Misery loves company

Wow. Watching Houston play right now- I'd swear they were the orioles undercover.

Carlos Lee just drops an easy pop fly ball with two outs. His team is 0-7, but has a 2-0 lead in the 4th. After the dropped ball- the Cardinals rally to get on the board.

They just got out of the inning- but amazing how things happen when you're going down.

It's not just us.

And this is supposed to make us feel better about the Orioles?:confused:

Who said it should make us feel better about the Orioles? The Misery loves Company line was in jest. Relax.

Though admittedly, I am glad we aren't the only punching bags in the majors.

Besides that- just had flashbacks of our closer issues 2 years ago watching Dany Baez just give up 3 runs to the Nationals off 3 homeruns- in almost the same fashion as he blew a Sunday game for the Orioles against them. A solo hr by Adam Dunn- followed by a pinch hit 2-run shot by Ryan Zimmerman.

Good to see Baez staying true to form.

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
