vs. ATHLETICS, 8/23

[tntoriole]

Lousy, lousy but unfortunately too typical for the 2013 team. They seldom play OBP type ball, seldom play small ball, just hack away and if we homer enough, then we win.

[WEAVERMAN]

He wants to walk the ballpark, and we don't let him.

[Jonesy10]

The A's got a hit with RISP but as usual (at least lately) when it really matters, we can't.

Seriously now, when is the last time. if ever, a Geiko ad has made you laugh. On the other hand Bill Hader's ads for Tmobile are always funny.

:agree:

Wieters is the king of getting hits that don't really affect the outcome of the game... When was the last time he had an important hit? The walk off grand slam 4 months ago?

[OsEatAlEast]

Come on Bordy! "Explode and put up huge numbers" C'mon, the O's might score 2 runs with the bases loaded and no one out.

[Norfolk orioles]

Callaspo.......roasted.

[tntoriole]

Win the hitting lesson with AJ. LOL. Yes, you too can learn the detailed professional way to swing at pitches 3 feet out of the strike zone. How to swing hard at everything in case you hit it.

[Norfolk orioles]

Sogard.......Nerd alert!

[LA2]

Sometimes I think it is a pride thing. "This is my approac, I am aggressive, I am up there to hack away" and so it goes.

I think he just doesn't recognize the pitch; there must be some way to teach him how.

[Norfolk orioles]

Wieters with a horrendous throw.

What on earth was that?

[LA2]

Buck with a fresh haircut.

I don't know. Sometimes it looks as if he sees it going out of the zone and at the last split second, chases it anyway. I think he believes he is Vlad.

Let's see the last weries when he had a double to dead center and missed a three run homer by a few inches.

Get that 3rd Norris, hold them.
