Saturday 6/22 vs. Houston

[Moose Milligan]

Burnes through 7. He was good today, outside the couple mistakes he made.

I blame him for hitting .225 and he is very overrated on OH!!

Why O's84 are you confused?  It's the truth!

So your blaming him for not getting a hit that had a .790 xBA on because he's batting .225 on the year and his 10th on the team in rWAR during his rookie year?

The Astros have only 5 hits today. Just two of them were homers.

Yea overall Burnes hasn't been bad. Blanco has just been better and or the offense has stunk.

Still have a shot.. Pressly has had his issues this year

That’s right. 
 

I wouldn’t call him completely awful, there are certainly worse. But he grates for sure. 

Yeah, awful is not right. He has presence, he calls the game with some skill, he engages his cohorts decently enough, but Lordy he has no feel for just being in the moment and  letting the game be the game.

Bianco is out.

[DirtyBird]

Make Burnes go 8

Or, they're just taking this series. They scored 14 runs yesterday and they've played great defense, had good positioning, and Blanco had his A stuff. this has nothing to do with the Orioles giving anything away. 

The best teams are still going to lose 62 games a year!

I maintain, this staff has NOT pitched well, not in this series...or the one before...thats been the problem..

Extremely unlucky there. The pitching has not been great this series but I believe the O’s have had more hits, HR’s, and BB’s than the Astros this series. But there has been some poor sequencing and they are 4-18 with RISP while Houston is 8-18.

That's baseball.  Just hurts a lot less if you have Bradish.  Right now we have a #1, #3, and a bunch of back of the rotation starters and were losing with our #1 and #3.

Need to get to Pressley here with the top of our order.

[Tony-OH]

This ump is brutal. Just so inconsistent.

[Roy Firestone]

I knew this was a trap series...

[casadeozo]

Do we think Burnes comes back for the 8th?

Do you ever read the content on this site, and what people actually say?  The Cowser criticism is so thick here that you have wear special boots to be able to wade through it.

Look at Gunnar taking those pitch just off the plate, you know where some posters think he has a hole?
