Turned the game on at 712 and we already 2 down with Chris Davis at bat...not making doubront throw pitches not a good start

 

[calfan810]

What did they discuss over the off day

 

[hattersgonnahate]

Hint for the entire lineup: Don't swing the bat at all until Doubront starts throwing strikes.

 

[tedman2012]

2-1 1st and third 1 out davis poops up and aj swing at balls

 

[NJBuckO's]

Not good enough.

 

[tedman2012]

keep swinging aj at balls

 

[calfan810]

Bottom of the order putting it in...and the top of the order chokin it away as usual

 

[CamdenFan]

Well, Davis and Jones are once again leading the way with their bats...... Um, actually I guess they're not really doing jack with their bats. Good thing Valencia is in the lineup. The guy actually tears Boston up.

 

[calfan810]

Chen hasn't figured out the importance of the shut down inning...absolutely pathetic at putting a team in its place where it belongs

 

[NJBuckO's]

They always do just enough to be behind.

 

[calfan810]

Its Chen...reminds me too much of jeremy Guthrie...he'd be lights out when we had no runs...we get a run or 2 he'd find a way to give up 2 runs or 3 to be just behind...then when he gets losses- peeps say "he had no run support"

 

[all4ripken]

My god, all this team does is strike out. I can't imagine what their BABIP would be with just 1/3 less Ks...

 

[calfan810]

HAHAHHAAHAHHAA 3-4-5 are 0-6 with 5 strikeouts hahahhahahaha...and they call themselves players...hahah bs

Hmmm, maybe they should call up every position player on the 40-man roster in September as well. That way, you could theoretically pinch-hit throughout the game if you want to.

Chen has good stuff. When he's really good, he can be unhittable. But he is more prone to making a mistake and hanging a ball out over the plate. He serves up long balls more than he should. And it always seems at critical times.

 

[NJBuckO's]

They pitch timidly when they have a lead.

 

[hattersgonnahate]

Hook. Chen's clearly having a bad day.

 

[CamdenFan]

And yet another mistake, and another long ball over the fence.

Boston has scored in 3 of 4 innings. The Orioles have not been able to do that at anytime during the season. They have base runners. They just don't plate them.
