And I called an alarmist for saying that. This team under achieves on the road. Its just that simple.The only winning team with a losing road record. Thats a fact.

I keep thinking their going to bust out, law of averages, too much talent to play like this but they haven't busted out and I'm getting very concerned.

Guy is throwing 85 MPH down and away? This is just a thought, but how about instead of rolling over it for a ground ball, you wait on it and hit it hard to the opposite field? When he makes a mistake up and in, that's when you turn on it.

The way this team is approaching hitting right now, the entire team's weakness is in that exact spot. Same thing yesterday.

My, how my psyche has changed from earlier in the year. I was fully confident in our offense in these spots. Now if we get behind, I expect us to lose in excruciating fashion.

The Tigers, Mariners, Astros, Orioles,Pirates, and Dodgers all fit that so not sure what fact you are using.

      That joke was probably in a lot of people’s heads but those people decided not to go there.  We’ll give you a mulligan. P.S. Not for nothing but if I’m walking up behind a teammate with a bat in his hand I’m making enough noise until he looks and sees me there.

      Guys like Bradfield and Beavers aren't as valuable as Ortiz was last year. Right now we have 3 prospects rated at or better (and they are all better) than Ortiz last year: Mayo, Basallo, and Kjerstad. Can we afford to deal one of those three for another rental TOR this off-season?   As of today, I wouldn't feel great about that.

      I don't think those guys are going to get you anything near TOR. I don't think we can afford to annually give up a couple top 100 prospects for a rental TOR- at least not yet. Plenty were willing to part w Cowser last year, but how would we feel about our OF situation this year, and going forward, without Cowser in the mix?

      Idiots looking for attention on social media are claiming Mullins did it on purpose.  Where are we at in society?  Also, @Roy Firestone attempt at a joke just now is pathetic. Hoping for the best for Jorge - if it is a concussion, they are never fun (I've had way too many).  Also, hope Cedric is able to move past this freak accident and focus on getting his hitting going.  We need him.

      That on deck swing that Mullins hit Mateo with... was probably Mullins best contact with a bat  on the day.

      I think the Ubaldo Jimenez contract is still the largest the O's have ever given out to a free agent starter.   Personally, I think it makes more sense to spend big on an elite free agent starter than on elite position players.   Of course they have to be cautious in how and who they identify as elite, but I think they should bid for Burnes, and not just a token bid -- a real bid.
