I got caught up in the idea that this team should win 100+ games and the division. That's what makes it hard to accept a loss like this. Baseball can be a very frustrating game.

Were you watching from 2018-2021?

That was frustrating.

Does anyone have any update on Wells?  What really is his status?  Is he shutdown?  Is is just dead arm and the Orioles are keeping mum?  I havent heard nothing about the guy in weeks.  

No idea.

I'm going with if they aren't saying anything the news isn't good.

I saw him in one minor league game.  His velo was decent like 93.  I know when he was in he pen two years ago he was hitting 95.  I know he has had a tommy john.  Sure hope it isnt another.  Or worse the dreaded shoulder.  Shoulders have a crap success rate.

Both of those things are still likely to happen.

If you didn’t see this coming from a mile away, you haven’t been watching our pen lately. They are completely gassed.

Too many relievers who can't be trusted in high leverage situations.

You not being old enough to remember the 2014 Tigers explains a lot about your posts.

One of these days you’ll realize that not everything you say is correct. We’re not there yet but I’m confident we’ll get you there.

Hyde or Elias?

Elias got him on the roster. Hyde makes decisions on the field.

Angels are leading the Ray 8-3 in the 7th.

If you think the Rays bullpen is not astronomically better and deeper than the Orioles bullpen, don't let reality get in the way of your nonchalance.

The Rays have the best bullpen in baseball right now. The Orioles lost the best closer in baseball after the trade deadline had passed. I have no idea what you're expecting.
