Friday August 18: O's take on A's in the ruins of the Oakland Coliseum

[Malike]

Mullers ERA just ticked up over Fuji's.

That was pretty anemic from Gunnar.

Kevin Brown is not allowed to acknowledge things like "SELL THE TEAM" chants.

I mean they openly discussed it.

[Hallas]

Gunnar ya bum, send him back to AAA!

[Frobby]

Gunnar’s pissed he’s only 3 for 4.  Shaking his head.

that "balls hit" graphic needs to go.

 

I read that as "bullsh*t" before I did a double take.

LOL

This 1B is just awful.  

Looks like he's a catcher, playing bad 1B.

I must admit: I really like what Frazier does for this team and will be sad to see him go after this season like previous infielders Jonathan Villar, Hanser Alberto and José Iglesias.

I can toast to that. He has pretty much assured himself another MLB contract next season. Might be able to get multi-year deal

He's a candidate for release IMO

From what I understand - strained his back against the Padres.  They are letting it heal a bit.

Is Hicks injured? What's the news on him since leaving his first game back (when he went 2 for 3 in the W vs. the Padres)?

He's had a sore back.

They thought it would be better after the off day.  And he did some running and fielding and felt great.

And then he took some BP... and didn't feel so great.

Orioles have seen so much good pitching this is like an oasis in the desert. 

Big difference in defenses too.

[oriolediehard]

Rays in 5-5 tie in 6th

[Just Regular]

Gunnar OPS deficit to Yoshida down to about 30 points, ignoring his defensive and team context advantages.

[ScGO's]

Westburg hurt?

[ScGO's]

Dude, Kyle Gibson, what kinda 0-2 pitch is that?
