vs. TWINS, 7/07


OFFNY

Recommended Posts

I think the Orioles have been exposed on this road trip. Horrible plate discipline. Poor plate appearances, and in this case, gear up for the fastball. All those factors put us in deep trouble in this series and the rest of the road trip.

It's the same lineup (generally) that hacked their way to 96 or whatever it was wins last year. Certainly not pretty but it'll even out.

Yeah, no one already knew what this team was.

Did anyone here rhe interview that Thorne did with Buck after the game? Someone on the radio said he was not happy.
He must not read the Hangout If he did he could take comfort from one of our notable cognoscenti, "As of last week, the O's were the best hitting team in the majors with RISP. I guess the reason they haven't been making productive outs is because they've been getting hits instead." Nothing to see here.

    • @Moose Milligan  Vinnie Boom Bats.   Nice.  Rodney.  
    • They're 2-5 against teams over .500. I find that hard to believe but that's what the MLB.com says. They've also allowed the least amount of runs in all of MLB at 52. That's kind of nuts. Gonna be a tough weekend but our boys are different these days. They didn't see much of Colton Fred Cowser Lynn in the first series, either.
    • You have to respect that they made an effort in free agency. Signing Lugo and Wacha, Will Smith, Renfroe. Their pitching additions would fit in well on this team right now. Should be a good series. 
    • The Orioles are in sweet and tangy bbq land to play the Fightin' Bob Hamelins for a three game set starting tonight. Fri:  7:40 EST start:  Dean Kremer vs. Alec Marsh Sat:  7:10 EST start:  Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans Sun:  2:10 EST start:  Cole Irvin vs. Seth Lugo KC enters the series 1 game back of the Cleveland Thomes and they're 7-3 over their last 10.  Despite their recent history of ineptitude, they look to be improved this year in the poverty stricken AL Central and they can still give us a hard time.  Lefty Ragans is off to a good start which means we'll be down Ryan O'Hearn for Austin Hays as is Sunday starter Lugo. Bobby Witt 2.0 has an OPS of .997 and already at 1.6 WAR, Old Man Perez is at .943 and Vinnie Boom Bats is .853.  
    • This would be fine by me.I know some people said they don't want a bigger scoreboard  Also Nationals Park is upgrading the speaker system but didn't finish the whole upgrade for this  season.         The offseason upgrades (off-the-field variety) that could have the biggest effect on fan experience are to the scoreboard displays in the ballpark. The Nationals replaced their main scoreboard, their out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field and their ribbon boards with state-of-the-art LED displays that feature much higher resolution than the previous models. The size of the main scoreboard is unchanged, but the difference in quality is noticeable, and the clearer and brighter display will feature enhanced statistics and graphics.
    • However you wanna calculate it, he’s a diaper dandy. 
    • Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.
