Taste of the playoffs. Pressure on them when it mattered and completely wilted aside from Gunnar.

I mean, it was specifically Mullins, Santander, and Cowser. Especially Mullins and Santander.

[LookitsPuck]

Say what you will about Jackson Holliday’s defense. But this loss is squarely on Mullins and Santander.

Why why why can’t this team get a sac fly in critical situations?  Why?

[vab]

Well, that went left quickly. Never know what's coming next with this team.

I never said that.  I said the game should have been already, meaning we should have won it in the bottom of the 9th. 

I was agreeing with you. Didn’t word it well.

Exactly people fall in love with the homers forgetting he’s a one dimensional free swinger with zero ability to work a walk.

Not only is one dimensional, I have to question that "leadership" he supposedly has in the lockeroom. What leader swing on 2-0 on a pitch at his ankles?

[Moose Milligan]

Adley, Soto and Kjerstad. 

Feels weird saying I have more confidence in Kjerstad than Adley right now.

For 3 years old, you have tremendous typing skills. 

At least the bad teams I expected to be bad…. This team is just not good and we expected better

[LookitsPuck]

In this situation, Adley really should be hunting first pitch. 

[TopGunnar]

Let’s see what big Ad does here 

[O's84]

That would help if we were only down 1.

Why, do you enjoy this team? Not the Orioles in general, this 2024 version?

I'm not lying, I can't remember a less enjoyable team that went to the playoffs. I mean, they're going, but this team is so poor coached and has so many chokers on it that its not a fun team to watch.

How does that 9th inning happen? It's not even like that pitcher is some amazing pitcher. 

How do you have a coach not telling Holliday to tag on that play?

Why would Santander swing on 2-0 at his ankles knowing they were trying to pitch around him? 

Why?

Because it's poor coached and you have a selfish guy like Santander wanting to be the hero vs putting the team in a better chance to win.

This. The string of events was just unbelievable. All the momentum on their side, 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Awful AB by Mullins, Santander swings at that 2-0 pitch which was behind idiotic and somehow they still would’ve scored if Holliday tagged up which he didn’t, and then they get a would be sac fly for the 3rd out.

Adley takes one down the middle and then swings at one at his ankles. Our offense in a nutshell. Whatever happened to monitoring swing decisions?  Garbage. 

[TopGunnar]

Wish I coulda put a million dollars on him hitting a 4 hop ground ball to second. I see a lot of hate on here yet nobody says anything about Adley. Adley is a bust in every sense of the word

[O's84]

2 on for Kjerstad.
