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

lol at all the doom posting 12 year olds.

[Dunk35]

Their bullpen pitched 4 perfect innings either tied or with a one run lead. 
 

Os are choking the season away right before our eyes.

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.

Yeah it's like playing KC in 2014.

Good, tight game anyway. Just hate seeing em unable to hit lately. Will come back fresh tomorrow, hopefully RMC isn’t out for the whole series. 

[OnlyOneOriole]

This team is done,

 

Zero energy.

[dystopia]

I've made fun of every sweep prediction people have made this year but I think it's happening this time.

[O's84]

The Rays took advantage of their chances, we didn't.  More than one more person to blame but Adley stands out.  Ground ball  DP when all we needed was a fly ball against a tired pitcher.  A few innings later Adley pops up a hanging breaking ball on a 2-1 count.  His SLG % is in the low .300's this month.

That wasn’t a choke. They got beat.  It happens.  Rays we’re just better tonight and have definitely been hot.  Orioles bats are a bit of a mess at the moment.

Good comp and the Rays have a better lineup than that Royals team.

Other than the umpire not helping out much tonight the Orioles have been getting outplayed this week. It's not like any of these games have been stolen from them.

I'm looking at the stuff and what it's capable of doing. Have seen some good innings.

There's capability and then there's results. Lopez has had a half-season of not sucking and that was with the O's last year. He has had no success otherwise. It's not a small sample size either.

Darn Raley got the clutch homer.

It's a problem when you're getting outplayed by Wainwright and Rom. 

This loss wouldn't hurt if they hadn't played like chumps against a crap team.

Elias likes dumpster diving....look at the rope he gives Mateo.

1.31 ERA after 21 games with the Twins to start the season. 0.00 after the first 13. The stuff is there.
