There's been a couple other Orioles hitters ( other than Jackson) to reach out to Matt Holiday for hitting help and have emediate success. Beavers is one of them. What an indictment on the Os hitting coaches, the organizational philosophy and Mike Elias. Mike needs to go. I'm more and more convinced Elias is ruining all of these young guys careers.

You saw a great game

Definitely hasn't made them a contending team. But I think they'd be double digits under .500 at this point with out him. He's put the offense on his back the entire month of August. I keep waiting for an announcement for a Rodgers extension. I kind of thought maybe something was in the works when they didn't trade him at the deadline.

There's really no reason to ever get excited about this current Os team. 1 step forward and 2 steps back

Sanders made the mess,but bringing Cano in with the bases loaded and 2 outs really is pretty dumb on Albernaz's part the way Cano has pitched in his last 2 appearances.

Os offense is back to sucking against the Yankees. Sucks they blew Mondays game but oh well. Probably not consistent enough to make the playoffs anyway.

Yeah it awful. Those numbers could easily be flipped around. Really good decision to lock him up long term. His stuff is electric.

Os just can't move past that 2 games under .500 mark. Looks like there going to be back to 4 games under after tonight.

He missed almost a month and they didn't send him on a rehab assignment. Kinda stupid after missing that much time

There's about 4 or 5 crappy teams gunning for the last wild card spot. One of them will be in the playoffs. Atleast briefly lol. Although I wouldn't feel to bad trotting out Bradish ,Rodgers and Baz in a best of 3 series. Problem is we wouldn't score any runs against the other team top of the rotation

Or pitch against them

I agree. I doubt Albernaz makes too many pregame manager decisions. It's Obvious there line up is made off of analytics and spread sheets. Why else would you sit Holiday after going 4 for 4. Or sit TON since he's been on a tear for over a month now. I'm not saying you shouldn't use that stuff at all but it's Obvious they don't make decisions based ofnof feel or who's hot and who's not.

In what world does it make any sense for Gunner to bat lead off. At this point he is what he is which is a below average hitter. He should be in the bottom half of the order but Albernaz is void of any balls.

Buck's a million times better than this Bozo ass kisser we have now in Albernaz. He's awful. Hands down bad.

Just watched the entire portion about the Os. Pretty interesting stuff. I doubt Elias ever hires a manager that has any real credentials unless Rubenstein pushes for it. I'd love to get Buck back here but that would never happen with Elias in charge I agree with you that Rubenstein seems clueless and just seems to defers to Mike. Not a Healthy business model when everyone is just a yes man to the president of baseball ops
