Good lord Venable, why is he facing their main hitters
-
But it’s the guys that are part of the plan, like Colson, Quero and Smith, that are playing the worst

As I said yesterday, who actually looks like they can contribute to the next contending team? Baron will hate me, but I looked at the 2024 roster and there’s not a big talent upgrade at all.Good at bats that inningThey were going to trade for him all along. Those idiots probably thought his VWL stats would make fans optimistic.The Orioles have sucked this series and gonna get a sweepCan’t believe they didn’t use Sosa, and now they’re letting the terrible bottom of the order batIt took watching Iriarte one time to see his control was never going to work. I’m convinced they don’t scout guys, they just look at old rankings.He’s also taken the best swings of anyone so farThey were bragging about it in ST. Jerry, Getz and company sure love their Ecksteins.So I said the other day I like Taylor as the opener. It took me two days to change my mind. Seeing Hicks pitching in close games all the time is a recipe for disaster. We’re probably 2 legit relievers away from Taylor being able to open.Just a terribly managed game….once again Venable might get his guys to play hard, but dating back to last year, he is terrible with in-game strategy and bullpen management. He gets the gift of being compared to the worst manager ever.How do you not use Sosa there? Also, everyone needs to stop bunting!Bergolla has no place to play, and he’s way too slappy to start with.Simply put, either DH him, bench him or DFA him.Was just gonna type this. What a jokeChoked up right away..it was the definition of a slappy approachThere are 5 guys in this lineup that any average team would be batting 9th, if they had to play them. Somehow the Getz apologists will all blame this on the Baldwin injury.As someone said earlier, no excuse for Sosa not to be in the lineup somewhere. This looks like a split-squad lineup.Slappy slappy slappyStill wonder how someone could scout him and think it would ever work at this level.No confidence in his strike throwing ability at allHis approach is never going to work. No idea how he can cover the outside pitch.Just such a terrible team. The bullpen is 2-3 deep.
