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...

He should have given nothing to Pillar to hit.

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.

[oriolediehard]

Didn't help that we didn't sign any pitchers other than Gibson this off season that we were promised.

Holy #@$%. We have a slightly above average lineup and a below average pitching staff but 3rd in MLB currently. Lost by 1 against one of the best teams in MLB. Everything will be ok

[Goober Noodles]

Ya'll need to step back from the ledge.  We're playing a top 5 team in the game and controlled most of the game while having a gassed bullpen.  That was a good game in my book.

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,

Points?   What sport you think your watching?

Runners=Runs=Points. Don't take your frustrations out on me.

[ArtVanDelay]

They are who we thought they were!!!  And we let ‘em off the hook!

Calling runs points deserves a call out. Just saying
