vs. ROYALS, 7/24

[MDK02]

Elliot Johnson will have a big game for them tonight, he always kills us.

[Hallas]

Pretty nice bunt, but I hope he was bunting for a hit, because otherwise I'm not sure it was a good idea. Nate is speedy and was already in scoring position, I don't intentionally give up an out to move him to third there.

It was a great bunt but Tejada was already on the grass. No chance for a hit.

Machado should have tried to yank one down the line. Tejada wouldn't have gotten it.

[Jonesy10]

Markakis needs to be benched. He's been terrible for almost 2 months now and has less pop than a middle schooler.

[BohKnowsBmore]

You love that word.

Other people use it a lot as well. I really think people around here don't know what it means. I've watched pathetic for years, this team ain't it.

I'm timed to think the game starts at 5 after the hour, but they do things weird in KC. 8:10. A few more minutes.

These starts are the worst for me. 705 or 730 are great. If it is going to be a 100 or 1030 start I can gird my loins for the late run. 805 or 810 just makes me stare at the clock.

[Jonesy10]

You love that word.

I try not to use it, but it's a perfect word for our last 2 offensive innings.

Likewise.

Nick hasnt had a meaningful RBI in some time.Let alone a HR.

Like I said, suggest to buck switching Davis and nick in the lineup!

[O's84]

Id just like for once a meaningful sacrifice fly. Once. They CANT freaking do it.

In the last 3 games the O's have failed to get a run in:

Man on 3rd 0 out (twice)

Man on 3rd 1 out (this game)

Bases loaded 0 out (twice).

They'll pick it up but this is really frustrating.

Thank you.

[Norfolk orioles]

Well that sucked.

[MDK02]

That was crushed. I hope our bats wake up tonight, we're going to need them.

[rwilliams1022]

Well it's just the first inning. Shame Chen's already at 12 pitches one pitch into the third at-bat.

[BohKnowsBmore]

Well that sucked.

Happens. I trust Chen.
