Come on. Hyde isn’t telling these pinecones to swing at everything.

Elias doesn’t strike me as the type of Ivan see him changing the hitting approach some though.

Corbin has done his part. Other than the one walk he's been pretty flawless.

They've got to get Adley's bat out of the lineup against good pitchers.  He's useless.  Get Rivera or Kjerstad in there.  Gunnar has been in a mini slump the past couple of weeks, and Westy and Mounty just aren't quite there yet since coming back from the IL.

The top 5 in the lineup are 0-15 with 7 strikeouts.  Ragans is a good pitcher but that's just pathetic.

That is quite pathetic even for O's playoff teams.

Probably the last time Burnes leaves the field as an Oriole. He did his job.

Think you might have to hit for McCann here. Hate giving up the DH, but…

Corbin Burnes is dealing. Let him pitch and lets give him *run support!

Take good at bats! Eyes on the ball, men!

*run support

Burnes has been so good. The offense has been pathetic. And I don’t even think Ragans was amazing or anything. 

Yeah. He was good but gettable.

Yeah. No way you let him hit. 

McCann has the highest OPS on the team his past 30 at bats -- .966.

[LookitsPuck]

Hyde ain’t going anywhere. They’ll chalk this up to injuries. Now if 2025 sucks? He gone.

8 innings of 1 run ball by Burnes and we might waste it.

Brings back memories of Mussina in 1997 (cleveland)

Come on now, he might be back in 2030.

Guessing Lynch/Erceg to end it?

I know Mullins has 2 hits vs a lefty but Ragans is better vs righties.  You may need to pinch hit for Mullins here.

Should we start a Corbin Burnes appreciation thread?
