Renato Nunez wasn't making that stop at first, let alone a solid throw to the plate. They are hamstrung by having Davis on the roster, but bringing him in was the right call.

Blew through the stop sign, then stopped when he should have kept going. If you're going to blow through the sign just keep going. 

Yeah, at least make them throw it to the plate! The runner is going to get to second regardless at that point, you do nobody any favors drawing a rundown

I HATE watching this kind of baseball. Losing by horrific umpiring, missed throws and boneheaded plays.

If Davis made a good throw, if the ump didn't SCREW Mullins on two balls that were out of the zone by at least a foot apiece, if Mullins didn't pretend like there isn't a 3B coach, OR kept running, OR stopped at third, we would still have a chance.

It's like a plane crash. There's a "kill chain" -- a long series of events that all went wrong in a row to make it happen. How unlucky are we?

Error and bad base running is not going to win you many extra innings. 

But, when you play Chris Davis and Dwight Smith Jr. you get what you get. If the #Orioles were interested in winning neither would be on the roster.

Radio announcers need to do a better job describing things. He was not that clear on Davis throw Home either. Said it got by Severino but I don’t think he said it bounced.

Dwight Smith ignored the 3B coach, not Mullins.

Severino needs to catch Davis' throw,

I'd rather watch the 2019 O's and their total, abject ineptitude than a team that's good enough to make it close, but bad enough to remind me of when I played in Little League.

In general much of the sloppy type play is from the same players. Rio made mistake other day, it happens.

      The outfield might be slick from all the rain. I think that can influence lineup decisions.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      By e16bball · Posted

      I’ve been rending my garments over Adley and his struggles for months now. But I will say that it seems like a bit of an odd time to come together as a group on the notion of benching him — just as he’s been starting to show some signs of being Adley again.  Over the last week of the season, Adley had a 50% hard hit rate and an average EV of 89.9 MPH. Those numbers absolutely dwarf what he was doing for months, when he was sitting at more like a 26% HH rate and an 85 MPH EV. Anecdotally, I can’t even remember the last time we saw Adley drive a ball into the left-center gap like he did multiple times against MIN. That’s Adley at his very best, and it was a sight for sore eyes.  I’m not sold that he’s 100% back, and I would still stick with McCann catching Burnes tomorrow (especially since using Adley as the DH is viable with a LHP starter in Ragans). But I sincerely doubt we can run the table without at least a few stretches of Adley being Adley — so I think this recent spurt is probably enough to warrant sending him out there every day still, in hopes that he really is getting it locked back in.

      Apparently, if you just waited to buy tickets, you could just basically go for free. Well done orioles.

      Well, they likely would not have drafted an overslot SS with the second round pick if they had taken another HS SS first overall, so would you rather have Henderson and Rutschman or just Witt?

      It’s my understanding that nationally televised games are usually blacked out. Consider a free trial subscription of Fubo if they are still offering it.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The Orioles starters absolutely have to do better against the Royals. You can't ask this bullpen to pitch most of the game and expect to win. Right now I probably trust Coulombe the most and Soto (which I never would have guessed a couple weeks back). Perez has been really shaky recently to the point I'm wondering is he nursing a tired arm or minor injuey. Cano hasn't been good as well and O's really need him to get back into a groove. And Akin is usually trustworthy, but only starting the inning clean.
