Last Series with Boston

[O's84]

A sweep of the Sox might cause me to miss work on Friday...

Ok, just don't run around pouring Gatorade all over yourself.

What a gloomy thing to say.

Not to mention that we could get swept by Boston and still hold a wild card spot.

[Spy Fox]

Well we lost Game 1, but it was what looked like the worst pitching matchup for us. I like our chances of taking tonight's game and then at least one of the last two.

[ChuckS]

Let's just win one.

I'll be happy with one win in this series....seriously. The M's, Tigers, or Astros are going to be right back with in striking distance of us if we get swept here. I'd like some room for error heading into the last week of the season.

O's are choking. Hard. Now 4 games in a row only scoring 2 runs. Back to back duds by Bundy and Gausman. Buck's inability to use his expanded roster. Starting Reimold is inexcusable. Why Gausman faced Ortiz in the 7th is completely unnecessary.

[Aristotelian]

I don't understand why Buck let Gausman face Betts, who was 2 for 3 going into the 7th (the out was a hard line out) and .353 with 2 HR vs Gausman this year.

Then letting him stay in to face Ortiz with Hart available is just absolutely inexcusable.

Also starting Reimold when the pitcher has reverse splits...

Sometimes Buck's unconventional decisions work but I really think Buck cost us this game as much as Gausman or any of the players.

Don't get me started on reimold.

Bourn is hitting .353 this year against lefties (62 PAs) and fields and runs well.

The Orioles have now lost five of the seven games against Boston in the second half when the games have really mattered.
