Tired of Smoltz acting like that was a good pitch.

Eflin (or any Orioles pitcher) has zero margin for error right now.

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.

This game looks to be over now. 

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

I wish that would help. This team lost it's swagger. It lost it's confidence. It lost it's ability to win series.

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.

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.

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.

He;s out... of course. Couldn't beat out that noodle arm throw.
