Thursday, September 14: the Showdown with the Rays for the AL East begins... 7:15 pm on Fox TV

[LA2]

The whole Tampa OF does the Arozarena arms over the chest thing. Jeesh

[baltfan]

Just got beat tonight.   Hopefully bats will start to come alive.  Problem is Flaherty tomorrow.

Our 3 best hitters go down 1-2-3 all K's.

We don't hit after the 6th.

[Malike]

Ump scorecard should be interesting tomorrow.

[Emory Eagle]

Well, that was a crappy game.  Get'em tomorrow I guess.

The Rays bullpen is just significantly better than ours. 

Orioles are going to have to get a lead before the seventh inning in this series to have a chance at winning. That was brutal to watch.

Wild card… here we come!

Orioles are in a free fall.  LOL.  Tampa will sweep us on our own field and get the tie breaker. 

Well it was fun for a while. 

I feel that way as well.

[Moshagge3]

Per Roch, that's 34 straight innings without an earned run for the Rays bullpen. They're just on another level. The O's had to get to Civale and they didn't.

[Gurgi]

We cant get any hits.  It hurts watching another 4 hit game.

Strike zone is eye-level to ankles.

The GameDay zone says he was throwing 100 on the legal side of the edges of the official strike zone. Robo Ump would have coldly called all those strikes.

Nothing but pop outs and strikeouts the last 3 games.

Someone must have told them Adam Jones was going to be here tomorrow.

They fill up the zone with nasty stuff.

He had a 6.00 ERA when we picked him up and his ERA has gone UP since.

I'm looking at the stuff and what it's capable of doing. Have seen some good innings. Even the bad ERA with Minnesota earlier this season was after a great start: 1.31 ERA after 21 games. Hoping we can catch a good streak like that--important thing is he still seems able to pull something like that off. The stuff is there.

The bats will come to life tomorrow and put 9 runs on the board but it won’t be enough after Flaherty gives up 6 runs in 3 innings
