I thought you were complaining before they can't beat the bad teams. So they can't win big games and they can't beat bad teams. Who are the beating then?

It's pretty much been the opposite of Orioles Magic since the Texas sweep.

Bud Norris reminds me of Guthrie

[WEAVERMAN]

We have to hang in there, we'll get something going, let's go Norris.

Another start a pitcher wont give us 7innings

[Norfolk orioles]

Ok we got out of it.

Now might be a good time to pick Norris up fellas.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get it going in the 4th, we need a break.

[MDK02]

Remember after the Texas sweep someone asked if we were the best team in baseball???

Yeah.. that's what got us in this rut. Thanks to whoever started that damn thread

[calmunderfire]

Outstanding outing.... 4BB's and 2K's

[Jonesy10]

The A's have hit 10 balls in play and have 5 hits. The O's have hit 8 balls in play and have 0 hits.

I guess the Orioles and their opponents like to hit here, but I wonder what Orioles' pitchers really think of the Yard?

LOL Yea man gotta wonder. IMHO most of those GOFER balls they throw are BAD PITCHES up in ZONE now that one Norris threw to COCO was a prety good pitch and good hitting by Crisp.

Then they went right to KC and got run out of town. Started the slow sink.

And with MLB leading 162 HRs surrendered with 35 games left at 1.3 hrs/9 innings is pace for 207 HRs allowed this year.

Perhaps it's time someone like a pitching coach taught our pitchers how to keep the ball down? Just a thought. I realize Norris is new, as is Feldman, but they won't always be new, and our other starters are not new.

[Norfolk orioles]

At a boy Davis!

Now lets make them pay.
