Oh well, another bullpen loss. Sucks because the pen is the only thing keeping this team from being special. Unfortunately, we knew that coming into the season. When you lose Bautista, you don't replace him with a 36-year old has been.

At least it's being exposed early. Hopefully, they won't wait until the deadline to try to fix it.

That was practically ball game.  Historically, a home team who starts their half of an extra inning tied, with a guy on second and no one out wins ~82% of the time.

Teams have caught on to the Orioles aggressive approach.  They are going to need to adjust.

Orioles are going to win this!!

Sweep streak over. 

Deservedly so if that happens. Team at some point has to prioritize winning, not the veteran’s egos/feelings.

He didn't even try.  There's a lot of waiver wire fodder and AAAA arms out there.

Mullins swung at ball 4 .

[Tony-OH]

Cowser K's again.

O'Hearn swings at a ball up and in on 1-0 when Mateo had 3B stolen.

Mullins pops up like a little league hitter after swinging at ball 4 on a ball well inside

Gunnar rolls over and grounds into a FC

That is how your offense comes up small with a runner on 2nd and no outs.

 

[Aristotelian]

Menses does K a lot. 

[Moose Milligan]

At least they don’t have to face Abrams this inning.  

[dtk9119]

How fast do they steal 3rd?

[Moose Milligan]

Quick out.

Maybe DL Kimbrel or something, I dunno. If you’re walking the #9 hitter, you prob need a reset somewhere.

I don't want Kimbrel as even a mop up pitcher he's only used to pitching one inning. Put him on the IL and try to salvage what's left of him (if anything is left) as a pitcher.
