Man, he keeps this up he may only have thrown like 65 pitches when Hyde pulls him.  🙂

They scored 15 runs in the first two games.  They're not going to score like that every game.  It's the bullpen that needs to step up.

Clutch hitting I said.  There have been a lot of times when they needed the break through hit and didn’t get it.

Double down voting you.

Hey, the O’s have been 20 games above 500 for seemingly months now. On 6/9, they were 20 over. After tonight, 8/17, they are tracking to be 20 over. It’s over 9 weeks of average play. Now with more injuries. It’s just so meh.

I've had an epiphany tonight.

I was looking at the lineups on the jumbotron and realized, holy crap, the Red Sox are a much better offense. 

Then add in they are not clutch  in any way, the bullpen is a dumpster fire of rejects and has beens, and the rotation is anchored by a guy who got shelled after his team fought back for him, and it made me realize.

This team is not really very good. Like, this not a losing streak or guys struggling,  this team is a .500 team at best that played well early, bit the regression is real.

Oh, and the fact this team does not come back is just another point.

Again. They’re down last night and keep battling back, but never enough to win. Then tonight they give up 3 runs through 7 and the offense scores 1 run with 3 hits. They aren’t the problem but that’s the frustration. The timing is awful. 

There's really no such thing as offensive timing I don't think.  Boston's pitching just happens to be much better tonight.

That's a tought play for a 2nd basemen who's still learning how to play 2nd base. Especially for a guy who wasn't gifted with the same arm strength some other shortstops have.

We also aren’t sure his arm is healthy.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
