Doesn’t matter if they score 4 or 6 if the O’s can’t score more than 1, though.

Yep, that's why I didn't even care much about the 2 runs last inning.. we can't even match 4 runs let alone 6.

Just tired of the O’s pitchers walking guys who are hitting .215!  Pretty much inexcusable. Then Tate leaves one right down the middle.  Pretty bad.

Hope they get out of this funk sooner rather than later. The offensive performance the last 2 games isn't going to make a contender. It's so frustrating how feast or famine this team is.

What about the 2 before them?

With the way this score is and how bad our offense is looking, it might make sense to extend Tate and just let the chips fall where they may.

It doesn't look like we are winning this game. Better to think long term and save the bullpen as much as possible.

Blue Jay's bringing guys throwing 99 in the 6th inning and we're bringing in Dillon Tate and his AAA stuff.

I realize the game threads are a place to vent but I doubt you'll find many Toronto fans who are thrilled that Nate Pearson, once a future ace, has ended up as a middle reliever.

The offense has a 45% whiff rate and only one hit ball harder than 93 MPH that wasn’t by Mountcastle. Also a 30% chase rate. Just needed to split these last 2 games but the offense just did not show up against one of the worst pitching staffs in the league.

Just an absolute wet the bed last 2 days. Flashbacks to the Cardinals series..

A two game losing streak is wetting the bed? Tough crowd.

    • They also haven’t announced the times, yet.
    • Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.
    • You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.
    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
