Wednesday, June 28: Orioles vs Reds, series deciding game

[O's84]

A lot of breaks for the Reds tonight.

The Hicks shine is definitely starting to wear.

[Hank Scorpio]

Well if that doesn’t sum it the F up, I don’t know what does.

I don't blame Hicks trying to get that.

He should have quickly waived him off.

Akin gets the 9th with bases clear.  In the 10th he has to deal with a base runner.  You guys are never going to convince me to use the closer to save a tie in the 9th.  

Every team in the league is going to do that at home. It's the smart move. You don't have to buy it, but that's the way it's always been done.

Not our night, not our series. Take the day off, reboot, and I hope I never see the Reds again.

Obviously.

They have won three challenges but it seems like they should have won at least two of them. 

[slakattack]

Never thought I'd be looking forward to seeing Dean Kremer so much.

[Bemorewins]

Mercifully it's over.

[O's84]

Man, bases loaded 1 out would have made things interesting.

[dtk9119]

How in the F did this dude strike out 3?

What a miserable POS game

More soul searching needed Mike Elias. 

[LA2]

8th inning was fun.

[Hank Scorpio]

That game can kiss my ass.

[Tony-OH]

Ah, sometimes you gotta tip the cap. The Reds outplayed the Orioles this series. They're fast, they can hit, they made some good defensive plays, and their bullpen outpitched us. Add in a Sh-t start by Gibson and this is what we get. 

Nothing more to take out of this but that they were outplayed and honestly, when you match up talent, I'm not sure we are really that much better.
