Just seems to me the pressure is starting to get to them. They're trying to do too much and it doesn't look like they are having much fun out there, unlike last year where they were loose and having fun.

Last season, they weren't expected to do anything. If they didn't make the playoffs, so what-as long as they finished over 500, they accomplished something. Look how they hit against the Yankees in the playoffs, though-there was some pressing in those games, particularly game five.

This season, they didn't enter the season as the joke team of the division. They had a playoff appearance to live up to. Since they gave away game two in Kansas City, again, which could've given them a six-game winning streak, they have been going downhill. All aspects of the team had had problems.

I agree here i feel it certain member who can get away with it. If i say anything bad u get OFFNY and his band of people coming after me. Then i see some posters that are long time members or plus members say the same thing and nothing happens with them.

If someone is a frequent customer at restaurant and tips well they will be shown more leniency than some drunk clown who just showed up. I'm not a paying member at this site and I'm happy they let me post for free. I don't expect equal treatment to paying customers.

Didn't he blame Clemens for getting him involved? He's as dirty as any of them, but some guys just don't get the same stigma as others.

Yea, I can agree he's just as dirty behind it all, but what I meant is that he projects a public persona that is very different from the other two. But maybe that isn't the reason at all, crafty lefty.

And yet you conduct yourself in a way that makes it appear that you are a supporting member. Thanks.

      Goes right back to Ted Williams. Get a good pitch to hit and drive it.

      There was an attempt to debunk this article in the other O'Hearn thread where it's the OP, but in it O'Hearn explains that his efforts to change launch angle and severely limit when he swings underlie the improved performance since coming to the Orioles.

      I'm thinking that Suarez can be that extra high leverage arm the O's need.  Someone who can take some of the closing pressure off Kimbrel.  No, Hyde, the closer doesn't have to get every save.  I hate when Hyde uses every high leverage arm in a single game then the next game you just have the B squad.

      Would have been nice for his campaign if he had been allowed to go 8 or even go for the shutout.

      He looked much more pull happy when he was up, with bigger leg lift. In the minors he seem to handle pitches away much better, taking them to left and left center.

      I've got to think that as long as we keep winning we trade for some bullpen help.  Kimbrel is fine and it's good that he's a vet that figure stuff out in between outings, but he's 35 and can't be relied on for nearly the same workload as we leaned on Felix for.

      Ever since the discussions of Bradish and Means going on the IL and getting a late start to their seasons, I have felt that Irvin would stick as a starter.  He is more suited to be in the rotation than he is to be a relief pitcher. And this past 4 weeks he is showing why.  He can give you 180-190 innings this season if you keep putting confidence in him.  It would be nice to have 2 decent lefties in our rotation with 1 RHP sandwiched in between them. But truth be told I don't think John Means can last more than 2 months before some type of ailment nags his body.
