It's a fluid market

I really think the O's are going to be ready for the postseason. Give Westburg, Urias a chance to get in a groove again. More opportunities for Webb and Coulombe to take high leverage situations. Perhaps GRod becomes a weapon out of the bullpen. 

I wouldn't want to face them. 

I'd really like some of that Hopium you're toking on, sir. Because this team just doesn't have it.

not exactly front page news, but it is now the EXCEPTION when we hit well in a game.With all our talent, I dont think we have very smart or disciplined hitters, and I think we will be quickly dispatched in the playoffs...I dont know what happened, but this power offense is now so muted, it's rare when they even have a decent lead...a good team will destroy us. We just can't hit.And if its not a HR its nothing.

I wish the O's hitters showed some shame at how bad they are!!!

I dont think Grayson will be back at all.

Will we get our requisite 3 hits today???    That’s the question

There's a surprise: understatement from Roy. You just don't need to throw strikes to get most of the Orioles' hitters out.

Will the Orioles get a hit this inning?

[Pat Kelly]

The O's coaching staff is not responsible for all of the outcomes but this staff is clearly not getting the maximum value out of this team of hitters/fielders.  

The pitching coaches HAVE arguably maximized the talent available, compensated for injuries and seemingly made all pitchers better (lone exception is Rogers- WIP for next year and TBD).    

The hitters have regressed, do not handle LHP well,  go into deep slumps, swing and miss way to much, are horrible situational hitters even when it is very basic (yesterday no one out , 2nd and 3rd and cannot put a ball in play that drives in a run), do not come from behind to win and are overly reliant on HR's.  Friday with 5 HRs was fun but winning 1 of every 3 games is not a successful approach.   I think that other team scouts and pitching staffs have figured out how to contain the Os and use their aggressiveness against them.

I think so.

No hit through 3 once again. This offense is a complete and utter joke. Maybe, just maybe, their offensive struggles have less to do with injuries and more to do with the fact that they are terrible situationally and that teams don't have to throw them strikes.

The Tigers had 4 XBH's and 3 runs in a 6 batter span. The Orioles have 1 XBH and 4 runs in their last 15 innings. It really isn't that hard, they are just that bad.

lately we walk a lot but dont hit or score a lot

Nope. The game is over right?

First pitch to Santander is about three inches low, but called strike one. Our announcers are too busy talking about the hot dog race to mention that actual game that’s being played in front of them.
