vs. MARINERS, 8/02

[WEAVERMAN]

Can you get some one out McFarland?

[weams]

Thank you T.J. Old school.

[MDK02]

That about does it.

[scOtt]

Good thing we traded for Andrew Miller, Buck.

He's worked 3 out of the last 4 nights.

[Mendoza Line]

I can never understand why TJ has such issues coming into the middle of an inning. He just cannot handle anyone on base

[WEAVERMAN]

Wow, McFarland does his best to end this game.

[weams]

Good thing we traded for Andrew Miller, Buck.

Pitched three out of the last four days.

[Reboulet'sStache]

He's been in the league for years though. Are you saying that he's having his pitch recognition on sliders down and away worsen very markedly at age 34?

I have no idea. But two months of an OPS under .700 and inability to lay off the same kind of pitch doesn't seem like a "slump."

[eddie83]

I mean, you're right... but PITCHERS are too much for CD anymore.

Dude is lost. I really can't see a scenario where the Orioles tender this guy a contract in 4 months.... are you going to pay this guy $11.5MM on a hope and a prayer that he regains his 2012 form?

I'm not. No thanks... I'll take my chances with a guy who makes contact more often. He's prohibitively bad.

You want another hole to fill? No way he isn't back. Hardy, Nicj and Cruz already FA's.

Rodney is only beatable because' date=' if you let him, he will walk you sometimes. Our guys don't really let pitchers walk them.[/quote']

Do you think they're discussing that in the dugout? "Hey guys, Rodney walks people."

[O's84]

That sucks. And I really wanted a shot at Rodney.

[joedogg9999]

Its not like this patjetic offense was going to score 3 runs anyway.

[O's84]

Well whatever. You can't expect the pitching to be perfect. Offense needs to step up soon.

[dtk9119]

No worries.. this offense would have been incapable of scoring 2+ runs to win it anyway.... on to tomorrow. At least the Jays are getting slaughtered.

[weams]

Wow, McFarland does his best to end this game.

A shame. I thought he could do it.
