4/15 O's at A's

[ghogan]

I know Jones probably wouldn't have gotten an out at home, but WHY did he catch that ball with his palm facing down?

I can see it was a sinking line drive, but still, he's a pro who should be able to read that and position his glove accordingly.

This whole team needs to watch Tom Emanski's baseball videos. Not do them, just see what fundamentals look like. Just ask Fred McGriff.

Seeing someone wearing that blue hat from the Tom Emanski video just might be the highlight of the year. How sad is that?

DT needs to lose it. Seriously. Yell at the ump, bench his starters, start a brawl, something to get some FIRE in this team.

Honest questions:

What are the chances...

Jones simply does not develop and turns into another Delmon Young - an underachiever that never comes close to reaching his potential?

Markakis has passed his prime' date=' and never puts up 20 HR or a .300 avg in a season again?

Gonzalez becomes our J.J. Putz?

Roberts' career ends before his contract is up?[/quote']

- Maybe?

- Past his prime at 26? Maybe AT his prime, but not past it.

- Gonzo's on the DL

- Severely doubt it

why do we watch this crap? This is the worst Oriole team I have ever seen- and I've been a fan since '62. DH looks like a scared AAA or AA pitcher, Jones is awful, Miggy looks like he wants to retire, etc. etc etc.

And they have the nerve to charge for walk-up tix. I know one guy who won't be walking up soon.

Now to make us feel worse they compare Wieters to Terry Steinbach....FML

Bonus) The orioles fail to plate another RISP this year?

Is there something I missed re: Robert's injury?

[Big Mac]

These guys just flat out suck.

Agreed to all. But i'd like to say I was there when they started to turn it around. Thats why i keep watching.

And yet again, we have a lead off double, and there Markakis stands, still on second, 2 outs later. Unf'ing real. I'm about to explode.

[adamwolff11]

And this boys, is how you waste a leadoff double.

Poor Baseball 101 is currently in session.

At least he made contact.

Trembley should be fired solely for putting Tejada back in the cleanup spot... :cussing:

[SammyBirdland]

A's scouts are awesome. They have us swinging at all kinds of nonsense.

Yeah. Its the scouts...

[adamwolff11]

All these guys are is a damn tease.

We will not score this inning.

But we have 2 on now, to add to the frustration.

This is like a damn conspiracy!

[BaltBird 24]

We've got two men on base, gents. This is what we call a rally.
