I'm thinking about doing some more research concerning "laughers" (i.e., how many games has every .500 or above team won by a comfortable margin, as compared to the Orioles). Not sure what should qualify as a comfortable margin, though. Maybe four runs or more.

Just curious because it feels like every game is a desperate struggle, regardless of the opponent and the outcome.

It wasn't the club. It was two pitchers who should not be in tha majors. Unfortunately - one of them cost a number four draft pick and has been given the Jake Arrieta chance. The other was a Duquette and John Russell vapor-lock.

The Orioles have not played well here all season, not just today.

Rays have scored 23 runs this series. Orioles have scored more than 12 runs one time in a home series... And predictably, the Orioles offense is going to go down without a fight. Really starting to question whether this team even wants to win because it sure doesn't seem like it.

Probably 5 runs. Tying run could never come to the plate when winning by 5.

      IMHO this is a mistake. Use the Akin option. 3.44 ERA in 17 appearances, not to mention a minor league no-hitter.

      Truth is, they’ve already made some adjustments.  He’s only started 35 of 43 games, and he’s batted in the bottom third of the order in more than half those starts.

      The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today.

      Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers.

      Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too.

      Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.
