Some other notes there. Astros were fielded up the middle... SS and 2B playing near center. So? A situational hitter back in the day would have seen that DEF setup and slapped a dribbler down the 3b line.

Cowser swinging on a first pitch strike. Takes the next pitch, 1-1. Swinging on a marginal 2nd strike- fouled off. 1-2. Took on a low pitch. 2-2. Up the middle DP. Ends inning. Bad luck. He swung on strikes.

Same inning - one down, man on first and second after a hit. Cowser up. THESE are the situations we need.

Top of the 6th and Alonso took a walk. Basallo struck out looking next. Strike outs have to come down.

That's only like the 9th or 10th game they've won when scoring 3 runs or less. 9-10/35. If they can manage to get the runs scored per game up and correspondingly the runs allowed per game down from 4.99 to maybe 3.99, they should win a lot more. This is going to take SP's staying in the game...

I have no idea how to really look it up, but this has to be some kind of MLB record for TJ's over 3 seasons for one team. Horrible.

I really think Hyde got a raw deal in the end. He was part of that whole Cub renaissance before they won the Series. And then they won the Series. I liked him, but some of the pitching moves he made too late drove me insane. :) If we win 4 in a row, our only hope after is that it opens the...

I'm not sure about the coaching staff, but I'm not sure about the players either.

I'll keep watching because I'm a glutton for punishment! :) I keep trying to watch other teams play like on MLB or the Nats, when I find them, but there is A LOT of BAD baseball being played across the league. I used to really like NL ball, but since the DH change it's just all the same.

Now we're losing games where we score 7 runs?! We're in trouble. The OF is terrible and our IF DEF is terrible too. This is not fun baseball to watch. This reminds me of the early 2000 teams...

Maybe one, but it doesn't really feel like it.

It's a crap shoot if they score 5. If they score less than 5 they lose. If they score 6 or more it's a win. It's pathetic we have to hope for 5 runs to even have a chance.

8 runs and we win yesterday. Reds scored 5. Our SP has been better over the past 3 games, all wins. Going for 4 today. Have to score 5+ to win. 6+ makes it even more likely.

I'm officially convinced we're snake-bit with trades and FA signings.

Bobby Bonilla was at the game yesterday. He was the "Who is the Oriole?" segment for yesterday's game. ;) I wonder how many other players there are that are still getting paid like this. There have to be others, but certainly not with the same crazy numbers as these two. Bonilla signed that...

We can't seem to win 4 in a row, but un-remarkably, lol, we can seem to drop 4 in a row.

Another 4 run game we lose. I was watching the game at Theisman's in Alexandria yesterday for a little while. Guy saw my O's hat; he was from Balto too. When the Nats scored their fifth run I said the O's were going to lose. Then they scored their 6th and I said the fat lady just sang. lol...

...another 3 or fewer runs scored game that we lose. Why in the world was Blaze running on the 1 out grounder to shallow SS in the 9th?!!!!! That is Little League taught - you're staying put when the ball is fielded and only taking off at the throw to first, if at all. Literally the next...

Don't go to a Divisional game. The day after opening day is the best! The hype is great and the game too for Opening Day, but there's no crowd fighting or amateur hour drunkenness the day after.

The high run games we've had, where it's been a blowout win, have really skewed the stats where is seems like we should be winning more game because of runs scored. But @ravenslord , you're right. The DEF makes an error, often with two outs, giving teams bonus time and they capitalize on it...
