thundercleetz Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I don't want to play the Tigers. The last three years we've been very good against west cost teams - even on the west coast. I would like to play any of them - except the Angels, given how hot they are right now - but that wouldn't be a division matchup anyway.We've been good against the Tigers too.
dc. Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Well, except that first series against them this year... but that was when we were at our worst point in the season. I believe we could do better. But I really want no part of facing Scherzer-Sanchez-Verlander-etc etc etc...
varaven45 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Agreed but we need to take care of our own stuff - getting Pearce and Hardy healthy, working out the kinks with lineup and pitching staff, finishing the season on a strong note. The rest will take care of itself.
cravnravn Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 I dont think we can finish any stronger then we are currently doing, we have Pearce, Hardy and Andy Miller ailing, and are still pulling out the W's
cravnravn Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Turn back the clock to mid March, MLB Networks prediction
varaven45 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Awesome ! I can't recall the last complete game shutout by an Os starter but it was a thing of beauty
cravnravn Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 I think the O's have switched to the nail gun..
thundercleetz Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 That had to be the most dominant pitching performance of the year for us, right? Gonzo has quietly put together a spectacular year. Magic number is Sweet 16! Keep this train rolling!
ForceEight Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 That had to be the most dominant pitching performance of the year for us, right? Gonzo has quietly put together a spectacular year. Magic number is Sweet 16! Keep this train rolling!By far. So cool to see.
varaven45 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Os got in cruise control in Tampa courtesy of some shoddy D and 0 hitting. Time to wake up tomorrow boys !!!
cravnravn Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 They are not in cruise control, they are on beach time, the same as the terps are heading for a loss
Spen Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Lol, I turned the Orioles game off right after the Ravens game. Not so much out of frustration but because I needed to do some things. I assumed they lost and just found out they won.
dc. Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Cruz with all seven RBI... Huge. Meanwhile, I have not been able to watch many games through to the end. But isn't it nice to know our assumption that they would lose/blow it (so ingrained for a decade) is now wrong??
varaven45 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Its a real comforting and a definite paradigm shift from a decade ago. Its also nice to know both The Yankees and Bosox are both looking up the Os.
cravnravn Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Hey Boston tried to make it interesting today...FAILED, take another in the magic # column
thundercleetz Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Incredible sweep yesterday! The walk off double was thrilling. Both Bud and Gausman pitched excellent games yesterday striking out a lot of batters.
varaven45 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Yep. Our pitching is going to be critical heading down the homestretch and into the playoffs.Playoffs? Did I say playoffs ?!!!!
dc. Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Magic number is five... And we've got 8 games left on this home stand alone. Could have it clinched on Monday if all goes right but easily by mid week even
varaven45 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Should Buck try De Aza as lead off guy instead of Markakis? It might provide a needed boost to our offense.
