vs. Indians 6/21

This looks like a Gausman start last season. He pitched well enough to win yet gets no run support and the following pitchers struggle mightily ( after Hart left )

Hard to believe we had Miller and let him go.  The moves this organization makes is just pathetic.  Boy we could have used him this year with our injury plagued bullpen.  Get really tired of Kim not having a chance to bat against lefties.  He would do better than anybody else we have.  

They had Miller and let him go for O'Day, basically. They also had Nelson Cruz and let him go for Davis/Trumbo (pick one). These two moves make me very bitter as an Oriole fan. What might have been.

It's similar to the Ravens letting Boldin go when he was their only legitimate receiver and had just won them a SB. But at least  they had just won the SB.

I know he is accepting various roles now, but I think after 2014 he wanted to go somewhere where he would be promised the closer role.

It's a possibility because, obviously, I was not invited to the meetings with the agent. However, I do remember him being pretty open and excited about signing Chapman in New York.

I still like Castro, some hard hit balls this inning and some not so hard.

I totally agree with you.  I was just saying to my son imagine if we had Miller for O'Day and Cruz for Davis.  We would definitely be a much better team this year.

They have lot of lefties that make it hardon right handlers.

If Buck will willing to use Asher I would have had him start the inning.

Absolutely. Especially with Miller's ability to pitch multiple innings. Combine that with Mychal Givens' ability to go a couple innings and suddenly, you aren't as overworked and the bullpen might have been able to tread water through the injuries more successfully.

[schittenden]

I'm pretty sure Miller got the call on that pitch several times.

I see the Indians have the reached the magic number 5. Will we ever allow less than 5 runs in a game again?

Yeah, next season.

I really thought it would end tonight, and the bullpen has to give up garbage time runs.

Castro had nothing.

Two more to go, they can do this.

[oriolediehard]

It is tough to live up to my user name.  The O's get my hopes up winning 3 of 4 and then let you fall 50 feet under.

Gausman looked more like the pitcher that he was last year than the one that he has been for most of this year.

Donnie Scott Hart pitched well in relief.

Castro was very good in his previous 2 games, and not good at all today.

We lost a game with Bundy on the mound on Monday, we won a game in which Tillman was tagged for 5 runs in only 4 innings pitched on Tuesday, and we're probably going to lose a game in which Gausman pitched well on Wednesday.

 

All of that adds up to the Orioles being one big question mark as a team moving forward for the next few weeks until the All-Star break.

They would have made the playoffs in 2015, might have won it all in 2016, and probably would make the playoffs again this year. That's all.
