Wednesday afternoon September 20: Orioles go for sweep in Houston

[Dunk35]

Lol thanks Fuji. Pathetic outing. Hyde gotta stop that love affair.

[Morgan423]

Didn't convert our scoring chances today, beat on a dink and dunk double. 

Oh well, regroup and get a good start in Cleveland tomorrow.

This one is on Hyde. Whatever sabermetrics, analytics he's using, throw them out. You do NOT being Fujinami in a situation like this. This was a winnable game..

1-0 in Houston is far from a sure win.

Bradish fought hard for this game, but ultimately, this is on the offense. Eight innings of one run ball from Bradish and the 'pen. If you lose a game like that, you can't blame the last reliever in the 9th for losing 2-1. Saw some of the worst plate discipline the O's have had this year in today's game. Oh well, series win.

You mean Bradish and Webb, not Bradish and the pen.

Blah. Glad I didn’t have to watch this one. Sounds like this one is on Fuji.

No, this is on the offense. You can't win if you can't score. 1 run is not enough for an MLB club.

[Moose Milligan]

Still have 4 more games before a day off. 
 

IMO, no team should be playing 17 in a row in September. This is ridiculous.

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

[Dunk35]

This bullpen is wirrisome. Onto Cleveland

Blame Elias for trading for him and giving Hyde the options he has.

You think Hyde can just not use him and burn everyone else even more?

It was 1-0 in the eight inning... Any competent BP shuts them down for two more innings.

Equally because the Orioles couldn't score more than one run despite several good opps.

[Roy Firestone]

This team is deeply flawed with its pen..I dont care that the statistics show we are a good pen...in fact, we are NOT...too many holes, too little control..not enough strikeouts when it matters late.....2 out of 3 is good in Houston, but this was a winnable game with decent bullpen relief...shame we couldn't pick up Bradish...Id seriously think of Wells for the pen too...cant be much worse than what we have ...and the pen is also toast...

Agree with this. Schedule makers prob didn’t think we’d matter right now.

This game was 95% on the offense. Yes BP is fried and Hyde made some questionable decisions, but I was hoping for just 1 of 3 and we got 2. Angels have to help out some way somehow tonight.

Meanwhile Tampa was off on Monday, and have TWO off days next week.
