Braves Bash Berken, Birds

The Birds dropped their third straight game, falling to the Atlanta Braves 7-2 on Friday night at Camden yards.

What has happened to this team? They can't score a run to save their life...it's been over two weeks since a player other than Luke Scott or Nolan Reimold has gone deep...the team-wide offensive slump is getting old and frustrating.

Who's to blame? We're only in the first half of June and O's fans are already calling for manager Dave Trembley's head...and why not? Apparently the skipper called a meeting before the game...yet the end result was the same...another loss.

Both the Braves (30-30) and the O's (25-36) knocked out 12 hits on Friday night...but the Birds managed just two runs...the team left the bases loaded THREE times...simply inexcusable. Overall, the O's left 13 men on base, and went just 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

It's hard to believe that two weeks ago I stated what an exciting time it was to be an O's fan...just three games under .500...now the team is the laughing-stock of the league.

The O's are a better team than this...something has to be done to shake things up...

Rich Hill takes the mound for the Birds Saturday night...Go O's!

O' Yeah...
  • One piece of good news...every O's starter had at least one hit in the game...they just couldn't get the big hit when it mattered
  • More bad news...it's been two weeks (Friday, May 29) since the O's have scored more than four runs in a game
