See, Ted has the right idea. When your team is sucking, starting watching a different sport. Football, basketball, and hockey are about to start up. Don't let the O's ruin your day.

If this is the new Nick....I wouldn't give him more than 2M. McLouth has played better.

I hope the Ravens beat em again. I think they will.

Davis needs to start pounding the ball again for them to have any hope of reaching Oct.

I'll live with zero homers from Davis for the rest of the season if he could get a hit during every at-bat. Obviously, that's impossible; the point is simply that this team's OBP is so low (11th in the AL since the all-star break!) that I would be willing to sacrifice some power for it.

 

[NJBuckO's]

Yeah, either way, though he needs to hit another 8-10 hrs I believe to really propel them. These guys need to start putting together some big innings quick.

On a side note... given the second-half stats, one might be able to make a case for this lineup:

Hardy SS (2nd highest OBP among starters after Davis)
Machado 3B
Davis 1B
Jones CF
McLouth LF
Morse RF
Flaherty 2B
Wieters C
Roberts DH

(Yes, Markakis does get benched-- his second-half OPS is 0.579.)

 

[NJBuckO's]

Unwillingness as a team to draw walks really hurts them.

Last 14 runs scored over last 4 games have all come via HR's.

I don't mind if we win.....

 

[NJBuckO's]

They deserve everything they get for not blowing these types of games open.

 

[Youngfan9886]

I would make this Miguel's last inning. No reason to send him out there tired and ruin a good start. He's back under 4.00 ERA, good #4 starter, fringe #3 for next year.

Yaaaaaayyyy..lol
