Beltre if you weren't a dumbass you would've scored.

 

[romeo212000]

at young swinging for a home run.

 

[WilltheThrill]

More opportunities just pissed away. Unreal. Just as we get some momentum we find a way to just fall apart.

 

[fanman8825]

Ugh. Just awful. Beltre would have scored.

I hate to get on AB because he has been so good but that hurts

Yep, especially when runs have been so hard to come by lately. It's going to be a tough pill to swallow ie we lose by 1.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Why was Oswalt taken out?

Really hard to fault him right now... He's in a lot of pain. Just tried to do too much.

Thats what I wondered. If aint broke dont fix it. Oswaly only threw 29 pitches

I know. It was just frustrating.

Was this Roys first outing since his injury?

 

[WilltheThrill]

And just like that we're down 2 again. I still don't understand why Oswalt was taken out when he was looking really good. Ross has given up 3 hard hit balls.

Think so.

 

[fanman8825]

There was no need to take out Oswalt.

 

[romeo212000]

I think wash wanted Ross to face the two lefties.

Could have gone with Oswalt at least one more inning

 

[WilltheThrill]

I want us to have one big inning. Just one. Like 4 or 5 runs big. It's been way too long since we had one.

Thought we were going have it in the 2nd

 

[WilltheThrill]

We pop/fly out far too much. So many harmless pop outs and not near enough hard hit grounders or line drives.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Have a feeling they didn't want to push Roy too much....since it was his first outing since his injury.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Ok. Big inning coming right here. I can feel it.
