  1. It would sure be nice if the O's would stop giving those 2 big buffoons cookies right down the middle.
  2. Watching Judge hit bombs everyday while Vlad hits none is truly frustrating!
  3. If memory serves, that 45 homer 2nd baseman cost them a trip to the playoffs when he couldn't make the simplest throw to first. It would have been nice to see what that team could have done in October. As for this team, sometimes they feel like a team of destiny and the next minute it feels like they're doomed to collapse. If they could ever get the offense firing on all cylinders again I think they could do some damage. They're all going through a down period right now but it might be good to be coming out of it at the right time. Get Bo back and Vlad, Barger and Kirk come around and let's see what happens.
  4. With Seattle losing last night top spot in the AL would be clinched as well. Yankers and O's are the early game, hopefully it's 10-0 by the time the Jays take the field.
  5. Orioles are useless. Shocking. Does anyone (including Schneider Atkins and co.) believe this team will go anywhere with Hoffman as closer? I sure don't. He's nothing but shaky!
  6. Just because these guys are in the lineup it doesn't mean they'll be all that motivated. Hopefully they're in a hurry to get home and swinging at everything.
  7. That's also true. He's in a bad place right now. Hopefully he breaks out and hits 3 tonight and carries them through October.
  8. I feel like it's the oppo power that's missing from his game. It seems like he's trying to pull everything sometimes when he should be roping it over the 2nd basemans head. The year he hit 48 bombs I seem to remember a lot of them being to right-centre.
  9. That's true. And not having Bo behind him hasn't helped for sure. Judging by the way he got down the line yesterday he's over the hammy injury. It's time for him to get over this slump and put up some numbers.
  10. It was a nice win yesterday. Did Vlad get a ball out of the infield? I don't remember one. He looks absolutely lost at the plate. He's looks like he doesn't have a plan. Does he even listen to the hitting coaches? I've heard nearly every hitter on the team mention Pop, Lou and Hunter in their interviews, Vlad never has. Mattingly is the only one I've seen working with him at all. This slump he's in is extremely frustrating and the timing couldn't be worse. Let's hope he snaps out of it TODAY!!
  11. Winning the first 2 against the Rays and having the Orioles win at least 1 of the next 2 is the perfect scenario. That would clinch top spot in the AL before Sunday and give us home-field advantage through the ALCS. Gausman can make a light tune-up start on Sunday and be lined up for game 1 of the DS.
  12. Haha. It's better than cheering for the Yankers.
  13. 16 up 16 down so far. And this offense continues to stagnate. Grrrr!!
  14. He ripped the cover off that ball!! Good sign i guess...
  15. 2 one pitch outs to end a promising inning. Talk about frustrating! If I was managing I'd tell these guys a first pitch out gets you benched tomorrow.
  16. I quoted Laika. I guess you didn't read it. ^^^^
  17. Vlad!!?? He's the biggest Betty Crocker on the team right now. What's the plan for him? Tell the pitcher to be ready to field a dribbler? He better step up and quick!
  18. Vladimir Guerrero Junior. A good player, some would say a great player, is in the worst 2-week stretch of his career right now. When the team needs him the absolute most. Right before spring training when he stood there and said the Jays weren't close in their offer, he talked (through Hector Lebron) about how his "Lawyers" were handling it. I was pi$$ed off about the whole thing and started a thread about trading him for someone clutch. I was quoted advanced stats, late and close numbers being good or something to that effect. My response was clutch to me meant success in big moments of the season or in a playoff series. It's the biggest moments of the season right now and where is Vlad? He's getting tossed arguing a pitch that was a strike. He's hitting 40 foot dribblers to the pitcher on balls he should be destroying. He's hitting into double plays. He's getting paid to carry this team on his back, and failing big time. Come on, tell me again that he's clutch. Stats are for losers, isn't that how the saying goes?
  19. It looks bleak atm but a 4 game winning streak starting today would cure everything. The boys are squeezing the bats WAY too tight! We still own the top spot in the AL. It's time for the leaders on this team to lead the way and get it done.
  20. Cleveland is leading the Central with a negative run differential at the moment. Weird!!
  21. Bullpen day tomorrow. Why are we burning another arm here when Berrios was in the game? Some of the things they do boggle the mind.
  22. After Berrios accused the runner at 2nd of relaying location the next pitch should have been chin music. It's time to put a stop to this BS.
