I think Mayo would be lightning if given a chance...

But the two places he would play at 3rd and Dh are hitting. That’s my point.

They’re just not even enjoyable to watch at this point considering it seems like either their offense, pitching, or defense is horrendous any given game. No consistency at all, they constantly shoot themselves in the foot, and you’re just waiting for them to find a way to lose right now.

You said that yesterday and I proved it false .  We lead in homers and are top 10 in hits, doubles and triples.  This is not just a home run offense.  

What percentage of our runs come from homeruns? I am speaking specifically of scoring runs. I dont have those numbers but I would imagine the percentage of runs scored from the homerun for us are pretty high, regardless of any other hits.

Yep, it's been noticable to the eye test and the stats back it up.

His defensive decline is definitely an issue.

Arm strength on throws isn’t there nor is his wrist strength for framing.

This offense sucks like the last few Buck teams. It’s a complete joke. Score 8 or 9 once week then absolutely be atrocious the rest of the week. The worst decision of the offseason was whoever decided to change the hitting approach and hire the other hitting coach. F’ing terrible

As much as we like to critique the pitching of this team the hitting is every bit  guilty of this under 500 stretch since mid June as the pitching. Night in and night out it's such a struggle for them to score anymore 

[LookitsPuck]

Good grief this offense is so lost

A righthanded bat who has historically hit lefties very well.

A half decent corner outfielder.

With Kjerstad out, the Orioles face the choice against LHers of playing Slater or Mullins. Not a great choice.

I wasn’t expecting that.  It wasn’t just the strike out but good velocity and movement.  That stuff can play but he must not constantly get that.  

He must not be able to locate that slider. Was a nice pitch tho if he can figure it out.

[Emory Eagle]

Seems pretty easy to beat this team.  Just start any ol'lefty you have hanging around, and wait to break through the mediocre pitching.  

[Wavetrapper]

I never expected the offense to spiral downward like it has.  

[LookitsPuck]

Wicked curveball.

Roy, he was given a chance, he stunk. He will be back and he will be good, but maybe trust the team for not bringing him up in a hurry then sending him down to work some more.

Again none of that is true.

In Peterson’s defense, he’s actually a good lefty. Not as great as the O’s are making him look, but he’s good.
