I dunno but this is what comes to mind for me when I think of this team right now:

 

 

Cause they’re straight up JUNK. If you found a baseball team in Stanford’s lot it’d be the Orioles right now.

 

Pretty sure that's the song that plays in Elias' office and he scans the waiver wire, AAA opt outs, and his trading deadline deals for Eloy Jimenez and Rogers.

Elias doesn't believe in drafting pitchers.  To him to do it is like the plague.

SIGBOT says its dangerous but drafting Donta Williams types in the 4th round are a better way to improve.

When you have game after game where you have 3 or fewer hits, at some point you have to wonder what value our 2 hitting coaches and "offensive strategy coach" are adding.

We’re third in runs per game! I saw it here!

They brought in this whole VAA thing and its been an utter disaster throughout the whole organization.

If Hyde is not gone after this season then at least the entire hitting philosophy needs to be..

You've got to be kidding me. Nothing surprises me anymore.

This listless performance comes from the top. Hyde needs to go

You can't blame poor results on a manager, but this team has been lifeless and dead for 2 months.  There's no energy and I just feel like some guys are just going thru the motions.  You can't convince there is the same effort the O's players put into game during the stretch run of 2023.  I think Hyde might need to go too.  Go ahead and flame me.

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
