I mean you have 2 on none out, you get nothing.  You have bases loaded none out, you get nothing.  You give 3 unearned runs (Mostly on Watkins), one of them on a bad throw where the guy wasn't halfway to 1st.  Heck, he could of read the entire works of Shakespeare and still would have had time to throw the guy out. 

Bottom line, it's hard to win a Baseball game when you do all of that.

Owings is terrible. Guy can;t field and he certainly can't hit major league pitching. Somehow this guy made the team. Gotta love that computer program indentfying those diamonds in the rough!

I really don't need to see another AB from him to know that he can't hit.

Frustrating but Williams is a really, really good pitcher. And Odor probably strikes out too.

But lefties hit him better. So even though Odor and Stewart are bad, they c=give you a better opportunity then Owings, Mateo and McKenna (Who cant hit righties or over 94 MPH)

I did not like the signing and absolutely hated him making the team.

Owings has a career OPS+ of 73. What computer program would say he was good, a golf simulator?

Not to mention... I've seen enough of McKenna too. How many sub-600 OPS games are going to be enough for Elias to give up on him?

He's a changeup pitcher. .194/.540 vs RHB, .168/.598 vs LHB. Odor and Stewart are pretty much guaranteed K's.

    • Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.
    • Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)
    • Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on. 
    • While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon. 
    • I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy. 
    • Oh mr know it all. Who most times is wrong. Lol
    • I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
