The Rangers have been swept every year. You know what they have that we don't.

2 less world series championships?

They're gonna move the goalposts to having been not swept in 3 or 4 games series after they drop this game.

Nah.  They’d be done talking about it.  But they  are gonna win.

We're never good against these guys two years in a row it seems. And they came in struggling offensively. Although, it's really their pitching and our coldness at the plate that is beating us. 

Weren’t the Orioles 10-3 against them last year? I mean it’s been a bad two games so far for sure, but that’s because the pitching isn’t attacking (10 BB’s in 15 innings) and the offense seemingly forgot how to hit (8 hits in 14 innings). Never good when the other team is walking more than you’re hitting. Credit to the Jays though, they’re being patient and having good AB’s. Can’t say the same about the Orioles although they’ve been better today besides with RISP.

Must be nice watching your lineup work the count and wear out pitchers.

They have 19 wins. We have 26. I'm sure that they would rather take our results than theirs. Just guessing.

One in the last 40+ years.

so why not pinch hit Hays for Mullins? Or Stowers, for that matter?

It's foolish to pinch hit this early with the short benches we have these days.

The correct answer is that Hays should have started the game in CF vs the lefty.   Why activate him if you aren't going to use him vs a LHP when you have a lefty hitting CF in a horrific slump???

Tired of success?  Figures.

Weren't you guys on an island together?  What happened to you love birds?

Webb not making many fans when he walks the bases loaded then gives up a semi line drive to get out of it.

Just a PSA:  we're down one run.

but we arent hitting the ball..and not pitching well...we arent trending well

[Bemorewins]

Kikuchi is not the same guy that he was in previous seasons. He looks like a legit top of the rotation starter now.

[Moose Milligan]

I'll be good not seeing Kikuchi ever again.

IIRC, one year we lit him up and for some reason that makes me think we have a shot at him.  But that seems to hardly be the case.

Nothing, he's just being contrarian. 

[TopGunnar]

Offense is trash man
