4/3 vs. Royals


Recommended Posts

I don't what's going on. But we look outclassed tonight.

We are struggling to have competitive at bats while they are getting men on every inning. Has their pitcher even broken a sweat and pitched out of the wind up yet?

Gray, rainy, and the Orioles looking like absolute dog-poo the last three nights (How many innings have they led in this series, like one?) is no way to go through a week in Baltimore.

Add in the Angels absolutely crushing the Orioles on Sunday, and yeah, no fun in birdville.

Well this is the soft part of the schedule so you have to expect this sort of thing.

 

And yes that is a shot at everyone that dismissed the early season competition because this team won 101 games last year.

Rather it be in April and not October. 😂

I never like playing “bad” teams early on. It’s when there has been no attrition and teams aren’t buried in the standings yet.  
 

Many years bad Orioles teams had decent April’s.

You are right. Gotta show up every night.

Left-handed pitchers have embarrassed the Orioles for years and Elias has yet to solve this problem. How can that be? 

He literally has SIGBOT building him lineups and even his right-handers don't hit left's well.

Then when they do get a guy who hits lefties well (Stowers) they bury him because they don't like left-lefty matchups?

Can we just try putting names in a hat and pulling out the names for the next lineup and tell Sig and Eve to reprogram their computer?

    • I know the Brewers are in 1st, but I wonder if they'd be interested in trading Devin Williams if it was primarily MLB pieces being swapped. Looking at their roster, I feel they could use an OF and maybe a 1B/DH lefty bat.  When the time comes, I wonder if something built around around Williams for Ohearn, Santander could come into play? Depends on performance and need closer to All Star Break.  If Milwaukee thinks they can make a run and Williams was healthy, Id probably not trade him
    • I have long said that baseball is the ultimate reality show because you just never know what will happen, what personalities will emerge, what fresh talent will shine through.    Very curious to see the show Netflix is doing with the Red Sox this year. I don’t think it will be the last of its kind because behind the scenes of a MLB team for a season is endless drama. 
    • And it really goes hand in hand. He is hanging in there more this year in ABs, getting into deeper counts so he gets a chance to hit some mistakes. That AB last night was the perfect example of it. If my memory serves he laid off one, and fouled off one prior to the hanger.
    • He is having a better year statistically. He doesn’t have a better arm. 
    • One thing I love about baseball is its constant capacity to surprise you.   I feel like in other sports, players kind of are who they are.   You don’t see basketball players score 15 points per game one year and 27 the next, dropping back to 21 the following year.  You don’t see healthy wide receivers go from 60 catches to 100, then back to 70.   Hockey players don’t score 25 goals one season and 50 the next, then 35.    But in baseball, crazy fluctuation and guys coming out of nowhere is kind of par for the course.  Sure, there are some players who are very consistent from year to year, but it feels like team success is built largely on having several guys suddenly have career years, or players popping out of nowhere.    For the Orioles, nobody had Mateo doing what he’s doing.  Maybe 5% of fans (if that) could have even told you that Albert Suarez was on our roster when spring training started.  By the same token, I’m sure nobody foresaw Hays and Mullins being as awful as they’ve been.   Watching Tampa, last year a whole bunch of their hitters had career years.  This year, most of those same guys are crapping the bed.  But will it continue?  Stay tuned! Anyway, I love the unpredictable nature of the game and can’t wait to see what will happen next.
