vs. ATHLETICS, 7/18

[LookitsPuck]

That was a **** pitch by Zach. That said, first 2 hits were luck. But man....brutal. Repeat of NYY all over again for Zach. We scratch and claw our way...and don't look now but Zach already has 3 blown saves.

16 game stretch against these 3 West teams...0-1.

OAK gets two lucky hits, he needs to settle down there, and he doesn't. Wei Yin will save us tomorrow.

Yeah, he always kills it on opposing walkoffs. Adds insult to injury.

I am sick of Thorne. Not saying I want Hawk the Harrelson...but Thorne is OUR announcer and should at least try to sound upset when we lose in dramatic fashion.

I am trying to shrug this off as an annoying blip in a long season....but I keep having dark thoughts.

o

All teams sustain these types of crushing losses over the course of the long season.

Good teams come back from them.

The Orioles could have let that crushing loss to the Brewers last month ruin them. They didn't, which is why they are still in a good position overall.

They just have to come back and win tomorrow.

It's simple, but it's the truth.

Well that just made it tough for me to go to sleep.. I have to be up at 7:30am too. A win would have put me right to sleep!

He is not going to make it through the rest of the season as closer. Oday is up next.

I have to admit, I had a bad feeling before that inning started. It seems like every night I turn highlights on, Oakland is having a walk off.

This is why we should have knocked in one those runs the last few innings. Once again the offense shuts down with a small lead. Our closers shouldn't have to have 50+ saves a year for us to be good. When you let teams hang around sometimes they get lucky and beat you.

I'd love to take a two run lead into the bottom of the ninth EVERY night on the road... odds are you are going to win most of the time.

They'll be OK.

Reminds me a certain 2012 team...

I muted the TV right as the ball went over the wall. Ain't got time for that.

I muted it before the pitch. I always do that when we are in walkoff position because I cant stand Thorne or the crowd noise.

Unless you're playing in NY or Oakland.
