Offense not pitching will doom this team

As the races start to tighten up and the pressure builds, the Orioles lack of plate discipline will be their Achilles heel. So few quality at bats and a total lack of cerebral approaches at the plate it'll be our downfall. I didn't see AJ's first ab but he's seen 2 pitches in his last two ABs and swung at pitchers pitches both times. Maddening

So, an inability to very quickly discern a Major League ball from a strike and act accordingly is a sign of being a dullard?

Just like last yeaf the second half the whole team were scared to get a clutch hit.

They get opposing pitchers on the ropes and they fail to capitalize. Now Manny has

been striking out a lot with men scoring position. The O's could let the Yankees back

in the race. Just what the media wants Yankees, Red Sox rivary. I feel sick to watch

it.

I'm sure even the 1927 Yankees had stretches where they looked bad.

The offense struggled at time earl on and was bad in a trip to La and Houston. Kim was that inserted in lineup and then the offense turned it around slightly after. I think it is a part of the problem now that and Machado struggled at same time. We need to get Kim and Manny going. He is in that same slump not driving it to right.

Why would the offense be pitching?

This reminds of many years ago when someone posted a thread "What happens if Arrieta is hot in spring training?" which I said "Then I will have some serious questions about by sexuality."

    • Gunnar was a rookie getting his feet wet, Hays is a vet. You don’t hear me calling for Holliday to be sent down. 
    • Obviously. I’m only saying that Hyde clearly cares about getting Hays ABs. He doesn’t come into the game yesterday otherwise.    I have more faith in O’Hearn vs. the LHP than the current version of Hays and would have preferred O’Hearn to hit in that spot considering we were down a run and he’d be getting another at bat later anyway. 
    • This has happened to him at least a handful of times, and the take is actually a good thing IMO. Most umpires don't totally whiff like that. Getting outta dodge for a few games should help him a bit.
    • It’s called resting players. The last game Hays had he hit two balls in play with exit velos over 100 mph. We’re like 1/9th of the way through the season. Hays is essentially a platoon OF now while struggling. How many people in this thread wanted to send Gunnar down last April?
    • Fun fact (I know, nothing like Holliday) Rich Dauer was a 1st round pick (24th) from USC 1976 - up for a cup of coffee 4 for 39 .  All singles 1977 - Rookie 2B makes the team.  Thru May.  1 for 41 with 1 RBI and 1 run scored. June - 21 games. .357 average .958 OPS The moral of this story.  Baseball is a very funny game.  Earl Weaver stuck with a kid with 1/10 of the talent of Jackson Holliday.   
    • Does anyone know if Zach Hample was at the game yesterday.  I know he's chasing Holidays first HR ball but just saying.......
    • Suarez is the same guy that gave up 5 runs in 4.1 innings to Scranton/Wilkes Barres on April 12th and 5 earned runs in 5 innings to Durham on March 31st.     The Twins have the 28th best offense in baseball right now with several players on the IL.    Love what Suarez did yesterday but consistency start to start has not been his M.O. this spring.  Hope for the best but know the worst might happen.
