Saturday afternoon July 2: Orioles try to bounce back after tough loss vs Twins

[mrbig1]

It's over boys.

It seems as though the luck is running out on Lopez. 

[Tony-OH]

Lopez about to blow two straight. Never fun!

[bpilktree]

Horrible effort by McKenna.  Lopez has been almost unhittable til these last two games.  Crazy game. 

[mrbig1]

Can we sign Chris Davis as a pitcher?

Luck he has been nearly unhittable striking everyone out he wasn’t lucking into saves.

[mrbig1]

Need a DP now.

Very poor manager, he guesses all his decisions. Hyde doesn't know what his is doing.

Why couldn't Hyde stick with Bautista?

Yes, he had only thrown 9 pitches, but I think it was inevitable that Hyde brought Lopez in: after serving up last night's homer to Buxton, he had to prioritize letting Jorge know he still had great faith in him. Don't know if that applies to the next high-leverage situation....

Right. So a guy going from below mediocre to elite over night doesn't involve any luck?

[LA2]

How well struck was the Sanchez single?

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Is the league adjusting to Lopez or is he just in a slump right now?

Yeah, imagine  bringing int he guy who has pretty much been the best closer in major league baseball in for the 9th with a 1 run lead.  What an idiot,

Nah, talent is there. Twins are good and apparently have Lopez's number.

Still, can't blow two games in a row. It's a gut punch but luckily, I'm an Orioles fan, I can't be gut punched any more. i expect the worse and I'm glad when it doesn't happen.

[mrbig1]

unbelievable.
