[Moshagge3]

Another bad result when the hitter had two strikes.

Wells still looks like a reliever.

Doomed himself this inning trying to catch that double play ball rather than let it through to his infielders.

Was he out at 1st? 

Talking about the DP that they should have had that Wells missed off his glove.

I think he was. Kevin Brown mentioned the Orioles' video people not seeing evidence but the camera just showed Hyde staring silently ahead so who knows if he was even thinking about it.

[Moshagge3]

Not to make excuses for this offense, but they really haven't gotten any breaks.

Mullins looks so pull happy. This started last year in the second half.

[O's84]

Good to see Mullins get on base.

30-30 campaign is ON.

This is just men against the boys once again. The Rays are so much better than his team in every single way. Starting pitching, hitting, stealing, defense.

When you see there guys running across the field and making catches on pop ups and are guys watch the ball drop between three of them it kinda just tells you where we are on defense.

2 for 18 w/ RISP now.

I thought he looked out from one angle, but the other angle looked pretty close.

BTW, while he did not get any breaks, this implosion was entirely on Wells. He takes too many pitches to get guys out, work slower than a sloth, and he does not field his position well.

The stuff is good, but he was not able to command it well enough and he doesn't pound the zone. It was literally painful to watch him pitch in that second inning. 

He needs to get his tempo up and attack hitters with his stuff and stop trying to strike everyone out.  He meeds to pitch to contact a bit more.

When you bring back the same guys you get the same results. This group of guys are just owned, and I mean owned by the Rays.

Tell you what, Arozarena wanted nothing to do with Bautista after he threw that ball by his head at 97. lol
