Ryan Flaherty may not have the bat to play as a starter.

Why are you leaving him in to bat with the game on the line? He isn't known to take walks or hit anything but a fastball....

That's all I got.

Let's get 'em tomorrow!

Without Nelson Cruz the team would have 0 XBH, 0 runs, and 2 chances with RISP thanks to an error and a wild pitch. They look absolutely terrible. They look flat and have no life. Tonight's game looked like it should have been played in 6 months, with the O's being clearly out of the playoffs. They looked dead.

Webb looked bad.

I hate Pedroia.

If we can't put up at least a 4 spot it will be an embarassing start for the offense.

Jimenez looked good.

Score some damn runs.

Ehh, Webb deserved better. Horrid throw by Lough. Poor throw by Flaherty.

Jones looked terrible. The offense had a poor strategy. First two innings I think Lackey threw < 20 pitches. Inexcusable.

Lackey had great command tonight, this wasn't one of those nights where we were wailing at 2-0 breaking balls in the dirt.

.

Yesterday, we were undefeated, and in sole possession of first place.

Now, we're nothing more than a mediocre team.

On pace to go 81-81.

Incapable of going on any kind of winning streaks.

Below average defense.

A non-existent offense.

I'm going to watch the final 160 games of the season because I'm not a quitter, but I'm not getting my hopes up, because anyone who is not deaf, dumb, and blind can see the writing on the wall from a mile away.

Every team in the AL East has a loss. And Jimenez has never been good against the Sox.

That said, I am worried about our offense this year, and I was before the season started -- it's been an assumption here that it'll be above average and that isn't a good assumption to make. And if it isn't as good as last year this team doesn't have a chance.

Jimmenz looked good? I am beginning to think we should have kept Feldman and definitely Hammel over this guy. He is a thrower not a pitcher.

I do agree with everything else in your post though, you are spot on. Without Cruz this team wouldn't have scored but one run in two games. That is pretty sorry, I don't care how good Boston's pitching is.

If the move to let McClouth go was his price was too high, I say you get what you pay for, and Lough is no McClouth. He is a bargain bin version and a cheap imitation. This team, other than Cruz is weaker than last year.

Are you kidding me? Feldman over "this guy"? Hammel? Really? Jimenez pitched a pretty good game tonight. Unfortunately, he made a big mistake with a man on base and it cost him a home run and two runs. Don't get too caught up in the fact that his ERA is a 6 right now. It won't be a 6 in a month if he keeps pitching like he did tonight.

I thought he sucked. Giving up multiple two run homers in six innings of pitching is not worthy of the big money he is getting. Heck Gausman or Steve Johnson could probably do that.

      Is Kramer pitching his way out of the playoff rotation?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent.

      Playoff Tickets

      By Moshagge3 · Posted

      I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.

      Magic Number !!

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      Do you need five starters in a playoff series? I think you only need four. In fact, your #1 could pitch three times in a seven-game series. Bumgarten (sp?) used to do that for SF and dominate.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Jim Palmer said John Means pitched himself into the #2 spot of the Playoff rotation. I agree. Especially because it gives us a 1, 2, 3 punch between the contrast mix of Means being a finess LHP compared to the RHP Power Pitcher that Grayson is starting right behind him. 1. Kyle Bradish 2. John Means 3. Grayson Rodriguez 4. Kyle Gibson or Dean Kremer 5. Manager's discretionary choice. (See how the series is going and decide a plan.)   I kind of wish we had another LHP who would be good enough to mix into the rotation because if you can mix thins up successfully it prevents the other team from getting away with being 1 dimensional.

      John Means 2023 (finally)

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      John Means looked like an Ace tonight. I agree with Jim Palmer who said that Means pitched himself into the #2 spot of the playoff rotation.  So the way I currently see the playoff rotation... 1. Bradish 2. Means 3. Rodriguez  4. Gibson/Kremer 5. Kremer/Gibson

      Obviously am happy for the Orioles...but so happy for Means to be back and have a chance to be at his best in such an important situation.  He looked fabulous!
