vs. MARINERS, 8/04

[MDK02]

This is pretty pathetic.

[Norfolk orioles]

Just pathetic baseball.

Sorry but that's what it is.

[LA2]

incredible AB. We dont have anyone who can do this.

B-Rob used to do this. Don't know if he can now.

[Ori-Al]

Pull happy Hardy grounds to short. Shocking.

0 for 11.

[BrandonGMU]

They're lucky that they aren't getting seriously booed each inning. Calling this pathetic would be an understatement.

[O's84]

This team is playing with incredible ineptitude with RISP.

[callahan09]

Really un-clutch hitting with RISP today.

[BohKnowsBmore]

I love Chris and he is the MVP of the Orioles this year, but lately a lot of his AB's have left alot to be desired. And his HR's come with leads.

Need a clutch hit from our number 4 hitter.

I'm not going to go into a large post about this right now, but there is no such thing as a meaningless home run. Even if we have a lead, every run counts. We still needed his homer on Friday, even though we had a lead.

[Jonesy10]

What an embarassment. 7-10, with a walk and a HBP without RISP. 0-11 with RISP. Only the Orioles could find so many ways to fall flat on their face against crap teams.

You're joking, right?

It is legal to hit the ball to the opposite field with runners on base, isn't it?

[tntoriole]

Not sure any of those were obvious balls.

The first three were balls. That is how Saunders kills us. If we swing at the pitch 3 inches off the plate, then we never get a pitch that we can handle solidly.

I feel for Chen today. He know he has to be perfect.

The pitches Davis swung at all looked pretty close to the strike zone to me. Maybe just a bit off, but not so far off that it's egregious to swing at them. Especially with this ump's strike zone...

Yes but I'm not entirely sure the Orioles are aware of it.
