Yep, he did nothing to upgrade the rotation and stuck with the status quo.  He doesn't get off the hook because of JA (as you know), he still has a stacked farm system he could of traded for pitching but he stood pat.  I'm afraid as a result were going to see more of these types of performances.  I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, agreed. I knew it would eventually come to roost and now as the weather warms the starting pitching is showing it's true colors.

But yeah, they benched Westburg so Frazier could play as well! 

Oh well, they suck tonight. Hopefully they will be better tomorrow!

It makes me wonder if it's just a cold streak, or is it the 2005 slide? 

That slide involved so many off-the-field issues as well as regressing to who they were as a team.  I don't think all that s^&% is going on with this team. 

I hope.

Stupid black white rainbow crap.  And we totally suck when we play in them.  

I don't remember how many years ago it was, but I remember a year when the Orioles introduced gray caps to be worn in road games.

They really weren't bad looking caps, but Cal didn't like them, so they were abandoned very quickly.

Too bad the Orioles don't have any players on the current roster who (A) have the kind of clout Cal had and (B) hate the City Connect uniforms as much as Cal hated the gray caps.

    • They are a bunch of simp libtards now, you'd fit in well
    • Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract 
    • I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.
    • I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...
    • Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season. 
    • I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
