He'll be trade fodder because of samuel basallo. 

Basallo is far from ready. Did we not learn from Holliday and Mayo this year?

Next years lineup will be interesting. These dudes folded hard under pressure. 

Elias must see the need for a tough veteran bat.  Not sure who, but the culture is a real problem.

One run in 17 innings.  Outstanding.

We need hitting more than pitching this offseason!!!!

[LGOrioles]

They’ve given up 3 runs in 2 games and are about to get swept. Couldn’t ask for a more deflating sweep.

Don’t need one, we have Eloy Jimenez

Royals will need a lot more than 3 runs to beat the Yankees. A LOT more. 
I think they’re going to get pounded.

I hope they see the need for new hitting coach(s).

Minus the deflating sweep last year where they got every bone in their body kicked in

We need both. Really all three (starting pitching, veteran RH bat(s), and bullpen help).

I’d take that. Texas won the WS and was the best team by far in the playoffs. They’re about to lose 2 extremely winnable games to a mediocre team because they scored 1 run and can’t hit with RISP.

If the O's lose, I could care less about the other teams in the playoffs!!!!

This is so depressing.

Last year was far worse. They weren't even competitive aside from the first game. 

This is certainly deflating, but expectations were much lower since we've seen this song and dance for months during the regular season.

Welp go Tigers I guess. 1984 Redux would be kinda fun. Tigers - Phillies would be a fun matchup too. 

Just not Dodgers Yankees. If there is any sympathy with the baseball gods for us, not Dodgers Yankees

I second that.
