vs BLUE JAYS 9/24 GAME TWO

[ChinMusic]

A very good point. Buck seems very hesitant to pinch run for his catchers, for whatever reason. This time it cost the O's a run, and maybe more.

[jjnono]

Absolutely pathetic. Bases loaded 0 outs. Only this team can ruin an opportunity like that with a slow runner and a weak fly ball.

If this team can't tie the game with the bases loaded and no outs against Brad Lincoln, we may as well go home now, because October is going to end on the third.

Totally reactionary, but somewhat merited reactionary. The Orioles are having trouble establishing a big inning when they need one. Yesterday and today. If we lose tonight and look back on failing to catch the Yanks, these two games will stick out...

[LA2]

When it gets to this part of the season, how can you not pull out all the stops? You have a catcher on third representing the tying run and a good flyball hitter up. You have two catchers on the bench (Wieters, Exposito). Why not pinchrun for Teagarden?

[Tony-OH]

Unbelievable inning. Adam Jones needs to stop the GD home run swings and make contact. He has to know he's going to get sliders away in that situation. Nothing wrong with Davis' AB, just the wrong runner on 3rd. Had Buck PR for Teagarden like he should have, Avery scores on both JJ's single and Davis' flyball. The orioles are carrying Exposito for a reason. Should be tied up.

[Spakman]

Quit whinning we will win.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Jake, stay strong, keep it a one run deficit.

[JR Oriole]

I don't think there is a worse team with the bases loaded. There is no pitcher that doesn't get off the hook when we have the sacks loaded. I love Jones, but you HAVE to bring in the tying run there. It is almost impossible not to have tied the game there, but I feel like we do that so often.

[JayThomas]

That Jones at bat was brutal. Brutal. Davis at least got the fly ball...but why not look for a better pitch? He's too first-ball swing happy.

We all are.

[MDK02]

We had our chances with Romero, there bullpen won't do the same thing.

[EutawBomber]

Great now Jake is being Jake again.

[tntoriole]

If Jones would look at a pitch or two, maybe he doesn't go down 0-2 like that and have to look at low and away sliders.

And he has to know that there is no way that he is getting a ball in the strike zone until it is 3-2. I mean he is our top hitter and hehas to know that they are not going to throw a strike on 2-2. At 3-2, probably, but not at 2-2.

Arrieta trying to give that 2 run lead back

[joedogg9999]

Here we go, time to give the run right back.

This would be a very bad game to lose considering the olpportunities the orioles had

[BaltBird 24]

And here comes the Arrieta we know and love!

[Greg]

Now the Jays will score and put this game away how sad
