Wells looked shaky at best in that inning, but he gutted through it. This team is gutsy!

Oh well, Manoa is on his game. This game is lost unless a Blue Jays releiver screws it up.

This is what happens when you blow a double -header knowing you have to face one of the best starter's in the league in one of your two other games.

The Orioles will now be 1-4 over their last 5 games. Its been a good run.

This game is not over. But this series is proving something to me.

Talent for talent, right now the Blue Jays have more. And since they are not going anywhere anytime soon. And since they will be adding Moreno and Ryu to what they already have next year. (I know we will be adding Grayson and a full season of Gunnar as well).

But we are going to need to add more talent from outside the org, if we want to get past them. (Yes I know that we lead the seasons series). But if you look at this must have series, we had to scratch out with all the heart we could muster 1 of the 4 at home.

We're going to need to get better to match bullet for bullet next year with them.

Agreed. I don’t think we are terribly far off. I mean what the Jays have are some more well established guys who have a few years of experience on our guys. I don’t think the talent gap is necessarily a huge delta but our rotation doesn’t have a guy like Manoah for sure.

Even if we lose tonight we can get back in it next 5 games.

He is 4th in ERA. 

Well he very well may win the Cy Young this year and he's certainly on his game tonight. The Orioles have almost no chance against him so hopefully they need to pull him out at some point to save innings. 

Kremer has been good overall but had that one clown show inning where he couldn't put hitters away and that's the difference.

Erasing a 3 run lead seems a lot to ask.  1,2 ... maybe but 3 just seems out of reach.  But it is baseball so who knows.

There was a time when 3 didn't seem like that many, with all of the last inning comebacks mid-season. But the overall feeling is they're out of gas.

Really could have won Game 1 but those 2 botched DP's play Henderson, combined with Hays and Mateo's missing meatballs with 2 on killed us.  Now in game 4, it's hard to see them coming back.  Losing game 1 really hurt us.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
