Thursday afternoon: O's vs A's complete 4 game battle-of-the-vowels series

[Moose Milligan]

If there's one thing that frosts my cookies, it's swinging on 3-0.  I don't care who does it.  Goddamit, Adley.  

[Tony-OH]

This game has all the makings of a real bad loss.

Poor starting pitching...
Poor hitting after putting up 7 in 3 innings....
Sketchy relief pitching 

I don't see this ending well.

I guess they can slow up production on the Holt memorial.

Runner in scoring position with 2 out is the time to do it, result notwithstanding

He literally just missed hitting a two-run homer by about 5 feet. Can't be too hard on him.

It was the right call.  He just missed it.

This is the time to put a fastball on Rooker's hands or in his ribs, isn't it?

[maybenxtyr]

51 or 52 innings so far out of the bullpen in 12+ games. 

[Winter]

pitching to Rooker, what could go wrong

And against the A's makes it 1000x worse

Or just have him face a good major league pitcher.

Or he could have maybe worked a walk and kept the inning going.

In what parallel universe are we living in that Bryan Baker might be our best pitcher not named Kyle Gibson

It's hard for me to envision a win. Hate to be negative. It reminds of when the Tigers swept us in 2003 at home. Difference is we were bad then too.

Maybe, but with two outs, runner on second, I'm ok with giving the team's best hitter a green light on 3-0.
