vs. ATHLETICS, 8/10

[MDtransplant757]

If we had professionals on this team that number would go way up to 71%!!

Maybe 71.5% if we are lucky.

I can agree with that. This is no melt down like last year.

The only meltdown I want is a Tuna melt.

[Surhoffan17]

I have never seen a lineup fall apart so drastically. It looks like we have nothing at the plate.

With old bay, right?

We need Duke to dredge up a 2016 Nate McClouth.

27 innings. 3 runs scored.

At this point the way this team is playing there wont be any playoffs.

We're still in the wild card at this point. With only Houston and Detroit trying to make a comeback in the standings.

One of the worst offenses since the ASB. Under .500 since the ASB. Worst road team of any winning clubs.

I get it, I get it. They're in first place (well 1/2 game out right now). But this team has only had one great offensive month. The other months have been really been either league average or bad. That is worrisome. This team can only play so many games at home.

Absolutely. I'm concerned too.

Although after Sunday we do have 25 of our next 39 at home, which will help.

But clearly we have to come out of this offensice funk. June might not be indicative of our true offense. But the last month isn't either.

Houston is in a pretty bad funk too.

[O's84]

I think I finally get it. The "O's" stands for 0 runs.

And they get to come to baltimore where we smoke every team who comes in. Yay them!

An inning or so, MASN showed Ron Washington coaching third. While not fond of the Rangers, I always liked that guy. Glad he's back in baseball.

So Coco is in LF. This Smolinski dude really a better CF?

I think he should have won the World Series in 2010 and 2011. 2011 was utter BS for the Rangers, even though I hate Texas. Who chokes in winning the series, twice, and in the same game with a strike away?
