Orioles roster construction is a mess. It's  Home runs or bust. It's been this way for a while.

This weekend shows just how bad this roster is when compared to a contender. 

 

It's sucks we went through multiple 100 loss seasons for basically 1.5 seasons of contending baseball. 

Most of their young core has been busts or not able to stay on the field.

And Elias's unwillingness to actually sign a proven  front end starter long term is frustrating. 

Baz doesn't look like a 1 or 2 at this point.

 

 

They're gonna have to axe Elias. I'm not sure how you justify keeping him at this point. This is all his construction and it's come out terribly, smh

And you know what...I do not think we have a talent problem. That's why I'd be against any rebuild. I hope they don't sell at the deadline, because there aren't that many pieces left to sell without completely starting over! You would not get much from the vets we do have (and you're not selling Alonso, lol). It's not like last year...I think we're just gonna have to stand pat while we search for a new GM.

Tend to agree. Selling now signals a hard reset. But there is something wrong at the core of the organization.

This Os team might be worse than last years.

Verdict still not out.

They’re terrible. And the manager is the worst part. He has no idea how to manage a bullpen. Frankly, I’d be way happier with Showalter.
