Based on the amount of tickets on stub hub, I would suspect tomorrow’s game to be pretty empty as well. I don’t blame people for not going, this team is an embarrassment. 

I wish the GD ignore button worked so I didn’t have to read your DA posts.

Sometimes, you gotta work in the middle of the day on a Tuesday.

Can you blame anyone based off the last 3 months and the predictable offensive performance today? This team has given fans zero reason to show up the last 3 months. They’ve been sleepwalking through g

41.5k. For a last minute day/time before the end of a work day with crappy weather. Pretty damn solid for a WC game.

You certainly don’t have to read them, definitely don’t need to respond to them either.

I wish I hadn't gone, or at least that I'd spent less on the tickets in favor of cheaper seats. We got there super early to beat the crowds, ate lunch, bought a beer at our seats, watched the offense go flat, and waited for an hour and 20 minutes to get out of the GD parking garage. What a waste of a vacation day from work.

Ultimately, the purpose of playing a competitive game is to win, not just to compete. Winners matter and losers are nothing. The Orioles are losers, and have always been losers for the entirety of my life. I don't know why I bother.

I went to one of the games in 2014 when the Royals schooled us.  No interest in doing that again.

If we were in the World Series, I might feel differently.  I remember going to the playoff series against the Indians in the late 90s, that was pretty cool.  I was also in high school and hadn't been beaten down by life yet.  

Honestly, if someone were to have given me a free ticket yesterday, I wouldn't have gone.

My wife came home Tuesday night and apparently had an offer for some really cheap tickets, I just had no interest in going.  Just feel like I've seen the movie before.  I'm pretty beaten down by this team's playoff failures at this point.  Maybe that makes me a bad fan, I don't know.

If I could get off work last minute I’d go to todays game, or tomorrows potential game. I know we are playing like shit but I love postseason baseball atmospheres, and honestly, if we win today I’m sure the vibe will be a lot different for a winner take all game 3. I went to the 2012 postseason against the Yankees, the game we won. And I went to the game 2 against the rangers last season 🤢. I’m hoping we make the DS and I can make it out again this postseason.

      Any chance Holliday gets the start today? I would assume no…but he did have a good last game and came in for Gunnar and drew another walk.  Urias is 7-29 since coming back and one of those hits was a gift double yesterday.  To be clear, I’m not saying they should start Holliday, just wondering if they would consider it.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      They are a better match up on paper than Ragans, but I don't think that's really the issue here. This offense has a puckered sphincter problem. They tense up at the slightest of pressure. The matchups probably don't matter at this point until someone will give them a lead and take off some of the pressure. Anytime this team gets behind they pucker up because the pressure is on. If they can get a lead early, it will take some of that pressure off and maybe, they can win the game. If they get behind though they are done.

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      He was very good.  Really hope to see him get a chance again this year.

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      He didn't carry us?  He pitched 8 innings of 1-run ball.  And newsflash - if he'd pitched 8 shutout innings, we very possibly would have still lost.  Was he supposed to also hit a home run to tie the game?  Talking about the starter not carrying us when he pitched 8 and we lost 1-0 is a wild take.

      It’s 100% fair to wonder if players can calm themselves down and get their heart beat down.    I think Westburg can do this.

      The key decision is (a) Mounty at 1B and O’Hearn at DH, or (b) O’Hearn at 1B and Kjerstad at DH. Weighing all of the considerations, I would go with (b). If the decision were just Mounty or O’Hearn at first base with the other on the bench, I think the clear choice would be O’Hearn.  Mounty is perhaps 15 runs better on defense over a full season than O’Hearn, though gap may have narrowed some with O’Hearn getting more reps over the last month.  To offset that, his wOBA needs to be ~30 points higher.  Since 2023, O’Hearn’s wOBA vs. RHP has been .47 better than Mounty and his xwOBA has been .41 better.     For Kjerstad, it becomes the same question - do you think his bat today will be in the neighborhood of .30 wOBA points than Mounty.  It’s a tougher question to answer given Kjerstad’s lighter track record.  However, when you factor in Lugo’s platoon splits, the Wall, and Mounty’s prospects against a pitcher with a 9-pitch arsenal, I’m inclined to go with O’Hearn/Kjerstad.   Further, I would prioritize getting momentum on offense - it’s really important to score early and there is a high likelihood that there isn’t a defensive play that Mounty would make and O’Hearn wouldn’t (I know there was one yesterday).  Additionally, Mounty off the bench provides more pinch-hitting flexibility.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The Os only have 32 at bats vs Lugo but they have been successful. No one than 6 PA vs him. Slater is the one with 6 at bats and he has 3 hits vs him. Mountcastle, Mullins and Westburg each have 2 hits vs him. Cowser and Westburg have a homer and Westy and Santander each have a triple.  Cowser has the only walk. The Os scored 4 runs, had 9 hits, 1 BB and only struck out once when they faced him in April. So again, like the one Ragans start, they had a lot of hits and a good approach…but can they carry that over?   Lugo had one bad start in September, vs Detroit. The rest of the month, he pitched 23 innings and gave up 3 runs. He shut down the Giants, Yankees and Cleveland. His last outing was 2 innings vs Atlanta and they didn’t store off of him.
