Playoff type atmosphere and pressure and with the exception of Gunnar they all folded like a cheap suit. Can't wait for that 2 game WC sweep by the Royals 

This. Imagine that, a playoff caliber experience and this team chokes. So weird.

Yup...and your 2 veterans with 0 and 1 out have LOUSY ABs.

I cannot remember a more inept team with a runner at third and less than 2 out...its absolutely incredible...this game was ours for the taking...

Honest to god, it’s their specialty.  
 

Like an artist, it’s their preferred medium.

Not even mad. Being mad at this Orioles team is like getting mad when your puppy shits on the carpet. 

I made the mistake of believing in them when Gunnar had that 2B.

Do you know how hard it is to not get a runner home from 3B with no outs?

Yeah but I’m tired of hearing that (and saying it). Even if they get ‘hot’ how long can they sustain it?

Who knows but it was only three years ago you would have given your left pinky toe just for a shot at the playoffs at this point in a season.

    • Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic 
    • Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought. 
    • I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.
    • Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.
    • I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs. 
    • Handshakes and pat on backs are sufficient.  Celebrating after how they’ve played for months seems a little silly.   If they win a playoff series, celebrate then.  
    • Talk about backing into the playoffs. I have a feeling we will “clinch” a spot based on someone else losing
