vs. INDIANS, 8/16

[Jonesy10]

Well it could be worse. At least that awful Miguel Gonzalez is safely in Norfolk. Just imagine how bad it would be if he were pitching this game.

We still have 0 runs in the game and 1 run in 16 innings this series. I agree that Gonzo should be but this series is 100% on the offense. No way around it.

I wonder why that was? Oh yeah...Ubaldo was on the DL for the bulk of that time.

Now he's back.

Pretty astute point.

Angelos: "I should have just kept my damn money. Got me a sports car. Might as well have flushed it down the toilet. Never going to let that New Englander talk me into doing that again."

Come on, T.J.

Save the rest of the bullpen tonight, at the very least.

[tntoriole]

Now a Sunday day game to avoid a sweep. Great!

[Malike]

Oh no. Death spiral!

Well I think Ubaldo has two more turns or so before rosters expand. Let him get those out of the way then put the mop in his hands for the rest of the season.

McFarland is as frustrating as Ubaldo.....although my expectations for "long man" perhaps have grown over the last few years.

[Jonesy10]

Facing Salazar tomorrow, who has a 4.88 ERA. Sweep incoming. Will be a shock if this awful offense scores 5 runs this series.

[Jonesy10]

Chances of Orioles going 3 up 3 down on less than 10 pitches this inning?

[MrOrange82]

Does anyone think he makes the PO roster?

If the season ended today, I'd say "maybe not." However, given the amount of money they've put into the guy, the O's will probably have a very, very low bar between now and the end of September for whether he makes it (i.e., if he strings together a couple of good starts late in the season, he's probably on, even if it's a bullpen role).

Between Ubaldo and Matusz holding onto roster spots, keeping Gonzo at Norfolk is beyond infuriating at this point.

Last night is on the offense. They had chances, and didn't take advantage (especially the Davis whiff with the bases-loaded one out.) They got a leadoff walk, and Jonathan blew the sacrifice bunt. They only needed two runs to win, and couldn't get them.

[Ori-Al]

LOL. He has the use chance of making the playoff roster that I do

I hope we don't play an AL Central team in the playoffs.

[Chavez Ravine]

Oh no. Death spiral!

A's are down 3-0 now against Atlanta; they have been in a deeper dive than us:D
