vs. CARDINALS, 8/10

[scOtt]

It sucks but one way to look at it is that they get these bad performances out of their system in a game where our percentage of winning is pretty low anyway. If that makes sense. Same with Brach yesterday.

Series win.

ZB purging before the upcoming Skanks series... it's OK

17 pitches for Zack, just didn't feel like our day, for an 8-3 game we had chances, kind of an odd game.

[tntoriole]

Better have all this out of your system Zach and Andrew. None of that garbage allowed vs. the MFYs.

[Palmoripken]

Win some lose some... too many wasted chances. But at least another series win and hopefully no ground lost.

No ground loss regardless. At worst Toronto will be where we started but we gained on NY.

[eddie83]

Tigers didn't score, going of bottom of 11th.

What is it with the O's and giving up homers to slap hitters?

[TouchemAll]

Pay backs are a Bi@#$

Sunday O's baseball UGG

[Jonesy10]

What a terrible, terrible game. Offense was atrocious and continues to be terrible with RISP. Umpire was the LVP for the Orioles, squeezing our pitchers and giving theirs everything. And our pitchers got BABIP'd to death.

[tntoriole]

It seems like every time he gets two on its gonna happen.

When he gets runners on, his stuff is not working that day. And similar to Johnson, if Zach's ball aint sinking, then we be sinking.

[scOtt]

Sunday, plus a chance to sweep. We don't play well on Sundays, and we don't sweep.

Uncanny but true. I always used to blame it on sitting Wieters for the backup, but it continues without Matt.

What a terrible, terrible game. Offense was atrocious and continues to be terrible with RISP. Umpire was the LVP for the Orioles, squeezing our pitchers and giving theirs everything. And our pitchers got BABIP'd to death.

Just one of them days...every team has them over a 162 game season.

Usually I don't agree with the umps being different with both teams. But today there clearly were two different strike zones.

[Palmoripken]

Toronto going to Seattle.

[SteveA]

Not only a crappy game for the Orioles but a LONG crappy game. 3 hours and 38 minutes and counting...

See you tomorrow.Bad day all around.

Yeah, not that I though Zach would be that bad. I thought he'd still get out of it without allowing a run to cross. Perhaps the bright side is that after Zach gives up runs in an outing he tends to come back stronger for multiple outings in a row.
