In between they play the Rangers and we have the Red Sox.. if we don’t start playing better we won’t have to be watching who they are playing 

 Correct. Im just saying if and it’s if we play well next 5 we will still be in it heading back to Toronto. 
 

This one isn’t over either.

After the Red Sox we really need to beat up on DET and WSH.  But as we've seen that's not how it necessarily goes in baseball. (We got swept by DET earlier in the season).

We have had our challenges with bad teams.. but the fact us, if you start needing sweeps, then it is likely not happening

Lineup getting its third look at Manoah. This is the inning we start coming back. As ScOtt always said, "Never give up!"--although he often did when the score got too bad haha.

But we have dispatched Manoah pretty handily in two out of his three starts vs. us this season before tonight.

I know, and I remember in one of those starts we waited him out and made him work. Which makes tonight more frustrating, they know what they need to do and haven’t done it.

I’m pissed at the lack of approach. No patience. First pitch outs. 
 

I get it, some nights you run into a guy who’s dealing. Manoah is throwing great tonight. But our guys aren’t doing anything to make it difficult for him. In fact, they seem to be making it easier for him. 

Mountcastle has half.of the one pitch ABs himself. I get.one but then you have to take a pitch next time up!

Very well said.

Worst cut from Adley in awhile. 

[LA2]

Ok time for Adley to make up for those bad throws.

[O's84]

LOL this umpire.  I'll take it but these umpires seem to just get worse every year.

[eddie83]

Wow. That’s a break. 

[eddie83]

Ok. Get him in. Chip away. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Ok time to score some runs and get back into this game. 

[Tony-OH]

Maybe this missed call will shake Manoa.

This has to be one of the worst crews in baseball, no matter who is behind the plate it's been terrible.

[LA2]

Haha showed Schneider mock-scratching his beard to restrain himself from riding the ump about that last ball call to Adley.
