Eight and a half back? Can we start April over? Another wasted performance by Bundy. And Valencia at third? Defense has really been disappointing. How many times can they strikeout? Yes, I am grumpy. :(

Other than Tillman, I have confidence in the starting pitching and that should keep us in games. The outfield defense has been sub par, other than Gentry. Watching Boston over the weekend shows me that we are not ready to compete with the better clubs.

I think it was that they are used to playing in freezing temps. :p

But seriously, they should have PP.

I'm not totally pessimistic about the pitching, but I hate sloppy defense.
 
Hopefully Cobb will have a better outing this time. Our starting pitching in the first two games in Detroit has been solid and we have nothing to show for it.

Well not today. 12-3 right now. :(

So this is what is going to happen. The starting pitching is going to become reliable, we will get Britton back in June, the defense will pick up, the hitting will heat up with the weather and we will have a spectacular second half. :p
 
This team just doesnt gel. Idk why we ever tried to build a team with power hitters. Those Davis and Trumbo contracts are killing us. Get rid of Duquette and start over. Idk what to think of Buck anymore but tbf he shouldve been fired for using Jimenez over Britton in that wildcard playoff game

The ways things are going we will trade Manny Machado, Adam Jones, Zach Britton and Brad Brach before the trade deadline. Hopefully we can pick up a haul of good prospects.

Steve! You're back! How have you been? :p

Yes, Buck should have put Britton in the game, that was a mistake. But you don't fire one of the best things that has happened to the O's in recent history for one mistake!

I agree Duquette needs to go.

Sigh. I was trying to be positive but okay just BLOW IT UP. They better not screw up though. The haul better be spectacular.
 
If this slide continues into June, I'm all for trading everyone and trying to get some good prospects.

Either way, I don't want to trade any of our pitching prospects, because they may help limit how much of a rebuild we'll need to go through.
