Eh, I do kinda get upset but honestly, this team has crapped it's pants against the Yankees and Red Sox for years now.

This team always find ways to give games away to the Yankees. It's just in there DNA. Until they bring up some players who can pull on their big boy pants and not poop their pants at the sight of pinstripes, we are going to continue to have games like this.

But, when your manager continues to try and run through 4 and 5 relievers instead of allowing guys to go 2-3 innings, you are goi9ng have this.

I'm convinced when/if this team is ready to compete, they will need a new coaching staff to get it to the next level. 

Let's not forgot that bad a send by 3b coach Tony Mansolino.

This team can't back up the mean Oriole image on the field. I think something like this is more appropriate.

Freddy Galvis becomes the 6th Oriole to bat cleanup year. Franco - 15 games Mountcastle - 11 Mancini - 5 Severino - 3 Stewart - 3 and now Galvis

Coaches suck, pitchers (outside of Means) aren't very good, defense is poor, and we don't hit well.  But, you know, other than that...

I’ve had the feeling since he was hired that Hyde is going to be a caretaker manager who gets jettisoned (if) when this team is ready to win.

That's pretty much the way it works right?

He should be happy if he gets a 14 year stint in Baltimore, most guys don't stay in one city near that long.

The funniest thing was when Holmes was being interviewed about the bullpen and he was glowing about how they prepared them so well and how the relievers are able to get the most out of their abilities. Meanwhile I'm listening to the interview thinking, "the other shoe is going to drop"  because these guys are not that good.

 

They may well be getting the most out of their abilities.

Except for 2012 and 2014. Or going way back to '96 and '97. Same thing every time otherwise. They FIND ways to lose.Timely Error, timely baserunning mistake, timely hanging curveball. Whatever it takes to lose.

Yeah. It will really help to get Rio's bat in the lineup.

There just aren't a lot of options on this team.:noidea:

Yeah, very true, but I was thinking that Franco is plummeting so much--4 for last 51 ABs after a good streak (average peaked at .264 on April 27)--that he needs a break to reset, maybe coached, with good results even if Ruiz gives nothing but an 0-fer for a game or two, but with better D. And who knows, Rio might have one of his rare good games at the plate. A rejuvenated, coached Franco might be worth it. We also cd put Valaika at third and Urias at second. I bet Franco does get a break either today or tomorrow.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
