3.1. 10 hits 4 earned. 

The O’s website will say he scattered 10 hits

Never expected to win more than one game in this series. The offense continues to be a dumpster fire that will probably lose 2 of 3 to a bad Rockies team. There is no end in sight to this garbage.

Yeah, definitely Povich's fault that this team has one hit through 4 innings. He's a rookie pitching against one of the best teams in baseball. He gets a break from me for that.

This POS offense does not. 

This is fair. The offense is completely inept right now. I don’t expect much from Povich but this offense is garbage right now. 

[gshepherd7]

It’s the same story every game now. We just don’t hit and as a result every mistake in the field gets magnified.

I blame the offense more than him. They suck. I still don’t see how they can keep running Povich out there with a 6.40 ERA and K-BB% of 4.

Burch Smith, Soto and Kimbrel.  Maybe the O's can lose 31-3.

Did we sign Justin Tucker?

[Tony-OH]

Down 4-0 is a good place to use Burch Smith. This would be a good place to put out a long reliever. Oh yeah, the Orioles don't believe in that.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I say let Burch Smith try and finish this one out. Salvage the bullpen for this weekend's series. It's uncertain how much longer Smith is going to stick around anyways.

The good news is it's 11:30 and I can go to bed and not be up feeling like I should still check in to this hard to watch team right now.

As fun as the 2023 Orioles team was to watch, this team is as frustrating to watch as any Orioles team that I can remember.

But hey, the orange colored glass wearers will point to season stats to tell us the offense is not really that bad.

Amen!  Super frustrating especially the second half. Last year was just such a fun season to watch. Things just seem to go their way all season minus the postseason of course, but exact opposite now. 

[O's84]

This team is just awful right now. 

[Moose Milligan]

LITTLE LEAGUE!!!! LITTLE F’ING LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aristotelian]

Pathetic

[O's84]

The O's defense lately has been utterly pathetic.

Povich on track to throw a 219 pitch complete game.

"Dalkowski threw 283 pitches in a complete game at Aberdeen one night, but a few days later 120 pitches only got him out of the second inning."

This team is playing more like a cellar dweller than a contender. Embarrassing.
