Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Game 83 Overflow Thread

Trailing 5-3 and with Grienke at 86 pitches, naturally you bring in beloved former-Brave Horacio Ramirez.

All the teeth-gnashing we did when Moore pointlessly acquired him now seems justified. He hasn't stayed in the minors and he hasn't pitched in mop-up situations solamente either.

Haven’t really paid attention to the game. Tuned in when it was 5-1 in the 6th. I had to put my kid to bed. Finally get back to the game and turn it on just as Olivo goes to an 0-2 count. Am I good luck charm or what??
