    Plate discipline is still lacking about this offense in general. Small ball a bad defensive team and see what happens. Pride gets in the way of some these guys looking to hit bombs what appears to be all the time. Times last night we could have moved a runner over and either popped up or struck out. No inclination to bunt a guy over. Call me old or old school. Kepler batting leadoff shouldn't be the spot for him. Spread speed and power throughout the lineup.

    hero ball last night and very poor plate discipline. Bighat stated it perfectly. My biggest concern and/or complaint is relying on the old Earl Weaver philosophy with the Orioles was the 3-run homer concept. Chicks dig the long ball but there are other ways to score. White Sox are error prone but we didn't put any pressure on them defensively. Swinging at multiple 1st pitches with runners on base instead of working the count, hitting inside out to move runners over, hell lay down an bunt once in awhile. Fundamental at bats didn't exist. Deserved to lose this one last night

    Davis has to be the worst. He hasn't hit over .179 since 2017 season. Career .230 hitter. Has K'd over 1,800 times in less than 5,000 AB's for a K% of 37%. He continues to make the everyday roster as they can't eat his contract. Peter Angelos ruined the Orioles with his mandate of "it's my way or the highway". Granted you are the owner but his lawyer mentality obliterated that franchise

    game tonight will set the tone for rest of series. Win tonight and confidence could be there to close out this short season on a high note. Control your own destiny is better than relying on some others for assistance. Take advantage, small ball the defense often and early and capitalize on deficiencies. Win the day, then the series, then the title!

    family friend confirms Jeffers starts game one.

    batting Sano in lead off spot surprises me somewhat. I would like to have seen some speed sprinkled around the lineup and ahead of big bats to generate some pressure on the opposing defense. Single to to gaps and speed from 1st could set up some 1st and 3rd situations. Small ball at times puts added pressure on defense to make plays. White Sox have shown they can sling around the diamond like little leaguers.

    Live out of market so watching games very limited. So with that being said, lineup and playing fundamental baseball seems to be far from existent. Do we move the runners over, bunt for example or do we rely way to much on a .200 hitter to break out from whatever lack of production they have to get a base hit? Station to station baseball when you are on a losing streak can jump start activity in the positive direction. Put the ball in play and make the other team work for the out. Swinging at pitches out of the zone, thus multiple K's is awful baseball. Time to bench some guys and let hungry players play the game. I wouldn't worry about walking Cruz if I was other team, not many bats in lineup would scare me if I was opposition.

    good thing we got a wild pitch/pass ball to bring in the run.

    Tigers starting pitchers and losses by Twins: Let's think about this for a second or try to quickly get it out of your mind. Boyd 7.27 ERA and Twins get 2 runs. Skubal 6.75 ERA and Twins get 2 runs. Ouch.

    Cave with a terrible at bat. Swung at 2 balls outside of the zone. Lineup is not intimidating at all. Cruz and may Sano but that is about it today.
