    Orioles Drop Below .500

    May 7, 8:03 AM
    by Pete Sabatini, Baltimore O's Examiner
     
     

    AP Photo: Torres Throws In The Third"One-run losses have a way of snowballing. They stay with you. They stay underneath your skin." 

    Trembley’s words rang true on Tuesday as the O’s lost their fourth straight game 4-2 against the A’s.  It wasn’t quite the one-run loss, but it sure is feeling like the Birds are caught in a snowball.

    I admittedly rely too much on stats, but it’s hard to ignore the freefall Oriole batting averages are currently in.  Baltimore now ranks twelfth in the AL with a team .246 BA, ahead of only Cleveland and Chicago.

    Burres poured in 5 1/3 innings giving up only 3 earned runs, plus 1 unearned thanks to errors by Torres and Mora in the third.  Albers came out of the pen to relieve Burres and gave a stellar 1 hit performance to finish up the game. 

    With two off days next week, Trembley can take some liberties with pitchers he may have had to hold back otherwise.  That doesn’t mean he can skip Trachsel, unfortunately, but he can use Albers more in relief, which has been the coach’s preference when possible. 

    After Wednesday's matinee in Oakland, the Orioles will be happy to leave California, where they’ve lost 4 of 5, and head to Kansas City for 4 against the Royals.

    (Tuesday Box Score)
