Thursday afternoon May 4: rubber match in KC, Orioles try to win 7th straight series

Gee.. so that's what a shutdown inning looks like.

I'm preparing for the GRod to the IL announcement

or GRod to AAA and Irvin up so that he can work on his mechanics.

Hard to believe Jordan Lyles gives up 8 and gets the win

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.

Throwing 6 innings just about every start whether you're pitching good or not is a tough job.  I'm sure the $8.5 million will make him feel better about the beatings he's going to get.

if we lose this game...as early in the season it is, it will rob us of any momentum going into much tougher series...im extremely concerned about our starting pitching...its been awful...

Horrific job by the bats third time through the order. 1-7 with a bloop double.

Giving up 19 runs in 22 innings to these guys is kind of a lot, right???

Classic Jordan Lyles, somehow gets thru 5

I don't know if AAA is the answer either. He wasn't really setting it on fire there in the beginning of the season.

[OriolesMagic83]

Depending on Perez for a shutdown inning.  Good luck!

The old forearm tightness hope not but would not be surprised

Well, we did the same thing with the As and White Sox… I really don’t think the starters are this bad.  But they have been terrible so far.

Every game we played this year has been a challenge.  Not one game can be easy.

[Roy Firestone]

Can we PLEASE get a clean inning?

[dtk9119]

7 runs Tues 6 runs last night 6 so far today vs the worst offense in baseball.. is anyone else concerned that this pitching staff is going to get TOASTED the rest of the month vs GOOD teams?

[Moose Milligan]

Can't we just have a laugher for once?  Can't we just blow out a team, rest our bullpen score a ****ton of runs?
