vs. ROYALS, 5/17

[LookitsPuck]

I'm not one to pile on, and their closer looks super tough, but with that said, Jones' at bat was still awful.

Good AB in the end (number of pitches), terrible AB to start. WAYYY too aggressive.

I guess Nelson Cruz is not superman, despite being just about the only major league hitter on the O's right now (him and Markakis).

[Tony-OH]

Losing 1-0 is frustrating, but Lord almighty Adam Jones is frickin' clueless on any kind of hard breaking ball in the dirt. I'd fine my pitcher $1000 if ever threw the guy a fastball in the strikezone. As long as the Orioles keep running him, Schoop and Machado out in the same lineup pitchers will not have to throws strikes because none of them can lay off crap in the dirt.

Our position players are all bums. All of them are an embarassment so far this season. They should be booed at OPACY. They're atrocious.

Seriously dude are you even an Oriole fan:mad:

Wonder why we didn't pinchrun Lough for Kakes. Might've tied it up for us.

[Jonesy10]

I agree, let's just swap the entire Norfolk team for them.

Sad thing is it wouldn't even be a downgrade.

[Uli2001]

The at-bat by Jones will go down in infamy. Not reactive. I do believe people will remember his tenure on the O's by that at-bat.

Season is over.

Thats all on Adam. You have to be able to put a bat on the ball. Its really that

simple. He didn't get a single pitch in the strike zone.

:agree:

Just go away troll.

Fill in manager afraid to disrespect the vet?

It was two pitches longer than it should have been due to a bad call by the ump. He was never close to putting a ball in play.

Easy for me to say but you can't hack at a first pitch breaking ball. That changed the whole AB.

Like Buck would have done that!

He goes after every first pitch after the batter prior gets on base. That's why he gets absolute rubbish on the first pitch all the time and he can't hit anything but fastballs.
