Haha it’s comical, this team has 0 chance of doing shit in October.

 

If they make the playoffs.

The Astros might easily sweep us. Then we're at the Dodgers. We're in trouble.

It's really brutal watching them.  It's like a ticking time bomb and it's not a matter if, it's a matter of when everything gets blown to hell.

That’s the problem I have. It feels like no lead is safe.

That’s story of this game. Pen is biggest issue but today is all about bats.  

Yup. We had every opportunity at the end to make it a 5-3 game. One big hit and Ohearn, Adley, Gunnar all fumbled.

Ok, we can’t use Seranthony , Soto or Kimbrel in leverage situations.   What do you try now.

Elias' acquisitions for the bullpen in the offseason and trading deadline are not exactly good.

I think we all know why Dominguez was available for Hays. Kimbrel is who he is, and let's not forget the amazing Fuji last year. 

But the Orioles pitching coaches will fix them.. lol

Elias and company seem a little clueless at times.

I don't know how he was showboating there.  

He didn’t have to throw at full speed. He could have at least slowed down. And he threw at about a 45 degree angle to his direction of movement. None of that was necessary. And many of his bad throws have resulted from that kind of unnecessary full speed throw on the fly kind of play.

Sometimes there’s no choice, I get that. But frequently,he does.

This BP is in serious, serious trouble. This is not a team going anywhere. 

We are in serious trouble, way too many injured pitchers starting and BP, lack of timely hitting!!!

At least we get the Rockies and White Sox after that.

All goes back to the off-season when EVERYONE knew this team needed BP help and Elias just continues with his reclamation projects. Biting him in the arse which is well deserved.

What do we do now? Go back to Cano?

Cano struggles to get out lefties this year too. Not sure I'd feel good about a closer that lefties slash .254/.315/.463/.778 off of. 

Your guess is as good as mine who they should use. Right now, Hyde has no choice but to use these guys. Maybe give Perez a shot? He pitches well in high leverage.

What a pathetic excuse of a bunch of guys I'm seeing.  And I'm not talking about the O's, I'm talking about some of you so called 'Fans'.  With the amount of injuries this team has had, it's a miracle we're even competitive.  I know it's frustrating to lose to a walkoff, but to call this team a pile of trash, after they're battling every day is a joke.

You gotta get more from offense but Mannea pitched a great game and used the gigantic strike zone to his advantage.  The other teams have players that are paid professionals too.

This is true too. When was the last time this team had a MONSTER hit to go up 2 3 runs? I can't remember
