Memorial Day, May 29: Guardians come to town

Inexcusable lazy ass play by Frazier and McCann. This team is asleep and needs to be chewed out by Hyde.

They hit a bunch of ground balls and none were really hit hard.  Sometimes the ball finds holes.  That the problem when you don’t score.  

Ah, some of them were.  They got unlucky on 2 of them though.

Frazier double clutched and made a bad throw, McCann still should have caught that though.  In the end, almost the whole team played like shit today.  Regroup tomorrow and hopefully take the next 2.

wonder if Elias & Hyde do a shake up after Cleveland gets done turning their season around by beating on us in this series.

I can see some fall to earth for this squad. Kinda started with Texas. 
 

The offense needs help. It's painfully obvious that Mateo, Mckenna, McCann, Mountcastle, O'Hearn can all be replaced by something better.

One of the lowest scoring teams in MLB.   3.4 rpg, tied with Oakland for worst in MLB.    Only one batter on the entire roster has an OPS+ of over 100 (100 is average).

Well .. we have helped them with that today.

Even with his issues, I suspect DL Hall would still be better than Perez is right now. Maybe the club want to exhaust all options at him starting, but he might be our best shot at having an impact lefty out of the pen.

In May he had ERa of 1 his whip was. .899 and teams were hitting .178.  He has been very good in May coming into today and it wasn’t like they pounded him today.

Classic letdown game after surviving the gauntlet at 13–9.

As mentioned, Cleveland eventually flips the switch and starts to play up to their potential. I was hoping the walk off by Ramirez yesterday wasn’t that….

Yeah but replacing them starts the clock on prospects.   Also Elias is hinting about trading a bunch of them for Starting pitching.  Maybe you dont want to take the bloom off the rose by bringing a guy up and having him suck in his MLB debut when you want to deal him with the rep as a top prospect.

I originally thought the McCann acquisition made a lot of sense and the Frazier acquisition made none. I've changed my mind on both. McCann reminded me of Severino on that last botched "catch."

Have the Orioles ever been able to hit soft tossing lefties. Years ago Jimmy Key used to eat them up too.

He catches the ball like Mountcastle.  Just ineptly stabs at the ball.  Misses and looks awful

Other teams are not stupid.

Something needs to be done to wake this team up. Not expecting perfection but maybe play slightly better than this ****show today

Looks like Adley might get his first full game off of the season today.
