They have the potential to be very, very, very bad. They will score some runs, but their starting pitching could be one of the worst ever, especially if Bundy pitches like he did all Spring. Oh, and their bullpen is not very good either and will get tons of use. You could see pitching by committee with them early in the season I foresee a lot of losses and a lot of overs!!

Bet the UNDER 58'. How in the hell are they going to improve over last year?

As far as Angelos goes, MLB wants answers and they better have a good one come June. That guy ruined what was once a great franchise. He certainly pushed me away.

I bet it at 59.5 as soon as it came out. Do not see how they win 50.

My grandfather was one of the biggest O's fans ever. Had season tickets, kept score, etc. The only good thing about him no longer being with us is that he did not get to see Peter Angelos and his idiot spawn ruin this franchise. I do not like even thinking about it, especially since Angelos is basically a modern day robber baron who made all his money on asbestos and tobacco suits. And do not get me started on his kids.

Quick side note. Took my Dad many years ago to Ruth Chris in Baltimore for his birthday and Peter Angelos was eating there. A fan went up to his table and started berating him for what he was doing to the Orioles and then we all joined in. It was awesome, he had to leave the restaurant. Good bday gift for Dad!!

Last year the O?s had 5 two game win streaks, 2 three game and 1 four game. I think they may be worse this year. I will be pounding the RL or ML almost every night. Doubling down after an Os win.

picking up where he left off last year. How would you like to have to sign his paycheck. He and his agent should be wearing masks.

(4-1):SIB


It's taken the 2019 Orioles just five games to match the team's longest winning streak from last season.

Andrew Cashner pitched six shutout innings and the Orioles extended a road winning streak to four for the first time since 2016 with a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night before another small crowd at Rogers Centre.

Baltimore had one four-game winning streak overall last year, when the Orioles finished with a big league-worst 115 losses.

"It's been fun," Cashner said after Baltimore improved to 4-1. "There's definitely a different culture in here. There's no pressure on these young guys. Nobody is counting on us to win so it's `Let's just go out there and play."

Jonathan Villar had two hits and scored once for the Orioles, who opened by winning two of three at the New York Yankees. With back-to-back wins in Toronto, they've strung together four road victories for the first time since July 5-16, 2016, at the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay.

"When I was looking ahead to the season, this is how I was hoping we would play," first-year manager Brandon Hyde said.

Baltimore's only four-game winning streak last year was from May 9-12 against Kansas City and Tampa Bay.

"We're having a really good time with each other," slugger Trey Mancini said. "I think that's the best part. Our team camaraderie is a good as any team I've ever been on, I'd say, and that goes a long way."

Baltimore had lost 10 straight at Toronto coming into the series.

Boosted by a $1 hot dog promotion, the game drew 12,110, up from 10,460 in Monday's series opener, Toronto's smallest crowd since 2010.

Cashner (1-1) allowed four hits, all singles, struck out three and walked three. He stranded the bases loaded in his final inning when Rowdy Tellez flied out on his first pitch.

"For him to compose himself and make a pitch to get out of the inning after 88 pitches at that point was huge," Hyde said.

Cashner didn't allow a hit until Justin Smoak's one-out single in the fourth. Danny Jansen followed by grounding into a double play.

Paul Fry worked two innings and former Blue Jay Miguel Castro got his first save despite allowing Tellez's second homer this season.

After throwing 12 consecutive scoreless innings to start his season, Marcus Stroman gave up Dwight Smith Jr.'s leadoff single in the sixth and Villar's triple. Mancini followed with an RBI single.

Stroman (0-1) allowed two runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings.

"He gave us a chance again," Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. "It's not easy pitching with no room for error."

Held hitless through three innings for the second straight night, the Blue Jays are hitting .018 (1 for 55) in the first three frames so far this season.

"We're not having good swings right now," Montoyo said. "I know this team is better than that."

SPREADING THE SAVES AROUND

The Orioles are the first team since the 1991 Padres to have four different relievers record saves in their first four victories of the season. Castro joined Richard Bleier, Paul Fry and Mike Wright.

"I wasn't guys to get their confidence up," Hyde said. "I think that's happening. You might see a new one tomorrow. Who knows?"

CD still no hits and 7 K's in 12 AB. I don't understand why they keep playing him. He should be cleaning the clubhouse or mowing the field. I feel embarrassed for him. I wonder how his wife handles it socially? Even she has to be embarrassed. What is the excuse? I don't get it.

I agree Jack...feel bad for the guy, who at one time was a feared Home Run guy in the league....and yes, he even had a shit ton ok K's during that period.....but this is an uncomfortably sad state of affairs....

Don't think the O's will enter into any big money, long term deal in the near future....

He should retire. Yesterday....

Taking up a roster spot he clearly doesn't deserve, nor earned.

Sad, how quickly great talent leaves ...... seems like over night.

Managers. :142smilie

Two nights ago the O's manager, whoever the hell he is, pulled their starter in the 7th with a no hitter going because he walked a batter. Relief comes in and immediately throws a HR ball.

Last night Toronto manager thought it was a good idea to intentionally walk Davis after the lead off man doubled. Walk Chris Davis? I think I could strike him out. :lol:
