These City Connect jersey designs look like something out of a softball league after seeing the Orioles and now Brewers City Connect jerseys.

Just crap baseball.  How does this team win so many games.

In April and May we scored more than the stats would suggest we should.  We had a short stretch in May where the ERA came down.  

We are now scoring consistent with OPS and the ERA is going back up.

Wiemer is killing the O's offensively and defensively

We should try to do that thing where we score more runs than the underlying stats suggest we should again.

Orioles are turning back into the Orioles. Disappointing but expected. For anybody under the age of  40 it’s all we’ve known.

So glad I had a meeting and saw I did not miss much of anything. We are getting swept can see a long losing streak our hitting is getting worse and worse. And we wear the jinxed city connect shirts on Friday.

This team has potential. But it also has weak spots. The most glaring is a lack of pitching depth in the system. 

[seak05]

I think Gunnar saw more pitches in this AB then the Orioles have seen in some innings this game 

[Moose Milligan]

Pray they can avoid the sweep tomorrow. Last night really stings. 

[Hank Scorpio]

May as well get tossed. Whatevs.

Hyde trying to get his team fired up. 
 

But that was a strike.

 I suspect that might be holding back Elias from promoting some players in the farm system. Elias is planning to make some trades soon for pitching help and doesn't want to take the luster off any prospects.

Even though a small sample size of bad at bats to start an MLB career shouldn't diminish the trade value of a top prospect.

Maybe it will wake up the Orioles hitters.

At least now Cano won't end up pitching.
