SWEPT BY THE FRIGGIN' TWINS!

[BirdinBama]

I hesitate to ask this question, but can it get any worse than this?

[Can_of_corn]

It can always get worse.

 

[Oriole1940]

Yes. I unloaded in another post. and nothing has changed with the team, but I feel marginally better about them.

On paper the Twins are an underperforming team. Not really a shocker that this current version of the Orioles were swept.

With runners in scoring position, we were 4/32 (.125).

Without a runner in scoring position we were 18/72 (.250).

Now I have been told that there is no such thing as clutch, and that over time players will hit the way they hit.   So that means that sometime soon we will have a stretch of games where we hit .400 with RISP, right?

Right?

This.  The twins were considered a borderline playoff team.  They have a strong lineup and decent pitching.  Underperfoming teams get healthy on bad teams.

If losing was winning this would be great news.  I think Eli feels another number one pick coming and honestly very few teams will contest our ineptness......

I predict trades at the deadline.  Santander, Mancini and Means are all probably dead men walking.

Yeah, I didn't think the Twins were as bad as their record indicated.  

We're downright awful though.

Yeah right, I'm sure any of them would be thrilled to be out of here and play somewhere that's got a chance at the playoffs.

I don't think any of them are traded though.

Don’t worry guys, it’s fine.  I have been told there is no reason to improve the roster.  Just keep going as is because that is working out so well!

[BirdinBama]

If you're Pat Valaika, how can you WATCH a third strike??? 

I know, I'm just upset and will get over it.

Another four, five years of accumulating talent Elias will be ready  to make his move.

[Aglets]

What is the longest losing streak we have suffered in the Elias / Hyde era?

So far?

Three years.

Crying about it is not going to change the fact that Eli isnt going to spend money till the team is better.  I remember the year we missed drafting Teixera because our team won the last five of a season with shut outs.  When tanking would of been better.  Until MLB has a pool of bad teams and draws straws to see who drafts where tanking is just a part of the game these days.
