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.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
