10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

[MDtransplant757]

Already? 

[Yossarian]

One run might be an insurmountable lead. 

[mrbig1]

We're dead.

[dtk9119]

Or a base hit. This team is done.

[LookitsPuck]

Why the hell is the infield in? That’s an easy out at first otherwise.

[Goober Noodles]

This team is pure depression.

[Fiver6565]

Jesus I might have this turned off by the 2nd inning.  And we're debating why its not a sellout.  LMAO

[Rojo13]

I hate the negativity on all these forums - the crowd looks great to me for a dreary work day. Let's hope this is the 2nd of 10 home playoff games this year !! 

While I hate negativity, I wish Adley batted 9th for us. He's barely an above average MLB batter. But I think the manager doesn't want to send a sense of panic. But do people really think he sets the lineup? I assume Elias is doing that. Anyway, I wanted Kjersted over Mountcastle. But let's go Os!

What I'mm most worried about is if we get the lead and it's close late in the game. I do not trust our closer. Much like Adley I'd have him way down on my bullpen trust rankings.

I trust 5-6 relieves MORE than I do our closer: Cano, Perez, Akin, Soto, Coloumbe - probably someone else.

[Sports Guy]

With the way this team is pressing, getting down early is bad.

[Fuzzball22]

Now the hitters are going to feel even more pressure

[forphase1]

Playing from behind...our guys will press and look even worse than usual.   This sucks. 

[LGOrioles]

Lol. Is anyone remotely surprised this is how they start? Not even like you can blame Eflin - they’re 2-3 with a combined xBA of .194. This team just can’t do it in pressure situations - as of now. 

[Fiver6565]

I have a feeling if we don't score in the first two innings today, we won't at all.  Or, we will score a couple worthless runs late after we're already down 5 or something like that.

Have you seen our offense 

[oriolediehard]

I hate being behind right away!!!
