vs. RAYS, 8/19

[ChinMusic]

You could see that K coming from a mile away. He was going to swing at every single pitch regardless of where it was.

[O's are Legends]

Gameday showed 2 strikes to Roberts as balls.

Medical notes show home plate ump's contact prescription hasn't been upgraded since 95.

Roy likes to ask, "when was the last time Nick cranked one?" I'd like to ask "when was the last time AJ didn't chase low and way outside?"

That was a shame. Partly on us' date=' partly on bad luck, and partly on the umpire.[/quote']

So sick of umpires. I hope after expanding replay, they integrate pitch track to call strikes. The umps can take orders from a machine. That's all the umps are good for.

.

Davis and Jones were polar opposites in their plate appearances just now.

Davis took all 5 pitches, Jones swung at all 4.

[NickM21]

I knew as so as I saw Price with the change up grip it was going to be a swing and a miss.

[O's84]

You could set your watch to that Adam Jones strikeout. Just not a disciplined AB.

Once it got to 2 strikes, you knew it was going to be a slider all day.

[Moshagge3]

What an annoying inning. Tillman tries to sneak a fastball past Longo and fails. The ump bails out Price. Longo makes anice defensive play. Jones flails at junk in the dirt. It's like a O's-Rays greatest hits compilation.

[Campmoon]

We need a pre-populated quick reply developed specifically for Adam Jones at bats. With the click of a button we can post "I can't believe he swung at that".

Didn't he have a stretch in late June where he walked three times in a series?

Or am I imagining things?

Here's the difference Gary, the Trop is a hole

correction: mostly on the hp ump

I think that if Price had faked the final pitch of that plate appearance and didn't even throw it (kept the ball in his hand, and didn't release it), Jones still would have swung.

Rays should fell right at home tonight. Look's like 15k at the park tonight.

[ChinMusic]

Hitting lesson with Adam Jones? Lol.

Nice timing.
