So 2 average pitchers just shut our bats down.

In the playoffs we will see better pitching than that. Please say something to cheer me up.

It's two games. We were missing three of our bats.

[Finisher]

Kim was out, Davis was out, Machado slumping ..

[LookitsPuck]

My gut is that it's just a cold spell considering the O's have traditionally hit Eovaldi and Nova pretty well. I wonder if it's a scenario where these average pitchers are just strong out of the ASB.

Interesting fact:

No team has ever had two poor offensive games back-to-back and then somehow rallied to make the playoffs.

Wait that sounds like something incredibly sarcastic and made up to make a point.

hmmmm

Nothing more to say than has been said. Teams get hot and cold. We can beat any pitcher on a given day. Have you forgotten that we faced Scherzer, Verlander and Price in 2014 and won all three?

Cheer yourself up. It's two games. Learn something about baseball.

[Spy Fox]

Tyler Wilson threw 8 shutout innings against the Sox a few weeks ago. They'll face better pitching than that in the playoffs. Currently we are all scared of the Sox. Chances are the O's will roar back sometime soon and again feel like a fearsome offense.

Ah, it's been more than just two games. Not too long ago, didn't we have like a 6 1/2 lead and were threatening to run away with the east? Now we only have a half game lead?

2 avg pitchers and the bird flu.

hmmmm

I double checked you are absolutely right!! Could not believe it. It's over.

Davis was hitting like crap before he got sick. Is everybody else sick too?

[DrungoHazewood]

Maybe someone could link to the meltdowns at SOSH after the Sox were held to one run or fewer in games started by Drew Smyly (5.64 ERA), Matt Moore (4.33), and Tyler Wilson (5.22, currently in the minors).

[Ori-Al]

We have now faced four straight struggling starters, and cured them.

[CanadianOriole]

This whole series was a loooooooonnnnnngggg term con to get the Yankees to buy at the deadline when they should be selling to keep them bereft of young talent and saddled with expensive, declining veterans forever.
