Why you got to do the Tides dirty like that?

[SteveA]

The 4-9 hitters in the Orioles lineup have the following OPSs:

• .556
• .548
• .536
• .653
• .445
• .334

And the two healthy players on the bench have OPSs of .480 and .481.

That is truly amazing.   Maybe you see something like that a week into the season on a team off to a horrible start, but I have to wonder if it has ever happened with a team 30+ games into the season (paging @DrungoHazewood for some Cleveland Spider history?).

This roster needs movement.

On the good news front.

Old Bay Goldfish crackers are a thing.

Tried some today....pretty tasty.

I normally find the powered cheese flavor of Goldfish to be a bit unpleasant but it's nicely tamped down as is the amount of Old Bay.

The Old Bay cheese puffs that I think Herr's makes are  hard to find, but when I bring them down from MD to one of our Virginia Tech tailgate my crew practically inhales them.   The popcorn too.   Will have to give the Goldfish a try.

It saddens me that this thread title is an exaggeration, but only by like 10%.

Even with offense being down across all of MLB that is one ugly lineup the O’s are fielding tonight.

And I’d sooner take my chances with the best of the Orioles minor leaguers over tonight’s squad of “major league” hitters. 

[O-The-Memories]

Check for fingerprint smudges on the bats with this criminal lineup.

Coby Mayo posted on IG from Camden Yards. Bet he sees first hand why he’d better continue to progress, and fast.

All those OHers who bought tix for tonite, you think they actually show up given that AR’s not there?

[SteveA]

Average slash line* of Yankee lineup:  .234/.318/.383/.702

Average slash line* of Oriole lineup:  .210/.286/.301/.587

*I did not add up all the at bats of all the players and hits, walks, etc.   I just averaged the slash line of each player weighted equally.

I was actually kind of surprised the Yankees' wasn't higher but they have a couple low #s at the bottom of the order and offense is down all over baseball.

You think ownership cares?

I will say, not the smartest move if folks did.  I doubt the game would have been a sellout regardless.

[SteveA]

Two strikeouts, two walks.   

And now an RBI single on the first ball put in play.

Odor sometimes botches the routine play, but he has a lot of range
