vs. INDIANS, 5/22

[Mendoza Line]

Is Pearce that bad of a defender? I can't understand why he and Cruz don't just alternate LF/DH. Lough should be a late inning defensive replacement only.

I find it funny that they flash Peguero's stats the next half inning after Lough's catastrophic AB.

[LA2]

Masterson was giving us that inning. He had to be chuckling to himself after the O's didn't even score a single run.

[Rex Thunder]

This is not a playoff team.

Sorry, it's just not.

Someone is going from the East- and every team has their moments where they look every bit as bad. Can't play perfect all the time. Aggravating inning to say the least- but comments like this are a joke. The game is not even over.

Lefty righty matchup I guess....but they need to be playing Pearce.

How many warning track flyouts between tonight and last night?

Does Blue Cross Blue Shield look cheap by donating for WALKS?

That won't help. McLouth's having an even worse year than Lough. We were smart not to resign him, esp. for the two years he got.

Surprising he could be any worse than Lough.

What a joke this team is

This team? That inning was ALL ON Lough.

Three guys got on.

Markakis smoked the ball, just happened to be right at someone.

If you are saying the team is a joke because they continue to let Lough bat with regularity, I'll buy that. But that was not a team failure in the 5th, that was a Lough failure.

That was a damning a single AB as I have ever seen in 20 years of watching baseball.

Almost had another but the Cleveland outfield gave us a gift.

I spent 3 minutes looking for an emoji that could accurately convey my feelings about that last inning......I couldn't find one

I wasn't going to post today, but I had to. That is on Buck. He plays Lough over Pearce,.

That said, this team is bad with the bases-loaded. Also do not do a good job of scoring free baserunners.

[Surhoffan17]

Yup. I guess the heat is helping us get close to HRs.

[LA2]

Hadn't even looked. Should pick him up for cheap for a 2nd time!

Coming in today, in the same number of ABs, McLouth was hitting *40 points* lower than Lough.

A gift come on take advantage of IT
