Dang it that was a meatball.

Slater is an extremely poor man’s Austin Hayes.

What evidence is there that Coby can handle 1B? I’m not saying down the road he can’t but now?

No evidence.  Just that it doesn’t seem like a tough position to learn. 

[Say O!]

Caballaro is so obnoxious.  So is Siri.

Why in the heck would Burch Smith throw a cement mixer slider to him?

[Surhoffan17]

Knew Burch was ready to crack.

Screw around long enough at the plate and eventually you lose.  Hit the damn ball, Orioles!

It’s not easy. Just ask Ron Washington.

I have no problem with Urias when Mayo is sucking and both are RH. I don't like Mullins and Slater together with the opener because not having a defensive guy kind of limits what you can do with pinch hitters. Honestly I wish we would use openers more, it does create some problems for the opposing team

If they just started Alexander they be doing lot better.  Instead they just got down 3-0. I don’t hate openers but it seems most the time it just one of your worst relievers.

Since the ASB last year, Austin Hays has been a poor man’s Austin Hays.

4-0 early lead with Burnes and you can't hold or extend it. Talk about lack of clutch ability.

[OriolesMagic83]

Bullpen is just too weak.  Besides having no closer, don't even have even one dominant shutdown setup guy  I would say Coulombe if he was healthy.

Rasmussen isn't really an ordinary opener situation.

I'm not even mad at Smith. Giving up one run isn't the end of the world, it's just that we had so many chances to win this game.

What a crappy pen we have...
