Of course... all that and ONE run

Well at least the O’s got one run there with the way the offense has performed recently, I’ll take one run over zero runs scored.

All these patient hitters and RMC swings at the first two pitches to dig a hole.  Ugh. 

2 straight walks, the previous one on 4 straight balls WAY out of the strike zone, and he swings at the first 2 pitches.  WHY????

Santander had several very hittable pitches but could only foul them off.  Easily could have been a double off anyone of those.  The Offense is really struggling on capitalizing with RISP.

Henderson 2. Stowers 83. Vavra 77. Does that show is what the Os think of these guys?  Adley’s 35 kind of screws that up I guess LOL.

Our offense is really very thin .. bunch of .240 hitters or worse

Starting to remind me of the early part of the season when they went something like 7 for 78 with RISP.

I have no issue hacking at first pitch fastball. 
 

That said he fouled it off.

Might need to load the bases another 5 or 6 times to scratch out another run.

McKenzie up to 64 pitches after three innings. He's gone over 100 pitches four times in 23 starts (6, 8, 6.67, 7-inning stints). W 3/L 1, but the loss was a 2-1 game.

Problem with timing their pitcher is he throws 75 percent junk curves then the 93 fastball..

Lyles looking good.

Buster Olney agrees.
