I feel like whenever their batting, they are threatening to score.

They are, because our pitchers refuse to get a 1-2-3 inning! And to heck with that missed strike call-that doesn't mean you throw a hanging slider on the next pitch.

      Elias: It's on me

      By foxfield · Posted

      It is but for the exact same reason we were nervous going into the playoffs.  Everything about the team was different after June.  We literally expected win every series and usually did...and then it stopped.  And for awhile we focused on all of the injuries, but then even the people still here at times stunk.   The question is can they get it back.  I think they can, but even if we never know what happened or not, the team needs to figure it out.  And yes, for us...it will be hard to expect something different until we see it.  I mean, if we win 101 games and take the East, I expect many to still be nervous even if we have a MVP, ROY, CY Young all playing for the home team.

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
