Is the offense really that bad? We were 7th in MLB in runs coming into the game. There's definitely been some missed oppotunities with RISP the last few games, but overall it's been good.

We are prisoners of the moment.

Tell you what, the Orioles picked the right time to go into a hitting slump!

The key thing is the Orioles are still winning games even with a sputtering offense. They’ve come a long way the past two years.

Man Baker is dealing this week!

[baltfan]

Baker is a monster

[tntoriole]

Baker looking like money!! 

[Tony-OH]

I like my relievers to appear a little  psychologically imbalanced like Baker! 

[Aristotelian]

Baker is hilarious

[LA2]

Great pitch variety shown by Baker that inning. I assume those are Rutschman's calls, right?

[baltfan]

Gotta give the Orioles brass a ton of credit on finding bullpen arms for cheap. 

[seak05]

Sheesh if this team could ever figure out how to pitch and hit simultaneously, they might be able to take one game from the Rays in a series 

[baltfan]

Would Hudson Haskin be an improvement over McKenna? 

[LA2]

If Givens and Tate come back sound and effective, Perez finds last year's touch, and Bauman and Cano sustain, the O's will have the best pen in baseball. (That list doesn't even consider Zimmerman, Akin, Voth, and Watkins--all of whom had very good streaks in 2022.) I'm assuming that BB and the Mountain are solid.

Considering Haskin's is currently out injured, probably not. 

I sort of wonder if Ortiz can play cf though (I mean I know he never has, and it would be a waste...but still)

That moved like a 2 seamer
