8/11 vs Oakland

Let's go Huff daddy.

Roberts still did the right thing. It just didn't work out.

He should have stopped a few steps down the line when he saw where the ball was hit. It was less his fault then the call to go on contact with the infield in.

And Markakis gets a single that would have driven in a run. God almighty we find so many ways to lose and so few to win. Huff up now, not expecting anything here.

The right side, I believe Bergy pitches on the left side.

Thanks. Yeah, Bergy pitches from the left end so that his pitches don't tail into the middle of the plate.

[Scrat1]

Dammit Huff.

*sigh*

I'm really close to going and watching TDK just because I love that movie.

[LA2]

Reimold on third, Mora up. 3-2 pitch, it's up and in and Mora tries to lean back out of the way. Ball hits the knob of the bat, and squirts up the first base line. Reimold breaks, and scores, as Mora is put out at first.

Looked ugly on a K.

Thanks. Boy did we just blow that half inning: three runners and...no runs?!

[El Gordo]

They need to take Jones' bubblegum away from him until he shapes up.

[Yard Bird]

With the infield in, Roberts should not have gone on contact.

Could have scored on the Markakis single if it played out the same. Instead, our cleanup hitter comes up to hit a slow grounder to 2nd and end the inning...

[The Wedge]

Thanks. Boy did we just blow that half inning: three runners and...no runs?!

Yeah really.

The really funny thing about the Mora ball hitting the knob of the bat thing was that they put Mora out while he stood about 20 feet to the left of the plate, where his momentum of trying to get out of the way carried him.

Big hangin' meatball, there.

[Satyr3206]

I have a hard time understanding how players that have played since little league can be so fundamentally unsound.

[O-The-Memories]

God hates the Baltimore Orioles. 1-1 game which we should be winning, we have guys like Scott Hairston outperforming our guys.

[mrbig1]

1-1. Can we hit home runs?

If the ball had been hit to one of the right side infielders he'd have had a chance to get back to third, but with it going to the shortstop even though you're screwed either way your chances are a little better of avoiding the tag having the catcher drop the ball at home than they are of getting back to third safely. Roberts played it the way he was supposed to. The mistake - one they make all the freaking time - is on the coaching staff. I know they have a tough time getting clutch hits, but they have an even harder time overcoming all the runners they get thrown out at the plate! :angryfire:

[Hank Scorpio]

We have been outscored by 100 runs this year?

LOL!!!!!!!
