What a difference a week makes. Team is back to hitting poorly with RISP. Heard a lot about accountability on the timeline, that includes everyone especially players.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

@JulianTBaron When are people going to hold the players accountable?

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

Another gutting loss with several 50/50 calls going against the O’s. Clutch hitting is spotty. Gunnar needs to get a big hit this season. One. Frustrating.

[Jacob Calvin Meyer @jcalvinmeyer]

The Orioles lose 6-5 to the Mariners.

Four straight losses. The momentum from last homestand is gone.

Baltimore is 31-37.

Field your position Keegan.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

At what point do you move on from O’Neil?

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

@GlennClarkRadio Poor Tom Davis. At least he found a park bench to tape from instead of the Rofo parking lot.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

@JoePolek Look at me, I’m mad.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

When was the last time Gunnar had a clutch hit?

[MLB @MLB]

The Orioles place plaques on the street outside right field for every home run that lands there 😮⚾

Eutaw Street features dozens of bronze discs that mark all of the homers that have landed there in Oriole Park history - all 134 of them

The spot is carefully marked when a homer lands there, then plaques are created after the season and laid out the following spring

A critical ruling on Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement running out of the base path in the Orioles’ 6-4 loss on Sunday was made in error.

@PigTownSports Hitting approach is about the long ball. Not a clutch hitter. Defense suspect. Should be at 3B.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

You can’t go back and change a call or admit that you blew it so you get a bunch of garbage to explain it away. On to the next series.

[Matt Weyrich @ByMattWeyrich]

Crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt and 2B umpire Nic Lentz explained the Ernie Clement call to a pool reporter and said Gunnar Henderson was still in the act of fielding when Clement established his wide base path.

“It was actually a very gentlemanly thing to do,” said Wendelstedt.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

@JaysClubhouse @JomboyMedia No attempt to tag? He reaches out.

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

@JakeDRill @KenWeinmanSport I appreciated Alby making the point on Holliday’s play. He should have pressed and got ejected. He evaded the tag by running towards center.

[Jake Rill @JakeDRill]

2nd-base umpire Nic Lentz to a pool reporter:

“The runner has a right to establish his basepath. And so, Clement had established his basepath to avoid the fielder from potential interference. And even though that Henderson reached out for a tag, Clement’s basepath was already established out there going to 2nd base. So therefore, it was not out of the baseline.”

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

What are we doing?

[Matt Jergensen @MattJergs]

Out of the baseline. Ridiculous
