I thought it was just me...

Yeah..."unlikeable" is a little much. Unwatchable...uninspiring...unappealing....I could go with those...

Yup...and your 2 veterans with 0 and 1 out have LOUSY ABs.

This. We need those guys back asap.

Rogers is HORRIBLE! And don't you forget it!

Seems like a dumb question with a cookie-cutter response to the dumb question. What does "not on the same page" mean...if that was in fact the question?

The Rangers went 4-16 in a 20 game stretch from August 16 - Sept 8 last season. This gives me some hope that the O's can find some magic by getting some people back and just turning things around.

I would also say the O's have been injury filled since that time as well. Don't get me wrong, they still have been mediocre, but I don't believe that Hyde "lost" the team.

Rinse, wash, repeat...

Fixed that for ya...

Nice article. When the Orioles picked him, I have no doubt that they knew his flaws but still felt his talent was too good to pass up with the #22 slot. Let's hope he figures it out. Heck, how many guys drafted at 1/22 make it anyway?

Has that changed?

I can't believe that any pitching staff could give up 11 hits to this sad sack team.

I don't get to see many games, but from what I've seen, he looks like he could develop into a very good 2B.

Yup. I would have bet AGAINST him still being in the league!

We need Ryan McKenna back and put him in the lineup every day!

Yup...they are 18-18 in the second half of the season. The definition of "average".

What is a "gutting" coach?

I've got nothing against Terry Crowley. I think insulting the current Executive VP is a pretty dumb thing to do, but I don't think anyone will remember it a week from now. I grew up watching the mid-70's teams and want to know what Terry Crowley did to warrant inclusion in the O's HOF? Seems like a stretch to me.

Agreed. The combination of a bad stretch for Burnes and the lack of viable starters/relievers is killing them (and Elias). Not much you can do when you've lost a large portion of your pitching staff.

Well, when your ace goes out and throws 3 out of 4 pretty poor performances, especially when your team needs you to step up, you may have this look.

And he brings it on himself with the stupid walk.

Don't feel good at all about this series.

Yup. Had the guy 0-2 and throws three non-close pitches.

Dang...I was just looking at Slater's numbers on BB Ref wondering if he had any power at all! I flipped back and saw that he does!
