Major league record for most DPs hit into in a game is 7 by the Giants vs the Astros (Colt 45s???) in 1969.

AL record is 6, set 14 times, most recently by the Yankees vs the Rangers in 2011.

See there, despite all the carping, this team is capable of doing extraordinary things.

This feels like the 4-32 stretch that one year.  

Our stretch is now 9-20, with 9-21 looming.   Even if we lose the next 6, it would be 9-27, still 5 games better than that season ending stretch.   That is truly amazing when you think about it.

We actually got to .500 after a hot August with 36 games left in the year.   And then that happened.

And they actually blamed it on the loss of Gary Matthews Jr to injury.   And then the next year we lost Matthews due to a clerical error by our front office... was that Beattie?   Flannie?  JDuq?   I can't even remember now.

What's really crazy, when the O's are losing games like this... my beer doesn't taste very good. WTH?

I feel like the season is basically over. The division isn't attainable and wild card is slowly falling away. 

Kind of like that fly ball disappeared from Set Smith. It was there, then it was gone, and I don't know why it disappeared.

9-21 with where we were at feels like 4-32.  Coming off losing the WC game in extra innings, a hot start, a 5 year run, knowing that our window is likely closing.  At least the 4-32 year we had no hope.  No 2nd WC.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
