Geez people.  Bradish gave up a run this inning to the heart of the order to one of the best offenses in baseball and everyone in this thread is talking about like he's garbage.  Pathetic bunch of fan

This was a tough one to take...just needed 5 outs...and couldnt get it...our bullpen finally collapsed....Danny finally coughed it up...really tough loss...

What sucked was he grooved one.   Not even a competitive pitch.  Pillar hit it to the moon.

Yeah but it was a competitive game against maybe the best pitcher in baseball. 

Can’t win em all.

Well when you use like every reliever in almost every game, you are going to wear guys down. It's what Hyde does.

I think the starting staff has to take some share of the blame. Even in games where we have been up big early like 9-1, 6-1, we find a way to get the other team back in the game quickly.

Concerning loss tbh. Could send a young team spiraling. 
 

Adley has got to be better than he has the last 2 weeks. 
 

Mateo is falling off the cliff. 
 

Bullpen is gassed. Bautista can barely throw strikes. 
 

We need reinforcements. Cowser, Westburg, Tate, Givens. Lets Go!

That’s an Orioles loss if I’ve ever seen one. Gunnar Henderson is not a MLB player right now. We were told he would be elite at 3rd. Lol. Come on now. Would love to know why Cano wasn’t available tonight.

He is 21.  Cal Ripken was horrible for his first two months in his rookie season.  Markakis was suck his first two months.  You leave the true talents in there till they figure it out.  Gunnar is going to be all star worthy soon enough.  He just has to take his lumps.

Where I am most pissed is the crap pitching.  We need better.  We should of got better.  The whole pitching staff being a number five level talent with all the starters is what is killing us.

As Ben always says, win today and worry about tommorrow when tommorrow comes. Gibson is on the mound and I'd be confident Gibson can go depe in the game.

I wish I could share that confidence. Even if he does, it could be like last start against Kansas City where that was very far from a quality start. 6 and 2/3 but not good.

Oh please.   Have you watched this team all year?   They get knocked down and get right back up.   They never give up.

A close game between two of the best teams in baseball and one team was slightly better.   It's not the start of a spiral.

Of course lots of people thought our win against KC Thursday was somehow the start of a spiral too,

      See, you just can't help yourself.  You gotta get personal haha.  Never fails.  I see that a lot on internet message boards and to me it is always a sign of weakness and/or they have no argument.    Be better.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      ESPN (Kiley McDaniel) provides notes and re-rank of his top50.  Note that he removes players who have already lost or projected to lose eligibility in next week or so (meaning no guys like Cowser on O’s or Langford on TEX).  Link to post (note is behind paywall). Holliday #2 and 65 FV tier (along w/Skenes who jumped to #1 overall) Mayo #6 and 60 FV tier Basallo #16 and 55 FV tier Kjerstad #47 and 50 FV tier Fangraphs (Eric Longenhagen) provides update to his top100.  Unlike Kiley/ESPN, this list does not yet reflect any changes or projected changes to rookie eligibility (ie guys like Langford and Chourio are still in the top100 list).  Link to top100 list and his separate write up post. Holliday #1 Basallo #9 Mayo #22 Kjerstad #26 Povich #92

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      Exactly, your point about his upside is one of reasons I advocate him to play CF . And yes our personnel has an opening at CF . Jackson is 20 now and still at AAA . What better time to start crash course on CF than now ?

      I don't disagree but they've been extraordinarily fortunate w/ their contact. Feels a little like the 2014 Royals series..... everything's a hit.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Hallas · Posted

      This is crazy to me.  Holliday has shown 29 fps sprint speed in a very short stint up, which is plus-plus speed.  Sprint speed doesn't even peak until like 23 or 24, so he might go even higher.  Sprint speed is one of the universal hallmarks of raw athleticism and a Holliday is really fast.   The argument for athleticism applies doe people like Juan Soto, who is a once-in-a-generation hitter but appears to be pretty mediocre as an athlete by MLB standards.  There's no way Holliday fits that description.   And if athleticism benchmarks are too specialized, just look at his defense.  He's rated at +2 at 2b in only 2 weeks by OAA, and he hasn't even looked his best.  A mediocre athlete wouldn't be able to handle the dynamic movements of a MI position the way Holliday has.

      Glad to see Kjerstad getting another start tonight.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      My first 2 choices to trade would be Holliday and Heston of the guys who really haven't played on the Os much yet.  I think you could get almost whatever you want for Holliday (big time starter) and add in a couple of pieces with Heston and get 2 really good relievers.    And before you ask me who?  We have all seen the names on here but guys on other teams are really not by forte.  I will leave that to the experts.  Anyway..... Bingo, your pitching staff is much better.  You can win a WS this year and have pitching for next year.  All without hurting the team this year and maybe not even next. BTW in this scenario I resign Santa in place of Heston.
