So the O's 3B and RF both fail in clutch situations. Anybody better in the minors?

Nice job by Baker.

 

Need a little Oriole Magic.

DJ Stewart and Cadyn Grenier?

I mean, if/when the O's fall short of the postseason, everyone will point to their horrid start (and won't be wrong), but losing to teams 18 games below .500 is a good additional paragraph for bonus points. 

Every play off team has losses like that on their record.  It is not football, teams lose to worse teams in baseball.

I hate the sac attempt there.  Odor popped it up, and I would rather have him swing the bat.

I was surprised Santander hit that sacrifice fly. First he swings at a pitch a foot inside and then at a pitch a foot outside. Does anyone on this team outside of Rutschman even have an elementary notion of what balls and strikes look like? Its maddening to watch.

Mateo with a base hit and the Orioles have runners on 1st and second.

[Chris B]

Oooooof

[CantonJester]

Good grief. Odor's useful only when he uppercuts into a mistake pitch. Bunting? Woof.

Good Guys lose on a soft DP.

How did Seth Johnson do today?

[You Play to Win the Game]

Not good.

Time to make some changes on offense. Call up Stowers. Odor to bench. Phillips to DFA. Call up Westburg. Urias to 2B. Rotate DH between Vavra, Mountcastle and Hays.

[NewMarketSean]

Forgot about Gunnar. LOL. Yeah. Call him up too.

[BobPhelan]

Forgot about Gunnar. LOL. Yeah. Call him up too.

No sooner than Tuesday for him and Westburg. Stowers should be up three weeks ago.

Three times today we made the final out on the base paths. Hays, in particular, was atrocious. Not just the final play of the game, but not advancing to third on Mateo's hit. How can a guy with that kind of speed not go from first to third on a hit to right?

That's what I thought too but in looking at the replay from behind the plate he had to almost stop half way to second to make sure it fell in for a hit.

[NewMarketSean]

So I’m guessing the offense is OK?

I kid.

He had a good day, getting ready to pitch in AA/AAA in 2024.
