Normally I don't accuse a team of choking in the playoffs, rather, it might just be a bad small sample...but...

The O's offense is horribly choking. They cannot knock home ANY of these runs in easy situations.

They're not even choking because they're not knocking in runs, they just have awful approaches at the plate. Swing at anything and everything. Especially Adam Jones, I would not have given him the contract extension he got.

Epic collapse by the Reds. All they had to do was win 1 out of 3, with all 3 being at home.

All 3 were at home which makes the collapse even more epic.

It's kind of amazing this series isn't over with how bad these Orioles hitters have looked throughout this series.

Now Showalter will bring in Johnson to blow it again.

Dammit A's down big to Tigers and Verlander is pitching a shutout... I have a strange dislike for Detroit

Why wouldn't he? He's been the best closer in baseball this year and it's the 13th inning

I've never minded Detroit. I like them more because Manoman is cool but then I read TSE's posts and like them less.

All four DS's go the distance.

This has been some kind of postseason and we're not even half way through it.

If you would've told me by far the best hitter for the Orioles in this series would be Nate McLouth, I would've laughed at you and spit in your face.

Detroit just has to much fire power. Then the A's had to face Verlander, which he is pretty much unhittable.
