This team needs the obvious jolt and the timing for the injured cavalry coming back is hopefully soon but time is short and we need wins. I have to think Kimbrel at this point is viewed as "washed" by his teammates and just adds to this negative karma that exists even when they see him in the dugout and not even pitching. Time for addition by subtraction now for both him and Smith. We are at the point of definition of insanity territory by hanging onto both.
My hot take is that we are at adjustment time. The Orioles figured out an approach that was working. They weren’t walking as much but were putting up a ton of runs. Other teams adjusted to the approach. The question now is whether the Orioles can adjust back. So far, not so good.
Yep, this is my theory. The back is enough of an annoyance so he unconsciously changes things. That’s why I agree with this to give him an IL stint to rest up. It’s all about the playoffs at this point. Get people healthy.
Eloy only hits when it doesn’t matter. Dude has negative clutch. He’s anti-clutch. He’s slow, has no power, can’t field, I’m not really sure what he does well to be honest.
