8/18 - O's at Rays - Game 1

[Hoiles23]

A Gibbons-esque way to end the game.

to quote Palmer, "If you swing at balls out of the zone, he'll throw you balls out of the zone." Or something like that.

How he got to be a #1 prospect, much less a top 100 prospect, is beyond me at this point.

We wouldn't have even been in this game if it wasn't for Wieters. This post is absurd.

There's a lot of people being ignorant and stupid right now.

Not a lot. I haven't seen anyone else being ridiculous. Only 1.

Gimme a break.

I guess it's just me, but him seemingly swinging in slow motion is getting kind of old.

This is coming from someone who bought a Wieters shirt and was at his 2nd ever game where he got his first hit. I was as far on the Wieters train as anyone, but holy crap, do something already.

Like maybe hit a clutch 2-run bomb to put us back in the game?

oh yeah...

[Stan P]

Sadly I saw that coming.

One day, that at bat will end in a game winning hit. Patience my fellow Oh'ers.

You saw this one coming?

Uh oh. Wieters up. Let's make this game epic Wieters. Dare I say.. Defining Moment?

Again, you saw this one coming?

True I think one other person made some snide 'I'm not surprised comment' but it was mostly just the one.

Wieters will be fine. I think the best thing everybody can do for Matt Wieters is forget he's around.

God forbid I get frustrated at his struggles. Of course the top 100 prospect post was sarcastic, but you act like I don't have reason to be frustrated.

There's better ways to show your frustation than acting like a total d-bag and making asinine comments.

And "struggles"? Sure he hasn't immediatley walked on water but he's been a solid to above-average catcher and is still jut a rookie, he's been fine, he'll be fine.

How is this even questionable? I wanted to see a defining moment but I expected the worse as a an O fan.

Why are you even questioning me on this? Seriously, poor form.

Wieters right now is the 2nd best catcher in the AL East. imo, behind Posada who is having a good year.
