[HowAboutThat]

By the way, there are a lot of typos in that last comment, but I’m doing a mild jog so I’m going to let you guys figure them out. Enjoy!

Cole Irvin is comically bad. 

Your life is on the line, you would rather have Irvin or Akin?

Really awful offense.  2 runs in the last 3 games?  Are these opposing pitchers that good?

Both left handed...

This team is a lot more talented than the 2005 squad, but there are issues that need to be addressed or we're going to see a lot more sloppy baseball. The bullpen needs a couple high leverage relievers and the starting rotation needs a quality veteran. The lineup needs a couple tweaks and the defense has been bad recently.

Yeah, def better than 2005...but too many of these problems aren't going away. A few trades will help, but if a team can't score against lefties, they don't win. And we hold our breath every non-Burnes and non-GROD start.

Damn man, that’s honestly a tough question. They are both minor leaguers 

[C Taylor]

So the Cubs are going to sweep us at home?  What is going on?

[Gurgi]

We will never score again.  This is what we will do in the first round of the playoffs.  Not score and pitch badly and be all sad and sitting at home watching Seinfeld in October.  Crap.

[TopGunnar]

Whoever is making these analytical lineups need to reevaluate. Simply can’t put this much dead weight in the same game.

I’m not sure we make the playoffs Gurgi. And that’s not being over dramatic. I think we have a really rough 2nd half

[Gurgi]

Is Hays and Mullins both playing?  That is so 2022.  Neither one has anything left.

Lol I agree.

[CynBeth]

I want Vespi back. He only had that one bad game thought he had pitched well other than that.

Kremer pitched poorly game 1.  In game 2 we went 0-11 w/ RISP.  In this game the defense turned a 1-0 game into a 3-0 game.  Now it's 5-0 after Irvin giving up a HR to struggling Dansby Swanson.

[dystopia]

Man we're a disaster right now.

[TopGunnar]

Oriole fans are too passive and nice but I hope the fans at the yard tonight boo the hell out of the team tonight.
