West coast game tonight...pretty sure I'll be the only one watching unless some of y'all are staying up late. Really need this one. Hopefully Hammel comes out and gives us 7 strong innings at least.

I'll stay up as much as I can. Hammel should have a solid game, well he better vs this lineup and in this park. But Seager can have a good game while we still win.

UGH...welcome to Safeco field. Davis hits the top of the wall with a drive. That bat made that 15 rows deep sound. No dice in the cave.

Mark Reynolds might as well get fat again. At least he hit a ton of home runs last year. He is useless this year.

[abdcskins]

Mark "Strike Out" Reynolds.

Mark "Strike Out" Reynolds.

The guy sure doesn't make a pretty strikeout. He just guesses out there.

[Hersh]

I can't figure out why the O's have not brought up Lew Ford from Norfolk. I know he's 35, but in 39 games he's batted .351. Might as well see if he can help out here. Can't be worse than some of the current .200 hitters on this team.

[abdcskins]

Seriously. Swing really hard and whiff. Every single time.

Nice strike em out throw em out there. So nice to have a catcher who can actually gun people out at second.

‎"Bases Loaded, 3-0 count, no outs. Reynolds at the plate, here comes the pitch, annnddd he strikes out into the triple play."

I think Ramon Hernandez cared about defense for like 6 weeks. So there's that.

[Hersh]

Now if Davis hits it off the wall again we will at least get one run out of it. Seriously lack of speed currently in the lineup. We need Markakis back asap.


Edit: or he can just crush it way out of the park.....WOW!!!!!!

BOOM. That was the one we're looking for.

[abdcskins]

Davis smashed that.

2 out rally started by the Thome single.

[Fight4RGIII]

The Deputy murdered that ball. Too bad the Sheriff of Swattingham is still batting after him.

[Hersh]

I really hate that the O's didn't play small ball with Andino just now. I don't get not moving the runner over when we are struggling so much to score runs. Executing the small things like a sacrifice can build confidence.
