Look, I get it. Sometimes you get beat. Sometimes the other pitcher is on top of his game. 
 

But the showing today from the Orioles was pathetic. Pitching to Arozarena with two on and two out was inexcusable. And they had absolutely no plan at the plate against Rasmussen today. Swinging at everything, no patience. 
 

At least Mateo just ruined the perfect game, but still.

Wait, are we back as a winning team that we start making threads called "pathetic" over getting beat 2 of 3 from a team that has typically beaten us like a drum over the last oh I don't know, last eig

It almost feels like a team that we all expected to win about 67 games this year won't win every game down the stretch against some of the best teams in baseball.  Strange.

I have been meaning to do the numbers but since Hyde and Elias got here, I would love to see the record of the Orioles for day games on the last game of a series.

It seems like these “getaway” days are always brutal and that’s been the case the whole time they have been here.

Pitching to Arozarena was egregious enough that a beat writer might actually ask Hyde about it. But as for the approach at the plate, I mean you can't work the count when he's literally not throwing any balls.  They just got worked these last few games by a team showing they weren't to be forgotten. Good statement by TB.

What have they been doing the other six days a week since they got here until about 3 months ago?

Well yeah, because it’s the day they don’t put their A lineup out there. 
 

I mean, it’s about as much of a must win game as there can be in August due to the tiebreaker implications. No Vavra? Phillips and Nevin? C’mon.

I recall one season we lost about 10 sundays in a row.  That was brutal, but then again we were shite then.

Huh?

They were winning 52 games a year.  They weren't any better the other six days a week.

People had these same complaints about Buck and his "B" day lineups.  The fact is, they rest players.  And Sunday, due to the day games and travel, is a very popular day to do that.  It's quite common all around the league.

Well, I don’t know how common it is to be completely non competitive in these games.  It is one thing to lose..it’s another to not even be competitive. 
 

It also could be an indication of how Hyde motivates them and gets them ready for these games.

Well, we weren't non-competitive.  We lost 4-1 and they had to bring in their closer.

The only bat that was really out of the lineup was Mountcastle, and he's been horrendous lately.

We lost.  A guy pitched very, very well against us today.  These things happen.  That doesn't mean there's some underlying issue.

This is one of your better posts. 

Well it's true, the game sucked. Got to get the bad taste out of my mouth. I'm going to my basement to do a workout now. Then time for a cold one. Got a couple of Sam Adams in the fridge.

We have never played well in Tampa.

But honestly, do you guys really think Elias really thinks this team is a contender? Today's lineup included a .706 OPS celan up hitter in Urias, Odor (.644 OPS) batting 5th, the end of the lineup with Nevin (.571) playing 1B and Phillips and his .488 OPS playing RF.

In the words of Cal Naughton Jr., "It's embarrassing."

This is why I'm enjoying the ride, but I'm not going to start getting too excited because it's clear Elias still is not putting a contending team lineup on the field every game.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By Just Regular · Posted

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      By terpoh · Posted

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
