Well if nothing else we've pretty well confirmed that Povich and Tate need to go.

[BaltBird 24]

Povich probably gets 1 more start before the ASB.

Hopefully a trade can occur after the ASB.

Just one of those games. Take Gunnar and Adley out.

Saw an interesting stat today in this regard. In 2019, when the Orioles lost 108 games, they beat the Cleveland Indians on consecutive days by 13-0 scores on June 28 and 29. Cleveland would go on to win 93 games that season.

A sac fly when you're down by 12 is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

 

Trouble is, the A's are on pace to score 40 runs right now.

[BaltBird 24]

I'll give the offense a pass against Seattle. No reason to be getting dominated by Oakland pitching.

We just gave up a homerun to Tyler Nevin. 

[russsnyder]

Nevin rocked that HR.

13-1

Irvin should have to finish it out even if it takes 227 pitches.

Povich certainly hasn't overpowered anyone coming into today, but he at least battled and kept the team in games.  Enough for them to win.  I'm tempted to chalk this one up to "one of those outings" that even the best pitchers experience at some point.  I do think Povich's stuff can play at the major league level, but he needs to head back to Norfolk and learn how to command his pitches.  And if he's intimidated by the hitters at this level, he needs to get over that real fast.  Hopefully, it won't destroy his confidence, but they need to work on his control.  Otherwise, he has no chance.

This is just one of those “get thru it and move on,” games.

lol

[Slidemaster]

Welp.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

17 runs allowed to the 3rd worst offense in baseball. Totally embarrassed. I'd like to say chalk it up to the full moon but it ain't that
....lol

[mdrunning]

We've been outscored in this series 19-7 thus far, yet the worst we can do after today is a split of the first two games.

When was the last time the Orioles have given up this many runs in a game? 

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Well at least Irwin can pitch the bottom of the inning and not have to use another pitcher. Blow this one off and get them tomorrow. All you can do.

When was the last time the Orioles have given up this many runs in a game? 

September of 2018 when we gave up 19 to Boston.

[mdrunning]

We're down by 11 but have only three fewer hits than Oakland.

[jamesdean]

19 earned runs are going to put a big hurt on the team ERA. 

[mdrunning]

Closing the gap! Next nine guys get on and we bring the tying run to the plate!

 

Or not.

 

Eight runs on 16 hits and never in the game. At least it happened in Oakland, so not many people actually witnessed it live.
