   -- The carnage with runners in scoring position continues:
       -- Twins series:  Orioles are 0/24 with RISP
       -- Since last Monday the Orioles are 4/56 (.071) with RISP, 40/162 (.247) without a runner in scoring position
       -- Starting with the second inning last Sunday in Washington, the Orioles are 4/63 (.063) with RISP.

Another loss.

But on the encouraging side, the Orioles were 1/7 (.143) with runners in scoring position, a full 72 points higher than they have hit in the past 7 games.   Way to go Orioles!   They ended an 0 for 27 streak in the 10th when DJ doubled and scored the placed runner scored.   That's right, the Orioles had been 0 for 27, the equivalent of being no hit for 9 innings, with RISP when DJ got that hit.

So since last Monday the Orioles are 5/63 (.079) with runners in scoring position.  They are 45/190 (.237)  during that time without RISP.   Dating back to the second inning on Sunday the 23rd in Washington, they are 5/70 (.071) with RISP.

Losing is a culture, and the Orioles have built a tradition of it. Buck Showalter and Davey Johnson were able to break the tradition briefly.

Exactly! It’s all about coaching and getting the most out of the players you have. You don’t need to have a bunch of all-stars, but this team is severely underperforming and that goes squarely on the shoulders of Brandon Hyde and his sorry coaching staff.

    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
    • Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 
    • Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.
    • I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen 
    • Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
