This team is not going to contend this year ..the pitching is way worse than I expected..

This team will contend if Bradish, Kremer Wells and GRod continue to grow and pitch well this season.  Gibson and Irvin are back end of rotation types.  Bradish looked very good in spring, Wells looked great in his one appearance.  GRod was promising in his start.   Kremer has had bit issue with home run ball but he looked decent last season so time well tell.

Orioles need an OF upgrade 

(also the Oriole could easily put Urias in 5th if they wanted and Frazier 6th, they are choosing to hit Henderson 5th, and Henderson was up last year)

The Yankees have a young guy that is top prospect and they can bat him 9th to learn while we have to put Henderson in the 5 spot.    This team has two big holes a middle of the order professional hitter and veteran top of rotation pitcher.  The question will be do they decide to add one of those guys in next 2 years or not to let us compete for titles or do we just hope to battle for a wild card next few years.

Pray that the Angelos sell the team to an owner who will spend whats needed to win. Can you imagine Angelos spending to keep Adley a lifetime Oriole?  I am angry at our owners.

Lineup order doesn't have much of an effect on runs scored.

I'd rather Gunnar get more at bats.

Glad we're sitting Stowers for these quality ABs

This offense is absolutely inept tonight

Giving up four runs to the Yankees is hardly evidence of a non contending team. If we had five runs would you make the same comment?

I wonder if people stayed away tonight because of the cold.  Seems like a pretty pathetic crowd. 

30,601 .At the game not sure. Tomorrow in the 26,000 or so range.

Adley gets it away so fast

lazy ABs

Offense is completely asleep tonight.

[double]

Doesnt make him throw one strike

[Jagwar]

I don't think Mountcastle swung at a single strike

[dtk9119]

Did I say this offense has been inept tonight?

Now you have to beat nemesis Cortes tomorrow. Blew your chance facing a rookie tonight. 

[Aristotelian]

I'm pretty much done with Mouncastle.
