Paul Fry

I know Fry has been effective in the past but right now he looks very lost.  Tentative, nibbling, looks almost like he has zero confidence.  If you are afraid to throw a pitch aggressively you need to step away.

Pretty much the entire bullpen looks lost right now.  Tate just gave up a grand slam.  They are all terrible right now.

I think there are several members of the O's bullpen that are not happy to still be in Baltimore

They were expecting getting a chance of playing for a contender, now they are stuck completing another lost season in Baltimore, with no hope for next year either.

Not surprised that their performances have dropped off a cliff, they are only human, and losing is depressing

Hate to say this but Holty is not impressing me much as a pitching coach.  I also have issues with the pitch calling by our catchers but that is a complete separate discussion.

Need an entirely new bullpen.

Really should've moved a guy like Tate for anything.

There’s nothing I hate more than watching a bullpen blow a decent lead.  That’s twice in three days.

I'm starting to wonder if Elias has mastered the concept of selling high.

Maybe he needs some more time in the minors until he can dominate?

If they want to play on a good team next year feeling sorry for themselves won’t help.

I rather not pick either but if I had to pick one on a team like this I would rather the pen suck instead of starters.

I don’t like getting my hopes up and then having them dashed.   I’d rather turn the game off in the 3rd inning after the starter blows up and find something else to do with my day.

 Not sure his trade-tool will ever be better than 40

At this point I’m looking for entertainment not wins. I get what you are saying.

Well one thing you can't say is that these games recently are lacking action, but the story is always the same. The Orioles will blow the lead eventually.

Yeah. Even last night was tight until the 8th. I can’t stand being down 6-0 Top 4th. Shame Ryan is out.  
 

Hope we beat Tigers a couple of games. Rough road trip coming up. Schedule getting harder. It’s obvious to all of us but they are undermanned vs good teams. After a good start after break I’m afraid it’s going to get real ugly.

Why trade when you can just under slot your first few draft picks?
