O’s look done

[Camden_yardbird]

There is something wrong in the clubhouse.  There is no joy in mudville. I know these guys are paid to play, but when the joy goes out of playing the game, it's over.

Hyde will be gone come next year.  It's the managers job to keep that perspective, and make sure the team feels like a team, and that's not what this team is now.

Reports around the Kimbrel demotion had Hyde and Elias on different pages, and thats not conducive to winning either.

Just watched Mayo strike out.  He looked hopeless out there.  He has to go back down!!!!

The whole team looks hopeless tonight

Speaking of that, look up Adley's splits. He's literally elite batting right handed. His numbers are fantastic. Maybe it's time for him go full time righty.

He can't, Elias purposely nuked left field to only draft lefties who also cant hit lefties

It’s hard to blame it on Hyde. Half his roster is on the IL.

It's hard watching this team right now. I mean, look at that starting lineup against a premier lefthander. They are getting their ass kicked and you expect joy in Mudville? Like I said in another thread - this off season will be interesting on many fronts and the way this team is going - it may come much sooner than we all antisipated three months ago.

Which one wanted to demote Kimbrel?   I'd say that person has been vindicated by Kimbrel's subsequent performance.

If you just turned on the Os for the first time this year and watched a 10-0 drubbing by the (not going to the playoffs) Giants in front of an empty, grim  Camden Yards, what would you think?

Makes you wonder if they'll be able to sell out a playoff game.

Based on tonight I would kind of think it was Hyde. No chance he lets the guy stand out there and give up 6 runs in under an inning if he wanted to keep him around.

What were those reports? I don’t remember hearing that.

7-13 in last 20 taking the Rockies/White Sox series out.

How could anyone disagree with demoting Kimbrel? He has been objectively terrible.

[Hank Scorpio]

Brilliantly boring.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Ok I’m worried now about a potential collapse that drops the Orioles out of the wildcard. It’s unlikely, but this team is completely dead in the water. They’re not even competitive for the most part recently.

To you and me it is obvious. If everyone agreed it would have happened by now.
