must sweep series game 3

[Youngfan9886]

Hopefully Boston is demoralizing the yankees for their next series with us.

Is it overreacting to say that these guys need to be traded in the off-season (because it seems that low OBP is an issue for the entire team)?

I think the Orioles need a hitting coach that can teach these guys the mechanics of hitting. How to become more patient at the plate, and how to shrink the strike zone instead of expand the strike zone.

I also believe the Orioles need a second baseman for the future. And they need a catcher that can hit in the .270 range.

This team needs to have the ability to string hits together, get on base, extend innings and make opposing pitchers work.

6 IP, 2 ER, and 99 pitches... would you simply let Chen keep the quality start by NOT letting him pitch in the 7th inning (since we can't afford to give up even one run with the way that this team is hitting)?

Yes, I would pull him. He has a tendency to give up the hr when he gets tired and has been struggling recently. Let him keep the good feelings he's got after this start and use the bullpen that was rested yesterday.

 

[CamdenFan]

only ones that have that is nate , nolan , nick and brob

Valencia is quick on the base pads.

 

[Youngfan9886]

And that's why you bring in McLouth. Good move Buck.

 

[calfan810]

Ball just cost us a run...I guarantee mcclouth doesn't score

 

[tedman2012]

need to pinch hit here

 

[CamdenFan]

Pull Morse, and Nate comes through. Nate competes. He keeps his head in the game, all the time. Just remember last year in the post season. He was the only guy that brought his bat.

 

[tedman2012]

dam nate you don't do that

he had his head up his ass on that play

0-10

 

[Youngfan9886]

Yea that was bad baserunning. But he was trying to get to 3rd in the hopes we get a wild pitch since he knows we weren't getting a hit.

 

[tedman2012]

come on 3 more outs guys

should have just stole third . either way we wouldn't have scored that inning anyway

 

[calfan810]

I think this team is just insane...do the same thing over and over and expect different results

 

[Youngfan9886]

should have just stole third

Yep.

I'm really tempted to correct that to "this organization"... and then Chen was pulled. Good move.

 

[tedman2012]

o day i hope he is a good oday

Or Machado should have stolen home earlier. Normally, that's suicide, but since our hitters weren't doing anything... :rollseyes:

 

[Youngfan9886]

Honestly, I might have PH Wieters for Snyder there. I know its his day off but he'll get plenty of time off when the season is over.
