They're really doing everything wrong at the moment. 

 

They need to try to get Gunnar to stop trying to do too much.  He should have been prepared at 2B for a potential double play(not sure they would have gotten it, but he eliminated any chance).

Yes they are not playing well but if you step back a little bit they just went 3-3 on a road trip.  Not a disaster.

I'm good.  Gunnar sometimes tries to do a bit more than he needs to. 

 

I feel better about the team just having Norby hopefully getting some regular reps at 2B and Westburg at 3B.

At work so I haven't seen the play.   What I assume from what I have read is bad send to Mullins, he was going to be out by a mile, got caught in a rundown ... OK, that happens.

But to get him in the rundown AND get Mountcastle at 2nd?   Had to be some really stupid baserunning by Mounty, right?

No rundown. I think Ryan reacted late.

They were outplayed and barely won one game against the worst team in the NL after a comedy of mistakes. They are 12-16 in their last 28 games. Not a disaster, because it's just a game. Just pretty bad.

I think he was probably shocked that Mullins was going and the throw went home, leading to his late reaction heading to 2nd.

Good grief! I am at work and last time I checked the O's had a six run lead and seemed to be totally cruising. I'm so, so glad I wasn't following the game when they blew the lead. My place of work would not tolerate a screaming, total meltdown rant.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      By Brian88 · Posted

      I was thinking the same thing regarding the short possessions. The lack of 4th quarter offense had played a big part in these late game collapses.  This team investing in a RB like Henry makes no sense with how the coaches run this offense. That money would've been much better spent on someone who would've kept Faaele on the sideline.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.

      And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.

      The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.

      It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective.

      Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.

      It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:
