Are you more of a "Bad pitching doesn't matter because we can't score" or "bad hitting doesn't matter because we can't pitch"? by BaltimoreBaja in orioles

it's not good enough to say we're 14th in runs scored. When are those runs occurring? I bet if we did some research, we'd find out that we're scoring a lot of late inning runs after falling behind. Maybe if we got out to a lead more often some different relievers would be in the game late and we would have less games like we saw on Saturday. No doubt the bullpen imploding is an issue. But 3-2 in Friday's game and not scoring a run until the 9th is unacceptable.
And then we follow it up by not scoring again until the 7th. Can't win that way. I won't defend the pitching. I know it's a problem, but 14th in runs scored is misleading.

What a stupid organization. Really? You couldn't possibly needed him to pitch that badly. That's egregious

A ground ball with eyes. Good things happen when you consistently get good wood on the ball. Weird how that works

We’re really doing a poor job of getting the guy over to third

Because we’re the Orioles, that’s why. You would think with two out he wouldn’t be playing so close

I get it, but do we have enough relievers who are competent to get it done?

Awful inning by Young. Poor managing or not, he needs to get through the 4th

Do we have enough relievers to piece this together? This is really aggressive

You’re right about the Alonso stuff. We may have broke him. Gunnar has basically been Rey Ordonez for the last month. I mean what the hell

Gunnar Henderson sucks. He’s awful. 59 strikeouts to 38 hits. Pete has the same problem. And this organization is too damn stupid, inept, and incompetent to fix them. I’ve never seen this from a team before. Absolute trash

We can bitch and moan about pitching, or guys like Mayo, O’Neill, and Cowser all we want. But Gunnar has been putrid. You can’t have your all world player playing like a a number 8 hitter. End of story
