Why do fingers need to be pointed when it’s obvious this team can’t overcome the sheer amount of injuries that it’s suffered?
Also didn’t say you said you wanted it to smell.
I mean we literally have 12 out of the opening day 26 hopeful contributors (13 if you include Felix) on the IL. I know every team deals with injuries- we were very fortunate last year on that end. But losing nearly 50% of your roster, many of which are big time contributors, is going to put us at a big time talent deficit.
Westburg/Mounty/Urias/Kjerstad/Mateo instead of Rivera/Soto/Maton/Jimenez/Mayo is a huge dropoff.
Bradish/Means/Wells/Grayson led to a huge dropoff.
Coulombe/Webb instead of Smith/Selby/Irvin/Bowman etc is a huge drop off.
Our saving grace is that 6-7 of these guys could be coming back in the next 2 weeks.
Again Cano has been mediocre since the first half of last year. Perez on most days people on here are ready to move on from when reading this site. Lopez looked good for about a half of season before the league caught up to him. Voth and Watkins blah. I even admitted to Bradish and Columbe as being good. As Tony P said himself the Orioles are probably no better or no worst with these kind of guys then any other team.
