They need swing and miss in the pen, I'd rather see Kimbrel than Cano.

Or one of the SD guys..,

Outside of Suarez they have a bad pen, we made them look like world beaters.

Another pretty unsatisfying win... but we'll take it any way we can get it right now. 

Aside from the team struggling in all aspects they haven't been getting many breaks and got absolutely no help from the umpires today.  McCann ground ball down the third base line in particular looked like it went over the bag.  Ball that landed on home plate in the 9th would have been an out... etc, etc.   When it rains it pours.  

Orioles could also learn a few things from Padres hitters.  Good things happen when you work counts and put the ball in play... which is exactly what the O's did in the 3rd and scored 6 runs w/o a HR. 

Norby looks overmatched at the plate as does Kjerstad at times.  Not sure what the solution is there.
