vs. ROCKIES, 8/18

[Norfolk orioles]

Pretty sure that was ball 4.

They just don't like add on runs.

[mrbig1]

That's going to come back to get us. :angryfire:

[WEAVERMAN]

They just don't like add on runs.

Not with batters like Flaherty.

[MDK02]

3-1 with a struggling pitcher, i think you gotta let that one go by and see if you can get a cheap run.

[BohKnowsBmore]

This could be the game right here.

Still taking it to them. No use in kvetching every time we don't take advantage. Game isn't over yet and last time I checked we have more runs than they do.

[Ori-Al]

That's ofer five with runners in scoring position in our last two innings. That was the strike, but it was down in the zone, and, instead of trying to line it, Ryan put a looping swing on it and hit a week flyball.

C'mon. Need to be better than that with RISP. You simply have to score at least once when you have a lead off double one inning and 2nd/3rd with 1 out the next. This game shouldn't be close right now.

Side note: how bad are we with the bases loaded?

[WEAVERMAN]

We need to keep COL off the board, c'mon Scott.

Quite. Last season, also. And at sacrifice flies.

I repeat what I have said in previous threads. The plate

discipline and pitch recognition on this team is horrible. Ryan was way ahead in the count and he swings at a pitch at his

shins. What would have been wrong with taking that pitch,

gambling it was strike two and forcing Chacin to make a big

pitch. Oh well, vent over, move on to the 6th.

[WEAVERMAN]

Maybe the Orioles can get some runs off their BP, just a pray.

[MDK02]

Come on Feldy, get that double play ball now.

He's a lousy hitter and not an everyday.

Great job walking the guy who bats in front of the HR hitters!
