deeshopper Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Meanwhile, Chris Davis was supposed to be on Mike and Mike this morning at 9:30 and didn't call in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I heard on the radio that Davis is on pace to hit 58 homers and 140 rbi's.That's fantastic.Another caller said he was listening to Toronto radio and they said the Jays will have the chance to test themselves against the "Big Boys"!How times have changed!

cravnravn Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Strop time!!! crushing defeat, pitching wasted an opportunity to tie the sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 You wonder how many chances will Strop get. Of course, the whole bullpen gave it up plus the Jays are smoking right now. We need Gonzalez to be the stopper today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Strop gave up one hit. The story here should be that Matusz cannot pitch more than one inning. That's been a consistent thread for more than a few months. He can get three outs. If he sits, when he comes back, he loses it. Strop's single though is far more dramatic.

dc. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I don't know that I'd call the Jays mediocre pitching... and not Wang either. They've now won 10 straight. Wang has been pretty much perfect for them since being picked up and starting in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varaven45 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 At least the Bosox and Yanks lost today while we were pitching BP to Jays. We got the hell out of Dodge (Toronto), playing arguably our worst series of the season, still in 2nd and only 2 games back. Time for Buck an the Boys to blow this one off and right the ship.

cravnravn Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 No harm, no foul, we only lost a game to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Crav, No harm, no foul but no wins. This funk is becoming similar to the one a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, we are in this crappy funk. I am out ; check back later in the week. Hopefully, we get our crap together by Yanks series. This team plays down to the competition.

cravnravn Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We'll be fine a little losing streak before the all star break won't hurt us. Buck ball after the break is when the real fun begins The way it looks to me, hitters have figured out O'day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nice article on Davis by Ken Rosenthal of Fox sports... Davis, 27, had just hit his 29th and 30th home runs in the Orioles’ 11-3 victory over the Yankees. But if you watch my pregame and postgame interviews with him, it’s obvious that he isn’t carried away with himself, and probably never will be.Modesty comes easily for a player who hit 17 homers in half a season as a rookie with the Rangers in 2008, then failed to stick in the majors between ’09 and ’11, getting demoted six times.“Chris knows the distance from the outhouse to the penthouse,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter says. “He realizes that right now he’s the flavor of the month. He has a grip on reality.” http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/baltimore-orioles-first-baseman-chris-davis-modest-despite-30-home-runs-2013-success-063013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc. Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No no no... this team is in crisis. It was less than 7 days ago they were in the middle of losing 4 straight. Unacceptable. Failures. Worthless. Jim Johnson ALMOST blew a save. Each of those homeruns was only a solo shot. Chris Tillman only went 6 innings. Darren O'Day's inning was nearly catastrophic. We wasted several runs on Saturday we could have saved up for a later game if we only paid more attention. And of course the Yankees aren't actually any good so it's not worth reading anything into this. This team is in trouble, remember? Buck better do something to right the ship because we won't always face a team as awful as the Yankees. (Side note: despite really just trying to make a joke of the sway of this thread - it's actually true: the Yanks were the worst team in the league in June...)

varaven45 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Great series win playing up against the competition . Hitting and defensive play is great . Starting Pitching was solid at times over the weekend . Bullpen and JJ are still shaky. He was on the verge of giving up the lead last night.Don Stanhouse would have been proud Hunter might be the long term answer as closer.

dc. Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 VA - two corrections. 1. We did not play up. The Yanks were the worst team in baseball in June - in runs scored, run differential and record. We beat them, like we should have. 2. There is no such thing as a "long term answer" at closer unless you have a guy named Rivera. How many closers, league-wide, have gone more than 1-2 years being 'dominant' recently? Answer is pretty much none. There's lots of good data on that. And that's part of why these guys are relievers. Hunter's had a great few months - so did Strop, so did ... everyone at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
