Thursday afternoon May 4: rubber match in KC, Orioles try to win 7th straight series

This game has been a disaster.  Reminds me of the Red Sox games earlier this year.

The Orioles are not really good.  We are kind of fake.  

Or perhaps we are having a really really bad day?

Might as well have Cano end his scoreless streak now rather than over the weekend. Nothing else going right on the pitching side today anyway.

Hyde needs to go .. no way in heck am I bringing in Cano now after this game is toast

I don't find today depressing (win or lose), but games like this shouldn't be too surprising. This is a team that has lots of offensive talent, with prospects in the minor leagues who are blocked for now, and no starters with a record of consistent success in the major leagues. Yet it has chosen not to draft, trade for or sign a top-line starting pitcher. When you build a team that way, you're going to give up a lot of runs, and when you face really good pitching it's going to be hard to win games.

What was the old Oriole way?  Pitching and defense?  Now it's hitting and prayer, as in pray our pitchers get lucky.

When Rutch has a bad game it really throws a wrench into the O's offense.

They’ve scored eight runs. Offense isn’t the problem.

Still tied need to keep that in mind. Boy it doesn’t feel like it though.

No way Columbe gets out of this one

LMAO they get no outs on the squeeze.  Absolute trash

 

[dtk9119]

So IF and it's a big IF Cano gets out of this who does Hyde bring in to pitch the 8th??

[spiritof66]

Strike 4. You're outta here!

[Roy Firestone]

hideous....

[dtk9119]

And that will do it. Good night.

Beautiful piece of hitting by Bobby Witt. KC is just seeing it well today. Sometimes you have to just tip your cap.

[Surhoffan17]

Hard to imagine us winning any in Atlanta. 

[HandsomeQuack]

You wouldn't believe it from this series, but Witt is not a great hitter.
