I'm embarrassed for the team. I'm turning off the game already. I'll resume watching them after they're done being cowed by first-place teams. Maybe I can watch the Astros series.

That's not how a fan acts, sorry.

we might  get swept..and then we play the Yankees in NY..

I actually think regardless of this series they will play the Skanks well. Much better match up.

Pitch to Bohm was 2 strike slider down and away. Hr was up some but away. Not like meatballs sitting middle-middle. 

Yeah I gripe about Grayson as much as anyone, but he has been throwing good stuff up there so far.

Two good hitters at the plate, it's not like they hit great pitches, the slider was belt high spinning just off the corner, it wasn't a great pitch to Sosa, he just hit a ball up a bit off the plate.

Exactly. This team, while very talented, is still very young and just continues to come up small offensively in big situations. 

Relax guys. We are 4th in the league in scoring, 3rd in OPS, 1st in HR. Most teams would kill for our offense. We're not going to win every game or even every series.

Then we’ll get swept in NY too right Roy, FFS

All Im saying is we havent played many really good teams and this is how we measure ourselves...and it appears that these teams match up better against us..

We took 3/4 against Yanks earlier this season.

    • Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.
    • Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.  
    • It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though. 
    • Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles
    • Dam the mosquito is in my Jelly. Please go away
    • Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?
    • Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
