Holy Mother of God, that team can rake.
The difference to me this year more so than in 2012 and 2013 is Markakis (who you guys know I love)
I used to call Markakis a 15 million dollar singles hitter, but he's hitting with much more pop, the kid behind the plate, is going to be a gold glover, and he's got just as much pop as Weiters does.

Davis is only hitting about .214, but he'll have hit 30 + dingers, even without Machado, Flats can hit, Delmon Young's problems are with his glove (and head) he's always had a good stick.

Cruz and A Jones crush LHP.

I always say good pitching shuts down good hitting, not sure in there is an AL staff that can shut down these Birds.

[innovation]

yes but can they play October small ball?

staff isn't threatening.....I do enjoy watching this club slug though

[TonyTall]

get a friend

[KRIT]

Best offense in MLB. Starting pitching needs to get better. Bullpen is very good. Oh and they have a great manager in Bucky.

[Bostongambler]

Need the pitchers come playoff time.

Whats with this term rake. I hear it all over and i feel like its new, is it new? Its prob been around for ages and im just a square, but its seems really popular all teh sudden. I like it, might start using it more but i feel like its this years hot sports talk term.

But yeah, theyre good, the O's. Ill root for them i guess.

Davis at 214? i seen his last at bat, he is below the mendoza line, now at 196......... But i agree with you, this balty team is hittting well. nice 8th inning covered the ml and rl for me......Britton finally gave up a run or else my under 8 was money to, but ill settle for the push on the total.

[Mase of Base]

"Flats can hit" Is that Ryan Flaherty? You high!?

Great pen, nor sold on their starters but they've been good lately. Every time I see Zac Britton up to close I'm sure he's going to implode but he blows pitches by everyone week in week out, guys throws serious heat but jeez he could give up some runs in recent seasons.

Rake?

That term came along with the term 'walk off'

[RavensFan2k3]

Yup yup, if they can, gotta like our chances

[freeVICK]

Didn't pineda just shut them down today? Lucky for you, he was on a pitch count

[Big Bear]

There are many successful winning formulas in baseball. The Red Sox won last year without small ball.

most importantly it's all about who gets hot in October.

That pitching staff is alright with
Chen
Gonzalez
Gausman

wrong, you are!

[stealthyburrito]

markakis is quietly on his way to 3,000 hits.

[Kopi]

markakis/jones/machado is almost as scary as reyes/cabrera/bautista.

Spoken like a true Yankee fan, however Balt. 8-3 against the mediocre Yanks this season.

Enjoy your moral victory, I'm sure the O's are enjoying their actual victories.

[Ratpack]

Kluber shuts them down tomorrow like he's done everyone else

[jjgold]

Balt has as a good as a chance as anyone else to go to WS

[mitch51]

I've cashed more tickets on Baltimore than any other team i can think of. They have treated me well.
