They Can't Hit. They Can't Field. They Can't Pitch. What Is Going On?

[ORIOLE33]

It's looking more and more like, if they don't get as hot as the Rangers were last October, there's little to no chance this team is winning anything this year. 
 

How could a team that's 65-45 become so unbearable to watch?

They did just win 4 out of 5. Cleveland just a match up nightmare for us 

[ORIOLE33]

The only saving grace right now and it's probably only temporary is that the Yankees have been almost as bad as we have. 

[Say O!]

Don’t we have game threads for these type of rants?

Most teams have been a matchup problem for this team as of late. Against teams not in the AL East, we've been dreadful.

Plus their acquisition Jazz is on fire

Just an ugly, ugly stretch. 

They aren’t as bad as they’ve looked for the last… month?

[Camden_yardbird]

Every year there is a team that just has your number.  That's Cleveland this year.  It was the Rangers last year.  It was the Royals back with the last playoff team.

They better figure it out because they will see tge Indians in the playoffs.

Early returns on trades are looking like trash right now with Sotos outing tonight.

I learned that lesson the hard way tonight

[RavensNOsGuy]

Looking like a 2-8 type of road trip. 4 freaking hits tonight. Some of their “stars” aren’t really stars or anything close to it. More like a flash in the pan last year. Oh and the pitching is trash.

This team has just been decimated by injuries.  They should still be playing better than this and I think they will, but the margin of error has gotten a lot thinner.

They have scored 86 runs in the 15 games since all star break. Which is 5.733 runs a game and higher than their season average.

That can be a little misleading. I get the sense that they'll score a ton for a couple of games and get shutdown for the next two or three and it averages itself out.

Well is that's the case if the Orioles do make the playoffs better hope someone else knocks them off or it will be a repeat of 1997.
