How many games is this team going to lose in a row? I mean dear god.

Including today's game there are 43 games left until the end of the Orioles season. 

[SteveA]

We could only get 1.1 innings out of Abad.

Diplan faces the tough task of coming in with the bases loaded to face Nelson Cruz.

So you are saying we have a chance of breaking the 1988 Orioles' loss streak record twice.

I do think the Orioles will fall into some wins along the way, but the 4-28 streak to close out the 2002 season might get eclipsed by this year's squad.

it was 4-32 actually, but I am hoping for something that good now!

[KillerTofu]

Maybe better luck against the Atlanta Braves tomorrow?

It was 4-32, and that is REALLY tough to do.  So far this season our worst period with only 4 wins is 4-16 (which we are in the middle of now) and it has taken a historically bad losing streak to reach that point.

On the bright side, we've managed to hold Arozarena to 1 for 3 with 2 Ks today.  I believe he came in hitting .500 against us this year.

[Beysbol]

I live in Atlanta and I do think Baltimore will beat the Braves to end their losing streak.

Oh right, I screwed up the math in my head. I think this team can crush that mark. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Do we get a position player pitching the 8th inning today? 

[KillerTofu]

Finally someone can advance a runner from second to third. 

[SteveA]

Braves have been pretty hot lately.   On July 6 they were 41-44.   They are now 65-56 and have taken over first in the NL West, the 3rd team this month to lead that division.

The good news is Diplan struck out Cruz.
