Ugh.  Infield defense was supposed to be an area of improvement and strength.   Lack of focus by Neto.   Whole team lacks focus.  

And Nevin is still unemployed

Canning gutted it out. He is a good #4/5 guy! Kept the team in the game.

The Birds look good for another 104 wins this season.

114 if they were in the same division as the Angels.

[Swordsman78]

Unbelievable.  

[Rollinghard]

Orioles taking batting practice.

They're very smart.

Good pitching change just now.   1 pitch and its 1-9

This is laughable now.

It'll be 10-1 shortly.

Well this inning is certainly going to free up the rest of my afternoon.

I'm going to see a screening of Bull Durham at 4:15 at a revival theater near me.

I love Mike Trout as much as anybody but it’s time to put to bed the “five tool” label.  I have no confidence whatsoever that he is going to throw anybody out.  The throw to the plate was poor and the throw he just made from the gap to the cutoff was weak.

He was never a 5 tool player....

This organization has literally zero idea how to scout relief pitching.

-16 run diff through 2 games (so far)

I just watched the #1 player in Golf, Scotty Scheffler, over shoot a par 3, his comebacker hit the green but rolled off into the lake. He ended up taking a triple bogey on the hole, slipping 3 shots out of the lead. 

Fans here would probably say he is unfocused and sucks. He's in the clubhouse now with a share of the lead in the 3rd round.

I'll give Neto some slack.

O'Neal: "Two big pieces in the bullpen, Garcia and Zuniga, struggling here." Lol at them being "big pieces," unless we're talking about "of shit."

Is that bad?

[Dtwncbad]

9-1 now with nobody out in the 6th.

But Ian Snell sucks because he typically gives up like 2 runs in averaging 5 and 2/3 a start.

You didnt need all those words at the end

Pathetic

His speed gap to gap played his arm up. When you can get to the ball quickly and get a good throw off to hold runners, limit the extra base. It works..
