Burnes just being outpitched. By Spencer Arighetti

The last time he started and gave up 8 runs I would agree with you. Tonight, giving up 2 runs so far isn't being "outpitched". Our lineup has no capability to hit off of a league average MLB pitcher having a decent night. None.

It's been true for years: we are a mistake hitting team. If their pitcher is throwing competitive pitches, mostly strikes, good velo, a little movement or a little deception, we have no chance. Other teams that go to the playoffs and win championships find ways to hit off of those pitchers. We cannot.

Of course.

To be fair, Burnes is not facing our offense. 

But the Orioles offense scores 2+ runs more than any other team?

Mullins gets an occasional HR and yes, is a fine defender, but he simply isnt a very good hitter any more..and hasn't been all season...we need an alternative next year...Cowser is back in another strikeout slump...

Gonna start streaming starters against the O’s.

Oh for lead off is killing us.

[OriolesMagic83]

Cowser 3rd K of the night.  Never heard that before.

He should be batting 7th, not leading off IMHO.

Arighetti has a much easier lineup to pitch to .

[casadeozo]

So many poor approach hitters in this lineup.

Go out and find a LF or CF in FA or trade. LF has to cover ton of ground.

Look at the stats after the All Star Break. Like I said, it's as if they trained for an 81 game season.

[Surhoffan17]

We seem so cooked. Offensively, we feel very sub mediocre.

That mascot commercial was funny

Yeah I was being sarcastic because they’re clearly an issue. They just suck right now.
