[NJBuckO's]

Ridiculous.

 

[tedman2012]

Who didn't see this horseshit coming? Nice call up on Meek, lol.

yep smart play was 1 out basesloaded i really wanted to see berry

 

[tedman2012]

hundley starts the o's are 2-4

 

[NJBuckO's]

And wtf is the deal with Hardy now?

 

[all4ripken]

These are the games.they have to close out against the top teams. Toronto looks like they're for real. This team simply is too inconsistent on both sides.

 

[obibyn]

Glad we called up Meeks so he could lose the game

And wtf is the deal with Hardy now?

I really hope that this is just a short-term blip... otherwise, if Hardy's defense is really starting to decline, the team might have to start thinking about swapping him and Machado earlier than expected.

 

[NJBuckO's]

I think they need to keep Machado at 3rd long term, his size lends itself to that position better imo. Plus vacuum cleaner 3B are hard to find.

Wish I could have seen it. Good work Kevin. I think Buck was wise to have Caleb catch you. What works, works, right?

I really hope that this is just a short-term blip... otherwise, if Hardy's defense is really starting to decline, the team might have to start thinking about swapping him and Machado earlier than expected.

You don't swap Hardy and Machado now. Hardy will not be with the O's next year. The question is do you keep Hardy at SS for this season or trade him before the deadline.

 

[all4ripken]

3-9 in Jimenez's starts really telling. Looks like that trend is going to continue today...

 

[NJBuckO's]

Walks the bases loaded.

 

[all4ripken]

4 walks through 2+. This dude robbed the O's outta 50mil

 

[all4ripken]

Make it 5...FUCK this dude

 

[all4ripken]

And ballgame...unreal. 6 runs on 2 fucking hits

 

[NJBuckO's]

What a fucking joke

 

[all4ripken]

What a fucking joke

I could live with it a bit easier if he was just getting rocked. But to just practically hand them runs by putting guys on...there's no excuse. Personally, I have no idea how a guy who AVERAGES over 5 walks per 9 is even a mlb pitcher.

 

[NJBuckO's]

The waived of hr didnt even matter, you knew the other runs would score anyway.
