We were 3-3 against both the rangers and Astros in the regular season. We haven’t been overmatched by anybody this season, until now.

Big....as in a giant cavern...difference between the top teams during the regular season and the playoffs.

Grayson will be fine next year with more experience, Braddish is good, and if Means is healthy that gives us 3 good starters.  I think either Kremer or Wells will make a good bottom of the roatation starter.  If the O's could bring in one stud TOR guy, I think that they will be in pretty good shape next year

If Kremer or Wells are still in the rotation, Elias isn't doing his job IMO

[TopGunnar]

But for real though. Not being swept in a year and a half and then getting swept in the playoffs is Oriole Baseball if I’ve ever seen it.

Yep, growing pains...this team was never even supposed to be in this series this year.

Adley is the only young player most likely near his peak. The future is bright, but you never know in baseball things can go wrong and there's always John Angelos lurking in the background to potentially screw up a good thing.

Again, said this during the summer. This team is a lot like the Os teams from 2012 to 2016....minus the stars.  A bunch of role players who had career years.

 

Only real star on this team is GH.  Adley is ok.  Is he better than Weiters?  No.

 

Is anyone else on this team better than  anyone from those teams back then?  No.

 

In fact I think we had better players back then.

The key will be if our young players develop.  And being honest....other than GR?  They are not.

SP is better, hands down.

Who else is ready for major sigings of Kenta Maeda and Kolton Wong this winter?

DeGrom?

Let’s see. You might end up right but he was good while healthy.

I was making a sarcastic point. Everyone is ticked off. Im not saying we shouldn’t try to improve the rotation but Kremer hasn’t been bad this year. Just one of those nights. 
 

I wanted an Eovaldi or Bassitt before year. Whole industry is a mess in terms of pitching.

Trying to find a silver lining and all I got is “At least I didn’t bet $5000 on the orioles tonite…..

[royalstillman]

Don't even want the division title next year. Just a wildcard.

[Dunk35]

Texas had the better lineup and all their starting pitchers have postseason experience prior to this year. Meanwhile, Bradish, G-Rod and Dean make their postseason debuts against the best offense in the American League. 

[baltfan]

Can they put Kjerstad in the game?

Come on Adley, shock us all and get a hit 

How about overswinging, losing his balance and a long fly call? Good enough?

I don’t know what your deal is. It sounds like you didn’t enjoy the regular season and were just waiting for the other shoe to drop all year. If that’s the case I sincerely feel sorry for you.
