« What if we didn’t recruit solely on how popular their names are on FarmersOnly.com? »
« You’re fired »
Fire the hitting coaches
What’s this about the Orioles not « making a big splash » at the deadline? Eflin and Rogers were two of the best arms available. One of them dropped off the face of the Earth, but they did make moves. The Rogers deal just happened to be one of the worst, most desperate moves anybody’s made in recent memory.
sure?
Young team struggled against another young team in high pressure game!? Shocking!!
They better hope that Holliday isn’t a bust and that Rustchman simply had a slumping year and didn’t turn into Wieters 2.0 and that 1st half Gunnar wasn’t just a hot streak.
These narratives are pretty brain dead. Only one team wins it all, sometimes good teams lose. They’re doing fine with developing young players and made big moves in the trade market. Go again next year.
Is it the ‘deer in the headlights’ thing with the O’s once they get to October? I don’t get it Whatever it is though, the O’s need to make it their life’s work to resign Burnes, and Santander, and then come at next season with the roster being the strength it is now. At least start from there When that’s in place, then you do whatever upgrades you need. But you definitely want to keep the guys who got you to October to begin with

There’s one thing that the post season has been crying out for, and it’s because the SUITS in the GM offices are too scared to try, but I’ll say it:
ALL. KNUCKLEBALL. ROTATION
This is the level of insight I’ve come to expect from the NY Times.
Bottom line: The orioles aren’t nearly as good as most people thought/think but the wild card round is an absurd 2 out of 3, so they lost 2 tight games in a row. Maybe they are slightly better than the royals but the better team doesn’t always win, especially in that format. Reload and come back next year.
As a yanks fan I was rooting for the royals bc I’d much rather play them than the orioles.
They’ll be fine. They’re loaded with young talent that will only get better.
One thing I will say is that I’m disappointed in Adley. He ain’t the difference maker he’s cracked up to be. If I’m Baltimore I’m kicking myself for taking him over Witt.
It wasn’t the pitching that screwed over BAL (only gave up 3 runs combined in Games 1 & 2), it was clearly the offense and the inability to get those big, timely hits.
They’re a young team and are only going to get better, but to say their honeymoon is over… I’d argue that it’s only just getting started. Orioles will be back in the postseason next year and many year after that.
I like the Orioles, but we have got to stop losing our minds when a team underperforms in the postseason. Underdogs winning in the postseason is one of the best parts of the game!
I will stand by the idea that a three game series is only marginally better than a one game playoff. I’m not really a fan of five game series either, but it is considerably better than 3 games. Like…how shitty can that be to drop a single game and be on the verge of elimination already?
This wildcard format has gotta change IMO. To play 162 games and then poof it’s all done in 2 is wild to me. At least make it best of 5.
We see these sorry ass stories about some team every year.
Woe is them. They got the first Wild Card spot, plating in a tough division, and played bad baseball for 5 hours and are eliminated. Lets diagnose what went wrong with the years long process to get to this point!
Dumbass takes.
Better luck next decade 😎
33-33 over the last three months. 33-35 including the playoffs.
They were 58-38 before the All-Star Break.
Once Adley got hurt, their offense slowed. Cowser had a swoon. Injuries stacked, their bullpen let them down and while Santander thumps at an elite level, he can’t hit for average and doesn’t take many walks. Henderson is the only regular who will take a walk.
They’ll be okay, but they kinda need to retain Burnes and as counter intuitive as it sounds, let Santander walk, and play one of their skinny kids out in right field. Might lose some thump, but gain some on base and improve the fielding. If they’re not going to trade some of their prospects, they need to play them.
they’ve failed to improve in any meaningful way at the deadline the last two years. Might want to show more urgency. Or maybe just keep on keeping on, and hope the dice come up the right way.
At what point do you display playoff experience? I feel like its too early to blow it up. Maybe theres some comparison from a decade ago where the team broke through with the same core.
How are the 2009 Giants remembered?
And the 2002 Red Sox?
