8/13 - Nationals vs Orioles

[dtk9119]

Everytime I want to blow a gasket over this team losing to the Nats I think about NYY losing by double digits to CWS. Orioles should be better than this however.

This lineup strikes the fear into no one anymore 

I understand why the pitching totally collapsed but not the offense and defense.

Gunnar's HR swing is MIA and has been for a while...

Ditto Adley and Mountcastle.

We're going to need at least one of Mountcastle, O'Hearn,  or Rutschmann to go on a power hitting heater in the last month and into the playoffs.   We can't put the run production all on Santander and a couple of rookies.

Losing is contagious.

Thanks to Rogers, Woods OPS is over .800.  He must be a fan.

Let’s face it…….the offense cannot always be asked to overcome crappy pitching.   Slooooow pitches.  Slow movement to the plate.    I have seen better in JUCO ball.   Who picked this guy?

They just lost a game 2-1 because the offense was terrible and have now scored 2 runs in 5 innings at home against the 3rd worst team in the NL. They aren’t going to overcome crappy pitching every game but they also have a habit of no showing multiple games per week which doesn’t help.

His changeup is so damn inconsistent. But if that’s all you’re throwing…what exactly are you changing up? Take him out.

Palmer with incredulous "look at this"

I would have rather traded for Fred Rogers and his neighborhood than this.

78 pitches and Rogers is out of the game ...cant give us 6, nor can he give us a clean inning...the very definition of mediocre.
