It's impossible to be a voice of reason in the game thread. It's like....nobody has ever watched baseball before, but it's every day. I like watching it with everyone too, though.

Dontrelle Willis calling Gunnar Henderson's defense almost Jeteresque makes me want to turn this broadcast off.

About as shocking as you complaining about the team through 2 innings.

I typically don't get too up and arms about the other team scoring because afterall, they get paid too. But yeah, it's pretty darn disappointing to see Burnes give that right back up.

we struggle every single night no matter who we play...absurd...as I see it now, this is not a deep in the playoffs team...too many holes..in the lineup, the pen, and even our starters cant even get us 6 innings...this is a recipe for disaster...

Dang it. Not very ace like here. Team gives you a 4-0 lead you don't go back out there and crap the bed. Really, really weak for an "ace" to have this happen to a bad team on top of it. 

And against a really weak hitting team in the White Sox. The Yankees will eat Burnes alive if he pulls this crap against them.

I sure hope Burnes doesn't crap the bed like this in the postseason 

Tonight sure doesn't make you feel too good about him with a lead. How can you trust the guy when he's given a 4-0 lead and goes out and walks two and give up three runs?

Everyone has a bad night. Everyone. I wouldn't read too much into this.

Burnes needs to buck up buttercup. Given a 4-0 lead against the White Sox, you shut the door.

Burnes only at 81 pitches.  Have to think that he starts the sixth.  Would be nice if the guys would see some pitches and give him a little break.

I'm hoping Burnes settles down and pitches the sixth inning with the Orioles getting some more runs. It's almost like Burnes went on cruise control last inning.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.

      Looking for a big performance from him next week. This is why he’s here.
