight between his handling of Chen to his decision to start Chavez.

Absolutely terrible.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Jake, get the DP ball.

[MDK02]

I think we can come back but I just think you only get so many opportunities in a game and we blew ours. Buck needs to start playing these games like its a one game playoff win or go home. He is playing people that shouldn't be in.

[Loophole]

This is 1000% correct

When your pitcher is clearly working through a tired arm, you keep a shorter leash.

[Art Wing]

We're likely to win 90 games this season. Nothing can ruin this season for me. Not even missing the playoffs.

Speak for yourself my friend. I'd be destroyed.

Let's hope the Orioles have some late game magic, but this game is a disappointment. Romero is total crap and they can't get a timely hit to save their life. Of course some of has to do with buck starting Endy Chavez for some God awful reason, but either way, the team should never let a guy with that kind of control problems of the hook. To score just three runs off that guy in five innings is an embarrassment. It's baseball, and team's have games like this, but our offense is starting to go cold and it worries me.

And here I thought we had 9+ Pitchers in the BP

[EutawBomber]

I see just zero chance this situation turns out well for Arrieta.

Two hitters too late. Questionable strategy but Buck if nothing else is consistent. If you are a starting pitcher "nugget", then you will get the extra inning, extra hitter every time. But while this may build long term confidence with your starters, it is now near playoff mode now and it can cost.

Strike out and a double play please.

[notyourbuddy]

Chen's poop start did us in. Deserves some credit for settling down and giving 5, but too little too late.

Hopefully Arrieta surrenders at most 1 here.... 6-3 would still give us a good shot at coming back.

I completely agree. I hope Buck made it clear to take pitches as the game plan tonight but it doesn't look that way. Romero certainly has good stuff-- it just misses A LOT.

[OriolesandTerps]

Think Romero pitches the next inning?
