This is just another example of why it's usually not a good idea to make deals with Rays when it involves one of their pitchers. Why would they trade a young pitcher like Baz to one of their division rivals? Elias gave up 4 prospects for a below average SP. Maybe he should've drafted a couple of pitchers instead of Cowser or Kjerstad.

Shane Baz was given a 5-year, $68 million contract extension prior to the season I am very unsure why this is where the Orioles chose to spend that money.

@ExhibitIs @BradFromFlorida @DanClarkSports Kjerstad is a BUST.

@BradFromFlorida @DanClarkSports Kjerstad has a head injury that he’s just not gonna recover fully from. Cowser needs to figure out hitting fast or he’ll be out in a couple of years. Rutschman is an every day player that they’re bubble wrapping for some reason. Holliday has plenty of time. Beavers will be fine.

My goodness, the Orioles really have wasted an entire decade's worth of first round draft picks... Bust, after bust, after bust, after bust, with a very light sprinkling of mediocrity. That's it. Absolutely pathetic.

@Alex_1228__ I have a feeling you were all for dumping Adley last year.

Anyone else really down on Gunnar currently? I’d extend Adley over him

@MikeFerrara33 @jcalvinmeyer You're a dumb fuck, it's the manager who called the bunt play.

@jcalvinmeyer This team will never win with Gunnar at SS. They need to move him back to 3b and get a defensive SS. Gunnar is a Liability there. 2023 they won 100 games with Gunnar at 3rd

Kyle Bradish's three-run inning should have been a clean inning. The Orioles' infield assumes Zack Gelof is going to bunt, and Gunnar Henderson starts running to third. Instead, Gelof swings away, and his grounder right where Henderson was standing goes for an RBI single.

@boogsenthusiast @ajbirdland @kylegoon He has NEVER been a good defensive 3B at any level. He's not gonna play 1B regularly for the next few years as long as Everyday Pete stays healthy. Either he'll have to hit enough homers to stay in the lineup and/or he'll have to learn to play RF.

@chokers_whiners @ajbirdland @kylegoon Maybe spending all of last year telling him he’s a 1B not a 3B then signing a 1B then yanking him back to 3B and anointing him the 3B for this year after telling him he’s not good enough and giving him 0 reps there for a year? lol

Ton of respect for Coby’s effort and how he’s tried to approach this challenge. But the Orioles have known since last season he’s not a big league third baseman. He’s in a tough spot, and the team has left him there too long.

@WalterMaselli1 Heard this morning on the Big Bad Morning show that he has yet to even put his bat on a change-up this season.

Needs to be studied

@ajbirdland @kylegoon How? He has NEVER been much of a 3B defensively and he has always had the throwing problem. Which is why they worked him at 1B and RF. At some point it's no longer a coaching problem. He just SUCKS at throwing.

@kylegoon I agree. Not his fault, the team has failed him in a big big way

@MattCarlson18 @kylegoon He had the same problem in the minors so this is nothing new. At some point it's no longer a coaching problem. The player has to work at it and get better.

@kylegoon His errors are mostly in throwing and there is an obvious reason why. There is no reason why this has not been fixed in his career. I cannot understand. 🤯

@JonSolomon35 @kylegoon He wasn't much of a defensive 3B in the minors either.

@kylegoon This is the final straw. Orioles did him no favors by jerking him around to different positions. He can’t play 3B in the majors anymore. Feels like he’s headed to Norfolk soon.

@tylerbarberis_ Buck Showalter had a simple rule which was you can't play unless you can field your position. How about starting with that rule first?

Not a serious baseball team until you can figure out how to stop surrendering runs with two outs.

@reMIKEis @Orioles He had throwing problems in the minors and surprise, surprise... he has the same problem up here too. Imagine that!

@Orioles Good thing we tried developing Mayo in a different position just for him to be needed in his actual position which he can’t figure out Another Fraudlias masterclass on destroying potential talent

FINAL: Marlins 4, Orioles 3

@Orioles Buck Showalter had a simple rule which was you can't play unless you can field your position. Mayo wouldn't be in the lineup under Buck.

@MLB @Marlins Guys like Mayo wouldn't be in the lineup under Buck Showalter - those who can't field their positions.

The @Marlins are walk-off winners!

@AdamGardnerWiz @Waggss89 @BAL_Os_funk And he DH'ed half of them.

@Waggss89 @BAL_Os_funk Played 9 of the last 10

Cowser and Mayo When will it end!?

@Hank_109 @CarolinaBirdman LOL he DH's as often as he catches.

@CarolinaBirdman He’s a catcher… no catcher plays 162

What in the hell are the Orioles doing. Adley Rutschman is on FIRE and he's not in the lineup tonight. JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

@KrisHynson16 That's not gonna happen if he keeps throwing cement mixer sliders like the one he just threw to Hicks.

Wonder what version of Cade Povich we'll get tonight?🤔 Need him to go at least 6! Has to replicate what Brandon Young did after the 1st inning, in being aggressive with his pitches & making competitive pitches. Fingers🤞 #Orioles

@tylerbarberis_ This is the problem. Because they don't have a clue on how to develop pitchers, they gotta pay a premium and trade for them.

The Astros are 45-55 in their last 100 games played. Carlos Correa is out for the season and their whole farm system is shot. They're an aging team that needs a reset. *Insert Hunter Brown* Brown has 2.5 years left of team control and is a true ace -- he'd be expensive though. Astros only have ONE top 100 prospect in OF Kevin Alvarez (No. 94). Come up with a mock trade to land Hunter Brown in Baltimore 👇

@tylerbarberis_ The reason this team sucks is they can't develop pitchers like Tampa or Cleveland.

The Orioles fell off as soon as this man left btw

@tylerbarberis_ LMAO, he has barely played since he left. This is a stupid take.

@ABS_Auditor He missed it so bad that ABS didn't even show by how much.

ABS overturned in #Orioles at #Marlins (Top 9). Taylor Ward challenged the called strike. Called Strike -> Ball. HP: Roberto Ortiz | Upheld 45.5% (20/44). Later: Taylor Ward walks.
