A routine throw to first that was inexplicably dropped by Ty Wigginton opened the floodgates for the White Sox to score all 4 of their runs to deafeat the O’s 4-3. The one bright spot of the game was the the arms of the Orioles’ outfielders. Reimhold and Markakis each threw strikes to elimate 2 runs or more in the disastrous 5th inning.
I will tell you what is inexcusable. Saturday night in the bottom of the 7th with the score tied at 4 (after blowing a 4-0 lead), Nick Markakis and Brian Roberts could not decide who should catch an easy pop up. A simple “I’ve got it” by one of them would have done the job. It is incredible that this could happen on a major league level and has to have Trembley pulling the hair out of this head.

I was at the O’s game last night. After 3 1/2 innings with the Birds losing 9-1, being surrounded by Red Sox nation, with a thunderstorm lurking, I decide I had enough and left. Fast forward to 11PM or so. I could not bear to watch the game after getting home until Danny Matta texted me the O’s had just made the greatest comeback in their history. I turned on MASN right away and almost feinted–Yes it was 11-10 O’s … Read More »
I have said many times that when Mr A had the league at his disposal because of the Washington issue, he should have moved the O’s to the NL East and let the Nationals try to compete in the division where $100 million dollar payroll is chicken feed. Well now the O’s are 7-3 agaist the National League. The O’s would be competitive TODAY in the NL East. I guess the need for the sellouts against NY and Boston supersedes … Read More »
Routine double play grounder is mishandled by Brian Roberts—leads to 4 runs—O’s lose 6-4 despite 2 run homer by Markakis.
It’s getting impossible to watch as the O’s hitting failures continue. Let’s hope it just road show blues. The team returns home Tuesday night against Seattle, the start of a 9 game home stand.
Is Matt Wieters having this effect on the starting pitching? Rich Hill was untouchable last night pitching 7 innings, allowing just 2 hits. Johnson and Sherrill closed out the game for the O’s now 24-28. Mr Personality. Eric Bedard , faces the O’s tomorrow.
I guess i jumped the gun a little. Tiger pitching slowed down the suddenly vaunted Oriole attack Sunday , shutting out the Birds 3-0. Making his second big-league start, Baltimore rookie Jason Berken (1-1) gave up one run, four hits and two walks in seven innings. The only glaring flaw in his outing was a fourth-inning solo shot by Curtis Granderson. The O’s now head to the Left Coast to play Seattle Sunday night.
Camden Yards was alive like I have never seen it. Yes I am saying it was hopping much more then the 2 free agent playoff years under Davey Johnson. This team is now for real. The pitching is suspect but much less then season’s start. But with the arrival of Matt Wieters, the O’s seemed to lift off the ground. There is a feeling in the air and every one of the 42000 at the game tonight felt it. Luke … Read More »
Let’s tell it like it is, for the first time in recent memory the O’s are hot. Tonight we will probably witness the largest walk-up crowd in years. Why, because the legend finally arrives tonight. Matt Wieters will be in the starting lineup for the Os. Add this to what now seems the outfield for a decade and Oriole fever is back. this season is just starting!!!
