Orioles are 13-17 in the last 30 games. Lousy. No doubt about it, and theres problems everywhere. But look at the Yankees. 8-17  in the last 25, and were swept in the Subway series vs. Mets for the first time in 11 years. Also The Red Sox were crushed tonight 20-7 to the Rockies. It's not good to compare your team to other struggling teams, but it's a little solace for the way we've been playing. At the rate we are going, you cant even count on Burnes to beat the Marlins tomorrow....we've been that bad.

The Orioles are struggling right now for the past month . I don’t know how or why they’re playing poorly but I do know it’s a long season.  Perhaps the position players might need days off .

Boone spewing the same nonsense he’s been saying for years yet at the same time it’s not like he has some magic words to turn a bunch of .650 ops hitters into “savages in the box”.

I’m glad they keep him and Cash around; at least for now cause the heat has to finally be on.

This isn’t making me feel better.

Both Boston and Tamp have played well over their last 30 games while the Orioles and Yankees have been pretty bad.

Both the Orioles and Yankees are flawed teams but they both have some talent struggling right now too. Both will make the playoffs, but yeah, it has not been good for either for more than a few weeks.

Today feels like an inflection point. Win and we salvage a 3-3 road trip that despite being disappointing wouldn’t be the end of the world. And would have a 2 game lead somehow. Lose and the wheels could really fall off. Padres will be no easy task regardless of today but they have been heating up and will certainly be able to score some runs against our pitching. We have to get the bats going starting today.

We are very fortunate right now the yanks are a complete disaster. They led 7-4 after Judge hit the longest home run I’ve seen at Fenway and manage to lose 9-7.

Craig Holmes and Clay Kimbrel are killing both the Yankees and the Orioles.

Just to broaden the view a bit further (from our 4-6 record last 10 games), the recent play of some other contenders is also uninspiring: 

NYY 4-6
BOS 4-6
CLE 5-5
SEA 2-8
PHL 3-7
ATL 3-7
MIL 5-5

Win a few, lose a few: It happens. It's baseball.

(That said, let's go get us a real closer, and add Mayo's bat to the mix!)

Some perspective... Other teams that are 4-6 over their last 10 games:

Yankees, 2nd in the East.

Red Sox, 3rd in the East and one of the hottest teams in MLB.

Guardians, 1st in the Central.

Twins, 2nd in the Central, virtual lock for the playoffs.

Mariners (2-8), 2nd in the AL West, contender.

Phillies, 1st in the NL East, best record in baseball.

Braves (3-7), 2nd in the NL East, should make the playoffs.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.

      Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.

      Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday. I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur. The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th. Let's get a sweep, guys.

      I don’t care what Slater did before he came to us this season. Just like I didn’t care what Hicks did before he came to us last year.  Since we acquired Slater he has a .707 OPS vs LHP and Cowser has a .500 OPS vs LHP.  It’s a coin flip. If we stick to what we’ve done, then it will be Slater. He hasn’t not started versus a LH SP since we acquired him.  I’m good with him or Cowser. Mullins is a lock. If I had to bet I’d think the lineup will be, 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Westburg 2B R 3. Santa RF S 4. Mounty 1B R 5. Adley DH S 6. Slater LF R 7. Urias 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. McCann C R
