Young players. Get used to it. Adjust your expectations for this season.

Yeah I'm starting to come to that realization. A shame they wasted the year with Burnes

The Hilton down by the 2 stadiums is one of the nicest Hiltons I've ever stayed in.

Me too.  And that park that surrounds the R&R Hall of Fame was really enjoyable to stroll through.

Kremer deserved better. Bad play by Mayo and I have no clue what that throw was. Second game in a row he was let down by the defense.

Throw was garbage, but didn't matter. Cowswr needs to make that play.

That is 100% Cowser's ball. Just a clown show play

 Ben trying to blame Mayo on that is BS. 

Cowser should have been calling for that. He has to catch that. 

This Orioles defense just sucks just like their hitting and pitching. 

Sick and tired of this crap.

That was Cowser’s all the way.

Aren't there 7 outcomes?

Hit

Error

Fielder's Choice

Walk

HBP

Catcher's Interference

K reach 1B on WP/PB

I thought they were only three: Homer walk strikeout.

But then I realized that that’s a reference to the pitcher three outcomes

well rats I guess we have three more to go

    • I have a feeling that Irvin will do better in another organization than he did with us.  It seemed like the O’s were trying to make him into something he wasn’t, chasing higher velo, etc.   Also, I don’t think Brandon Hyde really believed in him.  We’ll see next year.  
    • Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?
    • Royals lose, now 3 games back of us in the loss column.  Twins lose, now 5 games back of us in the loss column. 
    • Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.
    • I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.     
    • No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.  
    • Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!
