vs. Rays 6/29

[dtk9119]

This team is clearly a pretender. On the verge of losing 3 of 4 to the worsr team in baseball and are terrible at home.

Agree completely.. if not for the piss poor play of the division, this team would already be done.

Attention, Orioles hitters! The first six innings of the game do count. You are allowed to score runs in the first two thirds of the game, so please start doing it on a consistent basis.

Baltimore Orioles fans everywhere would thank you.

First homer for #Rays Joyce since ... May 11. Fourth of season

This "offensive" has scored 10 runs in 39.2 innings so far on the homestand against opponent SP's. That's an ERA under 2.30. Pathetic.

Predictably, the Orioles blow yet another chance to score and the Rays pick up yet another easy run. Down 2-0 to the worst team in the league and this game is out of reach. Thanks a lot "offense". Absolutely pathetic that they're gonna lose 3/4 to this garbage team.

Another reminder, folks: Don't make posts calling the game over when it's the third inning. It's beyond obnoxious.

I suggest a new rule -- anyone who says "ballgame" or "this game is over" in the middle of the game does not get to post in the game thread again past that point.

Swing Swing Swing Swing.

I never want to see Schoop hit for the Orioles again. At least not this season.

[Ori-Al]

Always helps to swing at pitches that bounce.

Sorry. Will stop.

An alarming stat I saw today:

Jonathan Schoop is batting .156/.206/.188/.393 with zero home runs at home this season.

On the road, he's been perfectly fine-- .254/.296/.433/.729 and six homers. But at home, he hits like a pitcher. Bizarre.

[Jonesy10]

Our catchers have been hitting better lately. Good sign.

[InsideCoroner]

Both yesterday and today, Schoop strikes out on pitches that didn't even travel 60 feet.

Almost threw it away.

Even worse now! He has 3 XBH's at home this season. 1 since the first Toronto series 2.5 months ago.

That's odd. Is Flaherty hitting .250 at home, then?
