Well, the Yankees, they're a great team, there. And, they just got to us tonight. Gonzalez had great stuff, but that's what happens when you play a great team. They're just good, that's all.....:rollseyes:

No excuses, winning teams find a way to hold leads in these games.

Hence my earlier idea of calling up everyone in September... so that you could bench all starters as "punishment" for poor plate discipline if necessary. In fact, why not bench them for an entire month? The season's already over anyway.

maybe buck wants to save the bp

 

[all4ripken]

Haha, first pitch from Krod = HBP

 

[all4ripken]

My god Krod sucks...does he ever come in and NOT give up inherited runs?

 

[NJBuckO's]

Figures now Davis can't even tie it if Jones gets on.

 

[calfan810]

I'm now officially done with baseball this yr...they've been healthy ALL YEAR...they have the most talented team in the al east and they have simply NOT DONE THEIR JOB ALL YEAR...I had 3 game tickets in September and 1 the last series...I will not sell them nor will I not go nor will I watch...I will eat the cost like the Orioles have eaten a Dick

Feldman:

2013 with the Cubs: 3.46 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
2013 with the Orioles: 4.56 ERA, 1.28 WHIP
2013 overall: 3.87 ERA, 1.19 WHIP

Norris:

2013 with the Astros: 3.93 ERA, 1.41 WHIP
2013 with the Orioles: 4.91 ERA, 1.70 WHIP
2013 overall: 4.13 ERA, 1.47 WHIP


I could be wrong, but it seems that all three players have had an above-average first half of the season (relative to their career numbers) when they were acquired. Statistically speaking, that means they would be more likely to perform worse with our team... and unfortunately that's exactly what had happened. (To put it another way: We bought high on these players. )
