vs. MARINERS, 8/04

[Ori-Al]

Pull happy

[schittenden]

Last year, these guys were willing to do anything to prove they were playoff caliber.

This year, the effort level just isn't the same.

That's probably true. They don't care if they make the playoffs anymore.

I don't think it will be neither crushing nor demoralizing for the team. It will just lower their chance of getting a WC spot. They are running out of games to give away.

Agreed. And I agree that players don't get crushed or even demoralized by losses of games. They see it all just as part of whatever happens, happens. Another day, another game, until the season ends and either we get to go home for an offseason of relaxation or we play some more games, but either way, it is only fans who get "crushed or demoralized."

[MDK02]

We never score in the 8th or 9th inning anymore...

[Norfolk orioles]

93 mph with crazy movement??

This guy is incredible.

[Malike]

He's Funky, and he's cold.

[tntoriole]

You can get Nate out with pitches low and out of the zone. He handles high pitches much better.

Do we have many ninth inning come from behinds this year?

[MDK02]

Well Medina is good. We are bad.

[Guest]

3-3 vs Houston and M's wont cut it.

And now they look like they're not even trying. Amazing this is the same BP that blew all those games to the Sux.

Sadly that can be said about quite few O's

[O's84]

Well, at least we got the top of the line up in the 9th.

It's funny and sad at the same time that say in the first half of the season a 1 run deficit would seem like nothing but now it feels like a mountain.

[Ori-Al]

A one run game. Not their strength this season, but we have three more outs, with Teegarden leading off.

We still have our 8 & 9 hitters.
