dc. Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sigh... bound to happen... Came into tonight with dead bats, dead arms and 3 straight losses... Arrieta pitches well. Bats put up runs early. Bats decide later runs don't matter. Arms decide later pitching doesn't matter. New closer decides leads don't matter. Old closer decides its okay to give up a run in the 10th. I hope Buck rips them a new one. How about Koji as the closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That was really an awful loss. They happen over the course of the season to most teams at times but this one hurt. Big difference between 7-4 and 6-5 (and losing 4 in a row) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Scott is killing us in left field. He is the clear weak link in an otherwise stellar defense so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 And at the moment, neither he or Pie are hitting. I still don't get all the Scott love. Fine season last year... but far from "stellar" and still went through a series of HORRIBLE slumps. Reimold was hitting this spring, unlike others... bring him in.

vmax Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The Orioles are hitting teams who are catching fire so everything has to go right for them...which it's not.They haven't found their "identity" or winning formula. It's still very early in the season, but they look like an "around .500 team." Just don't have the stuff to hang with the big dogs. Then again....we knew that. When they start hitting, they could go on some good runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 As long as they don't stop pitching. We have to remember how brutal the early-season schedule is. It's not the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 They have stopped pitching... I will give Britton and Guthrie their one down game, but the others haven't looked sharped at the moment. The bullpen looks atrocious. Can't figure why we keep running Gonzalez out there. And the bats have been pretty lame. All season they've been lame, really. Don't get me wrong - I'm not jumping ship. I'm just saying that we're back to a point we've seen before. Nothing is clicking at the moment. It's frustrating. And we've certainly killed that 'strong start' by losing (correction) 6 straight.

Spen Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am not jumping ship. If told that the team would start 6-7 I would have taken it with no problem. Its just the way they have achieved that record that is annoying. Luke goes through stretches where he swings at absolutely anything.

varaven45 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Is it me or are the O's making every MLB pitcher look like Cy Young ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BallTMore Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Homerun Luke. I hate the Orioles. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
