True. It's not the average that has dipped that bothers me, it's just his approach which shouldn't really change even if he is slumping.

He is cocky as hell and thinks he can hit anything. No sense in getting to angry over it.

Pretty quiet in here tonight.

Apparently people do things on Friday nights that don't involve watching baseball on television while playing on the Internet.

...And another quick inning. Hammel is like, "I just sat down!"

Davis' bat speed is really worrying me. He has swung through at least 5 fast balls tonight, and I honestly can't remember his last hit off a fastball.

Could be one of those things where the whole team slumps at the same time. It always happens.

Davis just can't hit the fastball. Teams know this, he's seeing a lot less breaking stuff.

Crush has been working on hitting off speed. But if I'm the opposing pitcher, I don't get predictable with fastballs. Chris will feast on them if he knows they're coming...

What is that, another 9 pitch inning? This is a pretty pathetic offensive performance, especially considering his Archer got hammered his last outing. 2 hits and about 80 pitches through 7 is terrible.

Yes but if we can figure out how to win, that would be good.

He's got great stuff and did well in his 4 starts in his little cameo last season for the Rays. I know you're joking but I'm not letting the fact he had a 11.25 next to his name due to one start make me think that he's gonna be easy to hit.
Hammel looks very hittable tonight...
It's gonna be a good night, tonight, friends.

Not trying to pat myself on the back but....well wait, yes I am.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      They still need to win a few games to get there. I still don’t understand why people are acting like that is so certain (quoting you but not referring to you, per se).    3-8 in the last 11. 11 games left. In all seriousness, what makes anyone think we can even go 3-8 in the next 11?  We are bad in every single phase of the game and we’re playing against teams who have everything to play for (other than SF today, and they’ve pretty easily handled us this week already).    These last two games against SF, especially last night, have convinced me they’re going to fully blow this. We’ve already shown that Detroit can handle us. Probably going to lose to Webb today. Then it’s NY in NY. When is the last time we beat the Yanks in a late season series that mattered to both teams?  Ever? This team certainly isn’t the one to do it. And then it’s do or die in MIN. Anybody believe we can take 2/3 there?  I just don’t see a path to more than three wins, and even getting three doesn’t seem remotely certain. I think we’ll be lucky to win one game each of these last three series. Maybe that’s enough, but I’m far from sure they can even do that.    What’s the counterpoint to this?  Injury returns?  Too late for that IMO. Just start playing better?  What would make anyone believe that’s going to happen after 3.5 months of bad baseball? For real, someone tell me what they’re seeing that makes them think even 3-8 is going to happen in the next 11.

      O’s look done

      We traded far too much for what we got in return IMO. You can't totally judge trades this early but as it stands now, Elias gets a well deserved D for his trade deadline performance. I've said this before. He's done a fantastic job bringing this club back to relevancy. I just question some of his roster construction and trade decisions.

      Since July 1st, the Orioles are 31-37 and since the Trading deadline when Elias was supposed to make the team better they've gone 19-24 (.441). Now grant it the team lost Westburg and Grayson as well as Eflin for a little bit, but what can't be swept under the rug is that Elias traded a decent part of his minor league league prospects and the team has done worse. The acquisitions of Rogers, Jimenez and Soto have not improved the team. Eflin has kept them from being even worse and we have him for next year, and the same goes for Dominguez. Hopefully Soto will figure it out or Elias wasted two pitching prospects (Chace being probably being the one with the most upside of any pitcher traded).

      First off, welcome to the Hangout. It's hard to see this team doing anything in the playoffs as they've pretty much imploded this September when we hoped they would turn it back on. I mean, we never know, but unless a miracle turn around occurs, whoever gets the Orioles in the first round is going to have it fairly easy.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By EricK · Posted

      The 1984-2024 O's could tie the 1903-1943 St Louis Browns for one of the top 10 all time World Series appearance droughts.  Think about it that way.  It's been a long time.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_postseason_droughts
