Giving up a HR to Walls is like giving up a HR to a pitcher back in the day.

You should have been more specific.

Bad luck with a bloop and a swinging bunt from them.  We really should not be trailing in this game.

They have zero runs and haven’t been able to score against anyone besides Colorado and CHW in a month. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

You missed Gunnar getting robbed didn’t you 

No I didn’t. But they had chances the prior two innings with and didn’t score. They shouldn’t have to rely on a 3 run HR, that’s the problem.

Not a great outing by Eflin by any stretch, but he battled and gave the team a chance. But, the offense just refused to bail him out. 

He’s not the Cy Young caliber pitcher he’s been pitching like since he was traded here. 
 

The offense simply has to wake up. They’re an abomination right now. 
 

Thank you Cedric.

      O's .300 hitters

      Didn’t Melvin Mora have one season when he hit lights out?

      O's .300 hitters

      By TomDominick · Posted

      With this latest team batting slump I got to wondering about O's who have hit at least .300 in relatively recent years with a minimum of 400 at bats. Last homegrown player was 2008. Last not homegrown was 2019.

      Monken is part of the problem here. This has been his M.O. I've seen absolutely nothing over the last two season with Monken to think he's special at anything.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      It is hard to quantify the mental element of the game, but it does feel like these guys collectively have a really hard time with situations where they need to come through. It is almost like the normal pressure that a pitcher should start to feel with runners on base never transfers when Oriole hitters are up.  It makes me wonder, how can these guys ever come through in a playoff game with real pressure if they get this nervous with a runner on 2nd and nobody out in Detroit in mid-September.   It was said in other threads this weekend, but it really does feel like the hitters are guessing on everything.  What is even more interesting is how often they seem to guess incorrectly.  Friday night was a clinic, as I don't know how they missed so many 91 mph fastballs directly down the middle.  And if they aren't looking at them or swinging right through them, they are somehow fouling them off.  I get swinging through 97+.  But those Tiger pitchers on Friday through an entire assortment of meatballs at them and they missed almost every one. Makes me wonder how messed up these guys are in the head.  Maybe the three headed hitting strategists and fear of failure is creating major traffic jams up there.

      Just reminds me of my favorite Moneyball quote   "if he's a good hitter than why doesn't he hit good"

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      It really seems like Holliday and Mayo are non-factors for this year's team.  Unfortunately Holliday and Soto bat from the same side so there is no natural platoon there. I think you pick the best one and right now that is Soto. You could maybe play Holliday some vs LHP but that isn't going to be great for him.  Based on pinch hitting for Kjerstad yesterday, I see zero chance they will start him vs LHP.  Urias and Westburg need to replace Mayo and Rivera ASAP and would be a nice upgrade. Could Westburg lead off vs LHP when he comes back? I don't love Slater there.  I think Adley should move back up once he sustains his norms for a bit.

      2024 Bowie Baysox

      By Frobby · Posted

      The Baysox closed their season at 62-75.   They were at or over .500 for much of the first half of the season, but started slipping in mid June and suffered several losing streaks, including skeins of 4, 6, 4, 4, and 9 games at various points after June 11.    It was a weak offensive year for the Baysox, who finished 9th of 12 teams in both runs/game (4.04) and OPS (.667).   Of the 11 players who played in at least half of Bowie’s games, Samuel Basallo led the team in all major rate stats with his .289/.355/.464/.820 line, and also led the team in hits (115), doubles (22) and total bases (185).   Jud Fabian led the team in homers (18) and RBI (58) and was 2nd in SLG (.432) and OPS (.758).   Dylan Beavers led in runs (67) and stolen bases (31) and was 2nd in OBP (.343) and (.756).   Though he only got 120 PA at end of the year, Enrique Bradfiled Jr. put up a nice .286/.395/.396 line and scored 25 runs and stole 15 bases in only 27 games. The pitching staff was 4th in the Eastern League in ERA (3.79) but 6tb in RA9 (4.51), thanks to a league worst 96 unearned runs allowed.  Seven starters made 10+ starts for the Baysox, with Alex Pham (4.24 ERA) and Trace Bright (4.18) bearing the heaviest workload at 27 starts each.  Seth Johnson (2.63 ERA) made 18 starts before he was traded, but generally pitched only 3-4 innings per start.  Cameron Weston (3.41 ERA), Kyle Brnovich (3.96) and Ryan Long (5.03) pitched a mix of starts and long relief.   Peter Van Loon was injured to begin the year but made 11 starts and 1 relief appearance to an excellent 2.66 ERA.  The O’s acquired Patrick Reilly in a deadline trade and he threw to a 3.73 ERA.  Among the relievers, Dylan Heid (26) stood out with a 1.69 ERA in 40 appearances spanning 64 innings.  Houston Roth also had a nice year, posting a 3.35 ERA in 33 appearances spanning 48 innings, and whiffing 12.1 batters per 9.    As mentioned, the Baysox defense was really poor, making the most errors in the league (149, about 30 more than league average) and allowing the most unearned runs (96, about 20 more than league average).  Dylan Beavers pulled off the trifecta by leading the team in errors at each outfield spot, making 5 miscues in CF, and 4 each in LF and RF.  Frederick Bencosme made 17 errors at SS and another 7 at 2B.  Silas Ardoin (10) and Samuel Badalio (8) led a catching cohort that made 22 errors, though the catchers did have a 30% CS rate.  The first basemen made 15 errors, including 8 by T.T. Bowen in only 50 games.   All in all, it was a pretty disappointing year for Bowie, with only Samuel Basallo really standing out on offense, and just poor defense all over the field.  The pitching was respectable but the defense limited their effectiveness.
