Nationals @ Orioles, Game 1

[skippy1999]

The pitch out of the ballpark was not a bad pitch?    Really?

I think Ray said that too, that the batter reached in there for it or something.

How many other ballparks is that a homer in? Regardless, we're gonna get swept. Might as well pack it in and just go on the All Star break already.

If it's a homerun, it's not a good pitch.

Again, you can blame Roark but the offense scored 2 runs in a game started by a pitcher with a 5+ ERA.  That is inexcusable.  Because this offense can't score, it makes the weakness of the bullpen even more lethal.

And Bryce was crap again tonight.

Small sample size JH and Uncle Ray.    Let's not try to build Desmond up.

And yet they try, time and time again

I understand that they and FP want him to succeed but sometime  ....   I get the feeling sometime that if they wish hard enough, it will happen.    They all wanna click their heels three times and make Desmond hit.

The most disturbing part about losing this series is that coming out of the ASB we get the Kershaw and Greinke and then the Mets.  We'll be comfortably in second (or third) by the end of that Mets series.

ugh wow. It is about to get worse. We needed to pick up these wins vs the terrible Orioles' pitching staff.

The Mets pitching staff is locking it down. Syndergaard was dominant tonight.

[PC]

Our pitching was fine.  WE SCORED TWO RUNS OFF TILLMAN TONIGHT!!!  There is no pitcher bad enough that this offense can't make him look good.  That animal doesn't exist.

Our pitchers would have had to give up ZERO OR ONE run to win this game.  The Mets pitchers gave up two runs tonight.

Again, Bryce was crap tonight.

[sportsfan882]

The bullpen is a major problem.

[PC]

FP and Gary Thorne do the game tomorrow for FOX so we get a mixed booth whether we wanted it or not.

I am sure this has been mentioned but the game might have been lost when Lobaton did not bunt with  men on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Hits into a DP. What was Williams thinking?  Deflating.

I'm not watching any more of this series. I can't take constantly losing to the Os.

Maybe it will rain these next several days and we'll all get lucky...

[GburgNatsFan]

I just... I dunno. I would rather lose to St Louis than to Baltimore. Maybe because I live in Maryland.
