This does not look like a pitcher that Mountcastle would be good against though.

Slider breaking outside of the zone for the K was a predictable pitch.

All 3 guys would’ve walked had they just not swung at all. Awful at bats, awful past 3 games by this lineup. But hey, thank goodness they scored 8 runs against the Astros when they were already down by 11.

Mullins got screwed on when it should have been a 2-0 count instead of 1-1 on a pitch at least 6 inches off the plate.

I want you to ask yourself honestly if it really would have mattered. Ced is an automatic out bud.

Both he and Westie whiffed on what would have been ball four. Can't blame that on the umpire.

I mean you knew the formula, this is what we had to avoid.  

Have to get a lead against Cleveland before they bring go to the bullpen. Cleveland's starting pitchers the next two games haven't been very good this season time for the offense to break out.

And call up Mayo make room for him somehow.

Losing 4 in a row is a serious red flag. Need to do something to make sure they start winning again.

Every team will probably lose 4 in a row at some point. They lost 4 in a row last year. The '01 Mariners lost 4 in a row. Bats absolutely need to wake up though

At some point there gonna get tired of the taste of losing.

Are they? We didn't seem to get tired of it during the long dark. You can't take winning for granted; all it takes is a bad turn and your team may never see daylight again.

    • 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.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
