We should not trade a key bat. (Mayo) for a pitcher, because we need hitting as much as pitching!!

The O's have scored the second most runs in baseball without Mayo (in two fewer games).

How exactly do they need hitting?

We only scored 2 runs in 18 innings!

Because they are losing games due to, I don't know, not outscoring the opponents?  Like the last 2 nights?  But I guess since we are doing so good in overall scoring runs, we shouldn't try to improve or get better, huh?  Granted, we need more pitching help than we need hitting help, BUT we already have the hitting help in AAA, and just need to promote it.  The pitching help will have to come via trades, and that may take time.  But we can improve now with what we already have in the organization.  It kills me how so many point to our record or the team stats and act like we shouldn't try to get better just because we are doing good.  If we CAN improve then we SHOULD improve.

Can O Corn, you haven't noticed we have struggled scoring RISP? What we did earlier this year ain't helping us now?

Time to move on....bring up Mayo AND Norby. And trade for some pitchers.

This is quite bad . And I thought the Rangers series was the pits.

Clearly we have absolutely no need to improve the offense.  My bad for ever suggesting otherwise.

We won 3 out of 4 against the Rangers.

I am talking about last year’s playoff debacle

It's not a repeatable skill.

They didn't suddenly forget how to hit with RISP, this will come back around.

[Chelsea_Phil]

Yes they do.  It’s called ‘nerves’.  Some players tighten up (think a golfer trying to make a five footer to win a tournament), and some don’t.

Yea the pressure of a series against the Cubs when the team is in first place.

 

[Chelsea_Phil]

No, the pressure of trying to get a run when men are in scoring position.  This team is the anti-Edddiieeee team, players who freeze up when things get tight.
