8/16 - Red Sox vs. Orioles

[SilverRocket]

Can we stop rooting for moving the runner over and sac flies when down 2?

Throw a wild pitch.

I'm saying you act like a hitter can choose to hit a ball coming at them at 98 mph thru a hole in the infield defense.  If it's so easy to hit in the majors, batting averages would be average .700 instead of .250.   No doubt that's what he wanted to do, but he was just as likely to pop the ball up or hit a weak grounder.   Yeah no doubt a mistake on Holliday's part, but it's not Holliday's fault he hung ball over the plate for a 3 run HR. 

I'm not acting like anything. I'm simply saying the Sox orchestrated a play where Devers dekes a steal, the second baseman vacates his position, and Wong executes a perfect inside-out swing to the right side of the infield (on the first pitch of the AB (pitch was middle-middle)). The Sox went up there with a plan and it worked perfectly. The fact Burnes gave up a three run shot was really the cherry on top of it all.

Man on second with no outs and no score is the story of this O's offense in the second half.

Needed at least one there. Poor situational hitting.

It's the sixth inning. Chip away. One run would have been big.

O'Hearn couldn't hit a sac fly, p..... me off. It's so infuriating!!!!!

Just hope our bullpen will give us a chance.

Yeah somehow they are scoring the 2nd most runs in the league the season and 2nd half.

I'm sure there are stats that say the Orioles are in the top third with SAC FLIES. But with my eyes, OVER AND OVER again(yes McCann had one tonight) ...I see we seem to fail to get the runner home with a SAC FLY...Its really frustrating to watch...

[RavensNOsGuy]

Minus the terrible pitching and other crap we should have the lead if we could hit a few flys or balls in play. F’ing terrible.

[LGOrioles]

They had 1st and 3rd with 1 out in a 2 run game last inning. They proceeded to go 0-2 with RISP.

Then they had a free lead off baserunner on a pitch timer violation who was moved to 2nd with no outs on a wild pitch. And they go 0-3 with RISP. Just terrible to not take advantage of those situations against borderline bad relief pitchers.

It’s bad when you have to start rooting for this

Especially when it seems he's always lining a ball to deep center.
