Tuesday, August 15: Orioles at Padres

[SteveA]

Would be hilarious if we could have a big enough rally to make Wacha the first starter removed from the game.

[Ripken]

Woof

[Moose Milligan]

Of course.  Of course.

[O's84]

Good God that was an awful swing.

[Billy F-Face3]

If firs5 you don't succeed, dust yourself off an try again.

Let's go Austin Hays!

Austin could use a hot streak starting now

Hays just looks awful.  Off balance, late, steep, all kinds of bad things.

[e16bball]

Kind of a harsh reminder tonight that while our team has a lot of talent, we’re still a couple years away from really matching the top few teams in terms of pure talent.

We have a great group of guys who play hard every day. It’s a good lineup from top to bottom, a solid bench, etc. 

But this team has four guys who are indisputably top 30 players of the last half-decade. And they’re all still in their primes. Plus they’ve got another dude who happens to have more WAR than any of them. 

They have some sort of bad mojo — the anti-Orioles in that sense, probably. But on the nights when Kim and Tatis and Soto and Machado and Bogaerts are all locked in and passing the baton, it’s a real tall task for our guys to keep pace with that.

Well that was a kick in the nuts 

[FlaO'sFan]

No way we even make the playoffs.

Have I told you how much I despise leaving runners stranded in scoring position?

[Moose Milligan]

I'm pretty sure my urine stream has a faster velocity than Wacha's fastball.

And yet, we can't do anything against it.

[Miami7851]

Really pathetic bases loaded and Mullins and hays strike out

[O's84]

Laughably pathetic.  Hays is an automatic out and I have no idea what Mullins was doing on that 2-2 count that was so obviously a ball.  Started inside with 0 horizontal movement.
