6 hits 1 run and hitting like 4 for 30 RISP. Full on collapse.

Priority ONE for Elias off-season is a TOR starter and a reliable middle of the order bat

Lol that's two priorities

[O's84]

5-1 now.  We could get 9 extra innings added on and we still wouldn't reach 6 runs.

Another 0 2 HR to weak hitting Biggio.

This team is just collapsing on itself

Ron Shelton (former Orioles farmhand and the screenplay writer/director) has a new book out about his life in baseball and the making of the movie. Good listen.

Thanks for that. I'll probably get that. I do have a book about his team mate in the O's system. This guy was the inspiration for Nuke LaLoosh.

Were an under manned pitching staff trying to patch work with scotch tape all the holes.  Which wouldn't be as bad if the offense woke up and actually did something for once.  Right now they are coming up snake eyes time and time again.

Hopefully the rain starts soon and the weather will just put this team out of their misery

That lost yesterday to one of the worst teams in baseball was a VERY bad loss. It made this series that much more important.

This was the game to use Hall in, not when it was a 1 run game

[O's84]

I'm sure glad Hyde saved his top bullpen arms to win the 2nd double header game.

This team gave us a really fun Summer. They may just be out of gas? Or the odds are starting to even out? At some point talent is going to win out, we are still lacking in some areas of our team plus our best guys are young and still learning and growing.

[Hank Scorpio]

When you counter Gausman-Berrios with Baumann-Akin .... yeah.

Probably need to go 7-1 against them the rest of the way if we can't come back here. Huge disappointment.

6-2

That would leave us half a game behind them not counting games against other teams.   They have a ton of games against Tampa so they do not have any easy schedule.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

So what position player is most likely to close out this game pitching the ninth inning for the Orioles today? 

[O's84]

Well, I'm out... see you guys tomorrow.  Not going to watch anymore of this embarrassment.
