10 strikouts.. lok

This is realllly embarrassing!! Hyde needs to give them the lollygagging speech lol

7 hitters faced , 5 strikeouts for our Murderer’s Row

When Ryan McKenna is your five hitter in a rubber game against the Yankees .. well that’s all you need to know .. this may be the worst offensive Os lineup I have ever seen in the 58 years I have been watching

The likelihood of needing elbow surgery is high

This is why you trade guys like this. How many times does this organization have to learn this the hard way? Mullins needs to go as soon as he gets hot. Mancini should have gone preCA. But no we will hold and hold till they are worth nothing.

I think Earl was less analytic with his early 1969-70-71 teams than with his latter teams of Lolo and Roenicke etcc Thr position players of 1969 team averaged more than 150 games except for at catcher where Elrod and Etch platooned .. the pitchers pitched a lot of complete games … there was not much matchup stuff going on Earl was good at getting his bench guys enough at bats to stay fresh like Rettenmund and Salmon and Dave May but he was not sending them in for Frank or Brooks or Boog etc

Talent wins games … period. Managers at best help each player to maximize their potential and understand their role. Earl was the best at getting this out of each person on the team but when he came back and had little talent, then he made no difference I could have managed the 1969-1970 Orioles and the outcome would have been the same Well …maybe I would have kicked the Mets butts.. lol

The history of ML pitching demonstrates that one of the most important keys to success is finding the right place for your arms to succeed. Failed starters that became excellent bullpen guys included Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage in 1976, Gossage joined the starting rotation, going 9-17 with a 3.94 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 29 starts. He would never start another major league game., Mariano Rivera (short time in starter role under Buck), Joe Nathan who started in SF early in his career, Eddie Watt started 13 games in 1966 and never started another, Jose Mesa bad starter, good reliever, Jason Isringhausen, … etc You also had the guys who were elite starters and then became elite closers like Eck and Smoltz

And whenever there were RISP those pitchers turned it up just a little bit and struck us out at will and we were exposed as the not good hitters we are

If this team as currently constituted plays all of 2022 we will be fortunate to win 50 games

We are cooking with gas at 5 for 54 with RISP

Charlie Lau is turning over in his grave

If you can’t hit, then stick your head in front of it .. suicide squeeze .. something different other than just watching these strikeouts because all hitters are taught anymore is how to elevate their swings

Done .. night …. terrible, terrible baseball

Going to K the side

Just frigging terrible .. Hyde needs to go

This team needs to learn how to bunt

This team excels at the rally killing bases loaded strikeout

Outstanding game boys!!! 2-0 .. Yess!!!

Actually I do trust the process Elias et al have done … but this team had better have at least some prospects contributing in a major way by the end of this season or I may start to wonder

Brutal start to the season.. whew .. we have been awful thus far. Offensively in particular.

My only hope for Odor this year is he punches another Blue Jay in the mouth.

Can’t use MLB. TV because here in Appalachia, 300 miles from Baltimore and where everyone is a Reds or Braves or Nats fan, it is Os “territory” with “blackout” and so when my cable dropped MASN 2 years ago… zip Os since except when I am in SC or elsewhere on the road .. lol

Yes, we are the first tiebreaker
