You have to give Cole Irvin some credit here. Picks his crap INF defense up 2 innings in a row. Need more of that type of fortitude.

Agree some of this is on the manager to challenge the players. Do you have what it takes? Every game matters now.

Just does not bode well in crunch time. Vets making boneheaded plates. Rookies not being ready. Bad combination.

Team really does like to implode at times.

Lineup at bats still not consistent and hard to navigate. Guys lack patience like they want to get the game over. You have to grind these at bats out. Dodgers outclassing Os in every way - sending a message that Os aren’t quite there yet.

Pitching coaches, catchers and pitchers should be chatting about this. Alex Fast ⁦‪@AlexFast8‬⁩ Orioles relievers have the worst wOBA in 0-2 and 1-2 counts in the league. Love this team to death but that's not a stat you want to be first in.

Agree on Cowser at bats. Dodgers turned DPs got DP balls tonight when they needed it tonight. Os didn’t.

That Baker GS was a deflator. They still haven’t countered it.

Postgame prediction. Hyde “the highlight of the game for me was Vespi. Came in a tough spot and kept us in the game giving us a chance to win.”

Hyde going with another unreliable arm in a key moment. The reality is Elias needs to find at least 2 great BP arms.

Offense is all about having consistent good at bats every batter every inning. Dodgers are exceptional at this.

The challenge with this team is they are still so young and inexperienced. Tough call on what and where you add. Can’t depend on Cowser and Westburg being difference makers this year. Adley and Gunnar are still WIP but miles ahead of all other up and coming players.

Walk is better that a DP Cowser is you are going to continually ground out.

Well at least the bases are empty.

Not paying attention to the swing. Someday Adley and pitcher will get this right.

There’s that in game pull power Adley!

Hicks is no Ced in CF but nice to that arm out there.

Yes agree. Discouraging but that’s right.

That’s right he has no business being in the majors. Beyond Bautista, Cano, Baker (most days), Bauman, not reliable. Offense does not provide enough cushion most nights. This team is like the 2014 Royals - constructed to win close games and need more shutdown arms in the Pen.

This is all on Hyde. I’m sorry. Bazardo had no business pitching the 9th.

Game is important and sweep is important.

You can’t give a team that is down life.

You would think but not given how bazardo pitches. Maybe 8-0.

Bazardo is cannon fodder no business being in this game.

I mean this is firing offense. Does Hyde have another angle here. Not smart. And you run the risk of draining your bullpen.
