ALDS Game 3: Keeping hope alive

[Fuzzball22]

Texas has been streaky all year. Sadly we caught them in a hot streak. 

[O's84]

Extremely disappointed in this team.  Didn't even get us through 2 innings before the game was out of reach.  This was embarrassing!

Gibson should have started. He was always the better choice.

Yea especially with what a ton of extra stuff on Kremer's mind.

we just never had a chance in this series...our lineup just doesn't match up....next year we might be better with good health...

I made a post about this exact thing in July and got completely ridiculed for it by the cheerleaders here.

 

If you really look at our line up.  As in REALLY look at it?

 

We do not have the star players to compete....yet.

 

Anytime we played a Dodgers or an Astros or even a Rangers?  We were and are over matched.

This is disgusting.  At least going to the games you don't have to listen to these asshat announcers.  Salt in the wound.

I always have mute on

The Orioles are going to have the longest active playoff losing streak, eight games. They will be the new Minnesota Twins.

Texas is unreal.  Impossible to pitch to this lineup

Impossible to get them out with pitches right over the middle of the plate. Not one good start in the series.

Baloney. Armchair Manager. He probably gets beat down too.

Less disappointed by the early exit than I am how embarrassing this whole series has been. We haven’t looked like we had any business being in the postseason. Crazy after winning 101 games.

TB won 99 and they didn't fare any better.

What a joke of a team.  They won't learn anything from this post season.

It can just be that we are losing to a hot team. Is a 101 win team a joke? You can be proud of the season and the team, it’s ok.

Some things have become clear: the O's were built nicely for the regular season, but they are awfully inadequate for the postseason.

1. No SP beyond Bradish.
2. Bullpen is for lolz.
3. No big lumber in the lineup you can count on to get you out of a hole quickly. (The O's best hitter bats leadoff.)
4. An inexperienced manager.

Need to trade some of these prospects to get a TOR pitcher, but the issue there is will our cheap owner take on a big contract. I'm also not opposed to a middle of the order bat at 1B/DH or corner outfield if the right player becomes available.

Yep … so little joy in this entire series .. zip

This team had a lot of luck during the regular season with all the 1 run wins. The luck ran out. I expect a lot of regression next year unless we spend a little for some pitching/BP and power. Either way, we aren’t going to be as good as this season record wise. 

[SouthernBird]

Make them ride a Greyhound back from Texas. They do not deserve a charted plane after this shit show.

Now I can concentrate on the Ravens pissing away their season by throwing away more games they have no business losing
