If we look this bad against sucky teams I can only imagine how much worse it will be when we play Tampa.

The Orioles have a poor record against NL teams, for some reason. Even against bad NL teams. Go back and look. I was concerned about this series because of that. But, the game is not over.

Going 1-2-3 is not the offensive explosion I hoped for. Not gonna get it done. We're going to need a lot of runs to win today. That means we need to tack on a few every inning.

And it was mostly weak contact and rolling over. Very disappointing to see them be that impatient.

Gunnar maybe needs to adjust a little again.  Him not walking since 8/30 seems a bit much.  

He’s ripped both his outs tonight.

I'm more worried at the moment about blowing through the bullpen arms

They are over .500 but yes in comparison.  I think we do better against teams that we are familiar with and can prep our hitters well on.

Second.

[Uli2001]

The strike zone seems to be minuscule today. It's affecting our guy more than theirs.

[Gurgi]

Even when Kremer gets two outs you cant relax.   You know he is bound to give up a run or two anyway.

I said a little.  That’s a long time to go without walking. He is better now.  Maybe be a bit more selective on pitches he tries to hit.   

[Uli2001]

Go Minnesota.

Last QS was Bradish - Friday night

[Gurgi]

Either this or next inning is the last for Kremer.    He has thrown 80 already

Oh I thought you were talking about Kremer.
