I meant Adley. 

They are basically interchangeable at the plate lately.

Rutschman looks like out of synch at the plate.

[O's84]

Remember when you were confident when Adley came to the plate?  Yeah, haven't felt that way in a long time.

No hits through 3! We HAVE to have the MLB record for number of times we've done this in a season.

I’m not giving up 

We can still get our 3 hits tonight

Beautiful upper cut, Adley! 

Normally I think people sound dumb when they demand the hitting coach(es) of their team be fired, but these guys cannot coach Adley anymore. He is a completely different guy from what has made him successful.

I’m the most negative Orioles fan in the world.  I actually hate this team and I bet good money on the dodgers tonight. With that being said, anybody who wants to trade a 20 year old Jackson Holliday should be put in a looney bin.

Not when you get back a TOR with two and half years of control in the middle of what should be three pennant drives.

I do think Holliday will figure it out, but it's not as cut and dry as some seem to think. I'm a big believer in having impact starting pitching is the only way to go deep into the playoffs. 

More important than a good 2B.

Just thinking absurdly short term, if the O's had traded Holliday for Skubal and not traded Norby and Stowers, we might have the best team in baseball.  

Our luck Skubal would be on the il for rest of the year like every other pitcher.

I believe in Holliday too, but could really use Norby at 3rd about now.  He's been hitting in Miami.  How's his fielding been?

Wow just looked at Norbys numbers in MIA. You’re right, he has been hitting. We traded him for Trevor rodgers lol.

[LGOrioles]

It’s incredible how bad this offense is. Miller has the worst xERA in the league and they have 0 hits through 3 innings against him. Buehler isn’t much better and he only gave up 2 ER. Maybe they’ll get their heads out of their asses at some point because this is just embarrassing at this point.

Hasn't made an error in 61 innings so far at 3B.

Agreed. Both insufferable.

The O's are always trying to save money, do we really need 2 or is it 3 hitting coaches to suck this bad at hitting?

I agree, you need starting pitching to make playoffs, but you don’t trade Holliday. No shot

Yeah, after AS HR Derby 2023, no wait, or am I getting him confused with Gunnar after AS HR Derby 2024?

Why was I thinking Norby couldn't handle 3B and Mayo could.
