The Orioles are done

[maybenxtyr]

This team is trash. Plain and simple.

Dumba$$.

[allquixotic]

Time to throw in the towel, tune out, and get ready for a pointless September of coasting along at .400 or so, 5+ games out of contention for the division. It's a choker, folks.

[LookitsPuck]

Definitely a choke job.

This teams problem from the beginning was starting pitching. Losing Tillman is disastrous. Hopefully he was just rusty but I doubt it

[BradyBunch]

This doom and gloom is a joke.. Remember this Astros 4 game swept us in May after they were on a losing streak, then the O's went on a tear over next 30 games (19-11). The good news is we have no west coast trip like Red Soxs and Blue Jays. We have 12 games against Rays and Yankees. We can easily go 25-15 the rest of the year. We do that, it's 92 wins. It's playoffs, maybe not AL East Champs but playoffs.

Even with a loss tonight they are still in the wild card spot. I don't know how you can say they are done.

He's been watching the games.

[Tx Oriole]

Go follow another team then. Really calling the team trash is crossing the line.

Yes it is. I don't like it when humans are called trash.

[Dr. Unk]

I do think they shot their wad. Hope they can get their mojo back, but if not, the first half was a blast.

[Hank Scorpio]

Yep, unfortunately... stick a fork in 'em.

[McLovin]

Like they were going to be anything more than one-and-done in the playoffs anyway....

[maybenxtyr]

Oh look, the unsuccessful losers on here who live vicariously through a baseball team gave me a red dot of disapproval. :laughlol:

Not me. I don't care for your statement but I also don't play the rep game.

If this was just a hitting slump I would agree that there is no need for doom and gloom.

But Bundy and Tillman have both looked terrible this week--horrible results with decreased velocity. It's hard to stay optimistic when confronting the likelihood that both of them need a trip to the DL.

I wouldn't say Bundy needs a trip to the DL.

I think it is just fatigue.

I hope they put him back in the pen instead of trying to get blood out of a turnip this year.

Hope it's just a dead arm period. But I worry if they keep pushing him. It's pretty obvious that the fastball command isn't there. And it's not moving as much. From 96-97 down to 92-94.

If the team goes into freefall shut him down on the first.
