Close losses, but two winnable games. Oh well. Both losses ended up on the bullpens after having to cover down on the "bullpen game".  Elias needs to upgrade the arms out there.

Povich is 24. Looks like he’s 15.

Povich is thinking we caught those balls down in the minors.

Sanders and Mansolini need to get with their fielders right now and fix the communication.

Nah.  Santander needs to go hard after balls and catch them.

I think Povich will get another start..but I really feel his walks killed his outing...I've seen worse though...

Toronto is also not a good hitting team.   It was a good team for his first start, but he blew it with the walks.

I'm also just unimpressed with Povich.  Like, he's done some good things but he, in a weird way, reminds me of Bedard...like, before Bedard learned how to trust his stuff and was nibbling and walking people and getting hit.  

On the bright side he’s given up really weak contact with an xBA of just .162. But he’s not getting many whiffs and isn’t throwing enough strikes. 

The game isn’t over but no shot they should split this series after the first two games. Toronto is not good but the offense has been awful the last two games. Toronto has the second worst xwOBA and the 5th worst wOBA in the league and meanwhile the O’s have scored 2 runs in the last 14 innings and none in the last 12. If you’re looking for a reason the Orioles are falling behind NYY it’s the fact they aren’t taking advantage against bad teams. 19-13 against teams below .500. NYY is 25-10. CLE is 23-12. PHI is 40-17.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
