Remember when the Orioles were embarrassing for baseball?

We've put out some teams that are embarrassing for MLB for like 4 straight years.

Took 10 innings to beat them.

I'll take Norfolk's lineup over the A's lineup especially if Jackson Holliday gets called up to AAA.

That Hays defensive indifference move to second paid off too.

Sooooo good to get this cushion we needed all game.  So great that Cano helped keep us in it and that Fuji didn’t let it get away from him even after letting them tie it up. Edit: and Cionel!

And Bautista is so fun to watch when he’s Mountain High.

Again? sigh.

Losing McClanahan and Pedo Franco has had the opposite effect.

They're still just kind of hanging around. 5-5 in their last 10. We'll see how being down both guys impacts them over 5-6 weeks. It's still a very talented roster, however.

Webb has to have a real short leash here if he doesn't have it don't piss around letting him give up a few runs.

Has MASN given much coverage to the fact that this is the last time the O's will play in Oakland? I haven't had the volume on much during this series. Feel bad for these fans, would be sad as well having to endure a season like this.

Not the Webb I thought we had.

Aren't they going to be in Oakland for another year at least?

A's play in Oakland next year.

Was it really that much to ask for a stress free 5 run lead?
