@ Athletics 8/8

[schittenden]

You know what this team has been missing for years and years: Guys who know how to work the counts, don't swing at borderline pitches when they're ahead in the count, foul off tough pitches to extend at bats, and are disciplined enough to lay off borderline pitches. I can count on one hand the Orioles have had like that over the past 15 years. Do you want me to name them? Melvin Mora, Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis and Hyun Soo Kim. That's it.

And yet they've won more games than any other team in the AL since 2012. Hmmm.

Last 14 days for Schoop: .196/.229/.217 - .447 OPS, 10 SO. Woof.

This is what happens when you swing at everything & never work a count.

Hero ball, man. Homer or lose. This stadium sucks for homers.

The have a winning record here the last 3 years.

I agree with the sentiment of this, at least in this game. Good God, lay off the bottom of the zone sinker. It looks like they are purposely swinging over it. We've been struggling with the lesser teams recently.

I don't have much confidence with this guy.

The situation is Grave. Man.

Graver than it was an inning ago. Man.

Just a horrible offense vs a very mediocre pitcher vs us usually. The guy has a lifetime ERA of more than 10 and tonight he's mowing us down. Just pitiful.

Sinkerballer playing in a cavernous stadium against a flyball team. He has an ERA under 3 at home.

Guy was probably teased about his last name in school. Well he's got the last laugh against them now.

What does the acroynm Loogy mean?

Graveman simply pitched better than Gausman. Gausman should have easily been able to get through 7 with their lineup. So frustrating that he kept getting behind towards the end. Imagine if he faced a formidable lineup.

Lefthand one out guy.

He was on pace to get through 7, until the 6th.
