I haven't seen so many 0-2 counts and runners left on base than I have recently. Chris Davis and Adam Jones need to start taking some pitches. they swung at the first pitch every time today and each landed in an 0-2 count each time. Take some pitches and get some walks. Geesh, haven't you watched Moneyball? It's about getting on base. Of course, the Red Sox lead the league in OBP and are second in walks. Guess who's first? The A's. Both teams that were featured in Moneyball. The Mariner's pitcher couldn't even find the strike zone today.

I think Machado, Jones and Davis have carried this team so much, that they have basically ran out of gas all at the same time. The rest of the lineup is "decent" but they just can't produce as much. The starting pitching isn't great and we are in August and still can not find a 5 starter. The Bullpen is shaky, but we can argue that's a result of being overworked because of bad starts.

Well this is what the Orioles get for making the Ravens play their season opener on the road.
