Wonder what Greysons Mom will tweet about this start?  She better have a reason for his epic suck.

He has got to be tipping pitches 

Yeah the homer by Fermin showed that.  That was a good up and in fastball above the zone and he was able to get on top of that too easily like he knew it was coming.  2 of the 3 homers were pitches out of zone.

Please don't blow this game.

And Perez coming in? Can I still bet on Kansas City?

This is actually kinda a big test for Perez.

I was concerned earlier when he threw one at 93, but he was just back up at 96.

I don't mean high velo, high in the zone.  That was the pitch Adley kept calling for last outing, and he couldn't execute it.  Early in the game today, he was able to do so, then lost it in the 3rd.  They saw that and adjusted.

Voth needs to start stretching

[Roy Firestone]

What a pathetic performance by our pitchers...unreal...

[mrbig1]

I can't watch anymore.

Rays are scoring 6+ runs per game.  I'm scared what they're going to do to the O's pitching.

[oriolediehard]

Seems like the Royals are a powerhouse team.

Kinda glad I'm not watching this horseshit right now.

Wonder how long Hyde is going to keep running Perez out there. He’s averaging 2.5 base runners an innings

Also a concern when he can’t execute a pitch he’s definitely going to need.

Need to smack some homers of our own. Jordan Lyles is STILL in there after 8 runs and we're just hitting pop-outs. Make him work.

[allquixotic]

All of our guys are weakly popping out. All of their guys make our pitchers look like they're throwing BP. What is going ON?
