O’s look done

Who knew that you can’t consistently win averaging 2 runs per game? They’re a complete joke right now.

They are not done because you still have Burnes and Eflin 1-2 in the playoffs so just have to get them a few runs and they will give you chance to win most nights.  

Well, Burnes, Eflin, Povich all just threw nearly 19 innings and only allowed 3 runs between them and they managed to lose 2 of 3.

Well that pretty much sums it up.

As long as we take 1/3 in the next 4 series we should lock up a playoff spot. I like to set lofty goals.

Yep but they keep doing that I still like our chances.  You pitch like that in playoffs you give yourself a great chance to win.  The offense is still missing 3 starters from the lineup so hopefully they come back and help.

We've won 5 series in the entire second half of the season. And two of those were against Colorado and the White Sox. Bad baseball team.

F these losers. Hyde and Harbaugh are both clowns .

We're backing into the playoffs. Big deal. Everyone knows our offense sucks and we aren't going anywhere against quality pitching.

Brown and Ben talked about how "the process" is fine, or something like that, but the hits (and runs) just weren't coming. Adley just spoke about how the players all have faith in "the process."

What is this process? Is it just playing hard and not letting past losses/poor play discourage you or affect today's performance? That's all fine, but doesn't really mean anything.

Or does "the process" entail strategic elements -- things to do or emphasize in hitting, pitching, running and/or fielding? If so, the hitting part of it is failing dismally, and has been for some time. To say that even though the team's offense has been and still is terrible, we're just going to keep doing what we're doing and expect the swings and misses will turn into takes and hard contact, the ground balls at fielders will find holes, and the pop-ups will become line drives in the gaps strikes me as foolish. And more importantly, is likely to doom a team that has some real talent, even with the injuries.

Why are other teams beating us with scoring on RISP and we can't?  What do they have that we don't?

This is a rant, I am so tired of losing, seeing my team soooo lethargic!!!!!!!!!!!

Our xOBP was .346 today (as opposed to .195 for Tigers) which is actually not bad.

What was Riley Greenes?  Because he was the only hitter that mattered today. Both homers off lefties too.

.580.  We do need to be better in the clutch, both hitting and pitching.

They just can’t string the hits together it seems a guy will come up in big situations and not deliver then next at bat gets a hit with no one on.  Santander had a double down the line his first at bat.  His second at bat with 2nd and 3rd  he pops out.  The next at bat he flys out to right. The 4th at bat he hits a rocket right at the right fielder with Mullins on 1st then Adley homers.  So in the 4 at bats he would have scored the runner 3 out of the 4 times but unfortunately the time he didn’t was one that mattered.
