Yeah, he doesn’t care whether we win, but he should care about looking stupid.

The last three games have told us that is just a fluke.  Like a blind pig finds some nuts once in a while.  This team is trash.

The last two games have been tied late against good teams and in both games Fry, who had been our best reliever the entire season, was absolutely horrible, and left too big a mess for Tate to be able to clean up.

Team is short all over diamond. Enjoy when they win and hope games are competitive. The holes show up over time. Key to being decent to watch is the rotation. They keep throwing the way they have after break it will be more palatable.

In a big year games like last 2 are gut punches. In a year like this one I would rather lose that way than getting bombed early if that makes any sense.

Things that irritate me the most.  

1.  Severino on defense

2. Franco on defense and hitting.  

3.  Our patchwork starting pitching. 

4. Santander on defense.  

5. DJ Stewart on defense and hitting.  

These guys Severino and Franco and Santander and DJ Stewart sap the will to live out of me.  Oh god they all suck on defense.  Suck mega bad.   Galatic levels of suck.

Makes a lot of sense. At least the first five or so innings are enjoyable and allow one to hope.

1,2 and 5 will be gone next year. 
 

Elias needs to upgrade SP. I think Santander is not close to being 100%.  Looks stiff.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
