vs. Texas 7/8 Bust a move.

[dtk9119]

Well that's what happens when you go 1-11 with RISP while the other team can actually hit with RISP. We are now 6-46 our last 7 games with RISP.

That is just sad. How are we even in the playoff race right now... lots of HRs and good D, that's about it.

Chip away

If I have to hear about a team "struggling" to score runs one more time who light us up immediately.....

Or a pitcher struggling with a high ERA that shuts us down for 8 innings.

And plummeting.

I know the season is over, we will be below the Mendoza line before you know it.

On cue, our pitching gets shelled right when our bats perk up a little.

This team is absolutely maddening to follow.

Our bats have been terrible for a week now. They've been terrible today too. They've scored just 1 earned run, and have just 15 their last 7 games.

[Ori-Al]

They are hitting .240 with RISP we are .282 for the season.

Not in the last week, we aren't hitting .282. And Texas isn't hitting .240 tonight.

Time for our hitters to do something.

Game over folks. Garbage time. This is what happens when mediocre pitchers are on the hill.

Aside for kuroda and holland, we faced mediocre pitchers for like 7 straigjt games and got shutout offensively.

[MDK02]

Sweep would devastating to this team.

Tommy hunter warming up.....

Buck is officially losing his mind.

Heading down, down, down. Finishing the break against Texas and Toronto, we may well be pretty close to .500 by All Star game. This team has insufficient pitching and Feldman is no upgrade. Arrieta could give up 7 runs in 5 innings.

[eddie83]

Ok but our offense has completely let us down the past week. And I was talking about this game anyway. Not too hard to see they've been terrible with RISP today.

It's called a slump, it happens to every team, every year. Tough to watch but it isn't anything new in the sport.

[joedogg9999]

That is just sad. How are we even in the playoff race right now... lots of HRs and good D, that's about it.

Wont be much of a race when we are 8 out at the all star breal

[LookitsPuck]

Wieters hitting 5th is among the biggest jokes in baseball.

It makes showalter look like a buffoon.

He loves veteranosity.

[Norfolk orioles]

I know the season is over, we will be below the Mendoza line before you know it.

The sad thing is you don't understand body language.

This team is in trouble. Keep living in fantasy land.

[Shabadoo25]

All our opposition should start lefties, even if they are in A ball.
