A team that has been there and done that. And a team that hasn't been anywhere. Was the difference tonight. 

I think experience matters, the O's are still a young team. They should watch and learn.

Cant wait for the world series to end in a pitch 10 feet out of the zone called a strike looking so they change to robo umps. We likely lose the game regardless but its just the principle of it that the umpires get to determine when he wants the game to end not the teams.

Right, our hitters don’t do that, just a bunch of lucky yahoos. 
 

get a grip, man.

I didn’t say that. Astros hitters are tested and a little better in my eyes, especially in big games.

Our top six are as talented as theirs, but theirs are way more battle-tested. It will happen, give them time.

Uh oh, Palmer came very close to a negative comment there!

I missed it. What was it?

Bautista didn't look great against the Mets...but it's the Mets. Guessing he is in one of his swoons which thankfully have been brief.

Brutal game though. Totally showed out on national TV, coming out party for the O's....then blah.

That’s what I’m afraid of. First, the sh’t storm yesterday and now this loss. Just brutal. 

The players couldn't care less about the Kevin Brown drama.  I have no doubt that JA is thin skinned, but alot of the coverage yesterday was the media getting their two minutes hate against the Angelos family for past sins.

[Emory Eagle]

Another wasted effort from G Rod.  Ridiculous.

[LA2]

A big positive: Grayson pitched another good game. While the Astros may have Bautista figured out, we seem to have their ace Valdez figured out.

I hope I’m being dramatic, but this could be a season-alterer. All the negativity from the last 24 hours, there’s no way the players/coaches didn’t hear all about it.

Unfortunately they had the last laugh.  I hope we get back tomorrow.

I’ll hold that judgement til we get to him in the playoffs. He seems to have another gear in October baseball. We’ll see what kind of gears we have.

"The ball was flying out like in 2019. There are some nights... I'm not saying it's 2019, but there are some nights when the ball flies out."

Im not sure what he meant by 2019, but could have been construed as the pitching was like it was when we sucked... But he kinda caught himself clarified.

You act as if we don’t have the second most comeback wins in the league. Our guys are tested and have been great in big games.
