Wow this offense stinks.

But they do work fast. Not a lot of that foul ball, take pitches, wear the opposing out nonsense.

if we lose tonight we are 4 and a half games behind the Yankees...no, the season isn't over, but the tough schedule is coming...

30 pitches in the first...

Looks like we will see Suarez today.  How many pitches did he throw yesterday?

On the bright side, the damage was limited to just 1 run.

I feel like the arm side run is much more pronounced since he cam back from injury.  Are you seeing that to?

Arm side run is good actually.  The problem is he can’t control it.  Release point, mechanics, potential injury… lots of possibilities.

White Sox know how to work a pitcher.

I think the pitchers is bringing it on himself. They even helped him out a few times.

Gunnar has got to get back to taking balls on the outside corner the other way.  He’s trying to pull everything with an upward launch angle and he’s just topping off anything on the outside portion of the plate.  The approach is bad.

Savant says he is going the other way about the same amount that he did last year.

I noticed it before, which I thought was due to the injury and when he came back it was still there. I have no idea, but he was billed as a fastball pitcher and last year the run value on it was -11. He's a changeup guy, that's the only good pitch he has.

I think the Orioles are finally being exposed as a HR or nothing team, and the pitching cant cover that every game...

We have a staff ERA this month of 2.74.  We have managed a 10 - 8 record 

[Roy Firestone]

How long do we go with Santander and Mullins?

Like it has NEVER happened in the history of MLB

Pretty sure the manager had the pitcher shot the last time.

[Billy F-Face3]

I want to get some base runners on base. I think we could steal easily on Clevinger.

Grayson has no command at all.

He struggles with FB control.  Once he figures that out he will be a top tier pitcher.

His FB has had very good stuff + numbers no?

In the last 10 games?

All his pitch values are positive. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/grayson-rodriguez-680570?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb
