Well they should. They are playing great and just absolutely spanking the Orioles. The Orioles look like a AAA team playing a major league team when they play the Guardians. 

They have no answers for them.

I don’t know what/who is to blame for that but they definitely have no oomph right now. Even when they were playing well earlier this season, it always felt like something was off. Just feels like they haven’t truly clicked at all this year which is weird to say for a team on a 95 win pace.

It was. 

That pitch is supposed to be outside.  The problem is those things against lefties go right into the wheelhouse.  Not that you can't go there but you really need to locate well in that area. 

Anyway's, let's see if the O's can answer.

The Gardenias' rookie hits a HR off an established ML pitcher, after a walk.

Our heralded rookies struggle to make contact against a rookie with no ML track record.

Hey, our veterans struggle to make contact, too.

This game looks to be over now. 

It doesn't take a stretch to picture this Cleveland team winning the World Series.

Doesn't take a stretch to see this Orioles squad is not. This is the transition year. Hopefully next year when some of these guys will have more experience. Right now, they have no idea how to break a slump and they don't have the players or coaches that have any magic pill. 

Someone needs to step up. So far, no one has over this stretch.

If I am the Os I fire Hyde ASAP and have a Buck Comeback. Show   He will get these guys going.  Save the season because it is fading fast. 

Like a Le Serrafim comeback show but different.

    • Holliday replacing Mateo has been a downgrade as well. Offensively and defensively. Just reality.  We miss those two RH bats and their defense. 
    • The Os haven’t had guys hitting on all cylinders at the same time in a while. We know about Adley’s struggles but Santander, while he has hit some homers, is hitting 212 with a 289 OBP since Aug 1. O’Hearn has a 631 OPS since Aug 1. Adley, OHearn and Santander are basically out machines right now. You also take away the injured guys and factor in the struggles of Holliday (playing everyday) and playing the guys we have to play and it’s no wonder the team is struggling. Right now, I think you the top 2 hitters in the lineup should be Gunnar and Mullins. Slater can be the second hitter vs lefties. After that, you don’t have anyone that stands out. Cowser is inconsistent and could lose ROY to Wells if he doesn’t pick it back up. And we have no idea what we are going to get from anyone else right now.    But I would at least have the table setters at the top of the lineup and just see how things go.
    • Mounty, Urias, Westburg and Kjerstad. That’s a lot more than you are saying especially since you are playing guys more often than you should (see OHearn), you are playing too many bad players because you don’t have anything else and you are also trying to play rookies at a time where they are learning but are being thrusted into more everyday roles. And that’s also assuming Adley is healthy. So basically, you have multiple “easy outs” in the lineup every game. Your lineup doesn’t have length. You have guys who are tired because they are playing so often.
    • If they need up playing KC it will feel like it. The bats obviously won’t hit, Witt will kill us and the whole team will run circles on our pitchers and Adley on the base paths 
    • What a feeling that would be!
    • Agreed- the only way for the offense to soar its time for these guys to start producing like they did in the minors/like they have been drafted and hyped to do. I know thats easier said than done, but over the past 5 years no team in baseball has had more prospect position player talent than the O's come up through the pipeline than the O's and its not really close. You cant expect every prospect to stick, but- Gunnar, Adley, Westburg, Cowser, Holliday, Mayo, Kjerstad, Ortiz, Hernaiz, Norby, Stowers. Thats an absurd about of talent to all make their debuts from 2022-2024.
