4/3 vs. Royals

[Billy F-Face3]

Ramon did just what I figured he would. Rolled another one over.

[dystopia]

Urias needs to be DFAed.

[allquixotic]

Bottom 6th predictably lasts about 13 seconds, including commercials and ads.

[Tony-OH]

How many pitches was that inning?

Holy crap. This team has no desire to be out there tonight.

 

[Jagwar]

Hays, Mateo, McCann, Urias

Yuck x 4

[Roy Firestone]

first pitch swinging...quick outs...honest to God the top 5 hitters on Norfolk would do better than this...

They didn't yesterday either.

This is the kind of game that makes you long for the offseason.

Not at the magic 100 pitch mark this early in the season. Plus Hyde sees his bats are not doing anything tonight. You don't risk your ace on a night like this. The Orioles are going to need a Royals reliever to come in and really stink it up to have a chance tonight.

74 pitches after 6 innings.  At this point wouldn't be surprised if he threw a CG!

Urias actually was decent a couple years ago. He’s done nothing but get fatter and slower since then. 

[Roy Firestone]

I predict some major callups very soon...our lineup looks pitiful...

[Tony-OH]

See this is where I have issues with Hyde's leadership. He said in yesterday's presser that the team was not taking good at bats. So what do they do tonight? The exact same thing.

No one changed their approach. No veteran leadership going out there and havinga  good at bat, or at least working the starter that's dominating them? 

Nothing. Nada. No change.

I doubt that’s the case, but yea we aren’t making Ragans work at all. No plan it seems like. 

[TopGunnar]

$10 bucks says Royals score 2 this inning. Any takers?

Thanks for that. Asked about it earlier in the thread and got crickets, but yeah this is just what I was seeing as well.
