Tuesday, September 20: Orioles try to bounce back vs Tigers

[Aristotelian]

Priceless reaction by Badoo there

[LA2]

Two of the reasons to watch the O's are Mateo's defense and running (if only he'd get on base more!).

[LA2]

Hope Jorge is not too adrenalized by his own defensive plays and over-swings....

[eddie83]

Walk him. 

[eddie83]

My god. Come on. 

[eddie83]

Need to get lucky this AB.

Mateo swinging at ball four…. sums it up.

He gonna Jack one out to LF tonight?  No way. 

[Hank Scorpio]

Welp it’s been a fun season.

[eddie83]

I’m sick of Ryan chatting to himself after an at bat.

I blame this collapse where it belongs...squarely on Kevin Brown, he should be dfa'd.

I mean you’re down a run, you need to get on base… and that happens. Trying to be the 3-1 fastball hero.

Mountcaslte gets a pitch to crush and gets under it.  This was just a "not good enough" against an awful team.  5 loses in a row against the Tigers.  Honestly I'd be surprised if they can even finish .500.

Sorry. I thought I was being negative enough for the whole board. 
 

I hate being this way but lately it’s been frustrating. On paper the offense should be better than this. Not saying we are great. 

I get it. It's been painful lately.  What I was trying to illustrate was that I had a whole week of opportunities to see some of the better Tides prospects in Durham, (missing Grayson tomorrow due to my schedule). I had been looking forward to going for months. But by the time Sunday's 1pm game comes, the only game of the six I can go to, they may play the reserves. I wasn't thinking about the 40 man roster, or critical thinking or baseball strategy. But more accurately just my bad luck. 

 

And the 27th out. 

[LA2]

That did it. I've heard the Fat Lady but will continue to root for the O's anyway.
