O's Lose Again in Toronto for 3rd Straight Loss

    Well O's fans, the O's are just not looking good right now. They have now lost three straight and lets see  they are not hitting, not pitching, and not playing defense. These last three games have just been pure ugly.

    Chen early exits against Boston in 7-1 rain shortened loss with 5 walks yet 5 unearned runs due to three errors.   Bud Norris continues his terrible 2015 giving up 9 runs in just over two innings yesterday. Then you have Adam Jones yelling at Jose Batista after he trotted around the bases trailing 11-4. Batista may not be my favorite player in the world but he was thrown behind before he hit the bomb. I would have walked around the bases. Adam should just answer with the bat rather than his mouth. The final last night was 13-6.

    Tonight Ubaldo tried to right the ship. He got some early help from Jimmy Paredes hitting a two run bomb. That was it though. The Jays starter Aaron Sanchez walked 5 hitters and the O's could not take advantage.  The O's loaded the bases with one out in the 6th and also got nothing.  They trailed 4-2 heading to the 9th.  They put the tying runs on first and second with no out.  I thought for sure Caleb Joseph would bunt them into scoring position. Nope, he did not and struck out looking. One batter later Delmon Young grounds into a double play to end the game and send the O's into fourth place.

    There is no timetable on J.J. Hardy as he took a step back in his rehab. We still know nothing definite on Matt Wieters. This is why I wanted Dan Duquette to help this team in the off season coming off a AL East Title. Instead we let three major components go in the mere hopes that Wieters, Machado and Davis return to form.  We see how that is working so far.  Somebody better step up and lead this team before they tailspin out of control. They are lucky that the division is mediocre and they are in the pack.  I know it is only April but to me these games matter as much as September.  Hopefully they can salvage a win before returning home.  Very frustrating series in Toronto. Let's go O's, get this thing right.
