LMAO Gunnar Henderson to pinch hit. Only one way this ends. 

 

Wonder what the line in FanDuel would have been for that outcome. 

[Gurgi]

The Rays made that look easy.  We really didnt push them very hard.   

[Tony-OH]

We could never beat the Rays when they weren't good!

Oh well, a good 'ol fashion domination by Tampa pitching and more poor hitting with RISP by a team that has hit poorly with RISP most of the season. 

Well let's try and again tomorrow.

Man it sounds crazy to be any kind of voice of reason…. 

But we are going to be ok. Raise your hand if you thought that we would be 9 games over at this point before the season started?

we got out pitched...outhit and out defended...the Rays are a blueprint for what the Orioles want to be...but still years away....

[Billy F-Face3]

Someone else suggested we are a couple pieces away. After seeing these past 3 games, I'm buying into that theory. Even if we are a playoff team, the Orioles will need another solid RBI slugger and another front rotation pitcher. 

I remember Brooks Robinson talking about how good of a  team they were, but it wasn't until the Orioles traded for Frank Robinson that got them over the hump to finally win the World Series.

Urias looks like a 15 day...Rutschman  in a bad slump and Mateo isnt looking great either right now...we need a shot in the arm...and we need at least 2 arms..too

You dont feel the great moral victory in losing close games to great teams?  Why not?  The Atlanta manager said we "belong".  

We are losing in style now....and to the best.

I wish it was legal only for the Orioles to do steriods........we need some kind of unbalanced help.  

[TopGunnar]

Gunnar struck out again? Jesus man. He needs to make some major adjustments. He’s straight up Bad and has been all season. Huge disappointment

Wonder if Westburg gets the call if Urias is hurt?  Maybe they just bring Ortiz back up.

It's amazing the Rays have been a contender ever since they changed their name from Devil Rays.
