Orioles swept by the Astros in their worst series in years

The Baltimore Orioles had a really bad weekend. They were swept by the Houston Astros in maybe their worst series performances since the days of the rebuild. Host Connor Newcomb recaps all three games and tells you what wrong for the Orioles in Houston, including the bullpen falling apart on Friday, the bats going quiet Saturday and Sunday, and another tough outing for Albert Suarez.

Connor, I think the format today that didn't hew to "five things you need to know" worked well.

[@wesleyvaughn5465]

Right now the houston astros looked like a wild card team and if the orioles have to play them at the end of the season in the first round you can expect us to go home early again

[@CamKrazy2000]

The Suarez experiment is over. He was a nice story but they can't possibly expect him to play a major role other than an emergency starter/middle reliever. They must make moves for more pitching unless they plan on winning multiple AAA championships which nobody cares about. Kjerstad needs to be in the lineup for a while and Cowser needs to sit. I don't think anybody on this team whiffs more on off-speed pitches in the zone than Cowser. He has lived off his hot April for almost two months now. His sub-600 OPS since the hot start doesn't justify his playing time.

[@afguy79]

True, but "Our Milkman brings all the fans to the yard." 😂

[@bobbleheadbob]

As an Astros fan; I think y’all can win the WS this year as currently constructed. But I think you’re at the point now where you gotta start pushing the chips all in, trade some of that excessive position player talent and go get yourself a stud arm rental. You got a fun group, if my Astros don’t make the playoffs I’m rooting for y’all!

[@NomadicBrian]

The Orioles at the Astros was like the movie 'The Lost Weekend' where the character spends an entire weekend drunk and in trouble. One bad day following another in hopeless despair.

[@wesleyvaughn5465]

We have no consistent power hitter in airline up.We have no-hitters that are even close to hitting 300 and stood at driving in runs.The whole line up strikes out two or three times a game

[@LockedOnOrioles]

you could have just said "I don't pay attention" and saved a lot of typing

[@michaeljones9530]

😂​@@LockedOnOrioles

[@afguy79]

Connor, update your advertisement dialogue. You said, "NBA Playoffs pretty much over," and didn't even realize. 😂

[@dereklewis8934]

Being a Astros fan.... I like the Orioles, you all have a really good team and I especially love anybody who beats the Yankees... I'm not going to lie... I thought the Orioles was going to come to town and do major damage!

[@Idefinitelydk]

I think its been a long month and the boys just need a little rest. Team has looked great so far great month even w/ sweep

[@rogerstumbo1731]

Orioles are gonna be fine!!!! Tankee's we all need to worry about!!!!! There a threat this season and i knew this since opening day series....

[@Pchorney]

Yes, we know there are some issues, however, this is a long stretch of games. Very little rest. Bunch of travel in the heat going to play hard teams. It’s all about context. The O’sgonna be fine.

[@BluRadoZ71]

They need to figure out the pitching. The pitching was great but it's quickly falling apart with the injuries. The offense is what they have always been. They are either hot or cold. Nothing in between. They were hot before the Astros and just like a light switch they went straight to cold.

[@susantownsend8397]

Astros fan to Orioles fans: don’t panic. I predict this is going to turn out to be a blip on your radar. We caught fire at just the right time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m celebrating the sweep 😅.

[@Quijoteb]

In our side we are saying we got lucky game 1. The new pitches worked out but that 7 run inning felt like “here we loose again” Montero is an overpaid train-wreck

[@schlootle]

As little faith that I have in Montero, he really should have gotten out of that without an earned run. With 2 outs in the inning and 2 strikes on the batter the umpires fucked up a check swing call where the batter failed to check his swing by quite a bit but the 1B umpire missed it. That led to a RBI double and 2 run home run. Nick Martinez should not have been in the game for that long, but Espada REALLY didn't want to use more pitchers

[@bobbleheadbob]

Montero has been much better this year compared to last. His contract though is absurd, it’s almost as bad as Jose Abreu’s

[@nathanlandolt5505]

It's pounce not bounce... I might be mishearing you though

[@davidstockman7405]

Orioles would have easily swept the Astros if they had played in April or May but as an Astros fan, hope y’all win the east.

[@Tommy_mri]

Astros are ass. Back to cheating

[@LA-en1yz]

​@@Tommy_mri alot of excuses

[@bobbleheadbob]

@@Tommy_mrideep breaths my man, it’s gonna be okay

[@Tommy_mri]

@@bobbleheadbob I’m fine orioles are tired and Astros can’t help but cheat oh well Blanco caught on quick

[@bobbleheadbob]

@@Tommy_mri If you want to play that game, what’s your excuse for getting swept by the rangers at home last year in the playoffs? Impressive performance.

[@jms3261]

"Not quite the time to panic"?? Irvin and Suarez have turned back into pumpkins. Beyond the poop tossing Pavich there is nothing in the way of pitching prospects in the system. Nothing. Now, watch the majority of the organizational talent the rebuild made possible quickly wither away in the unrelenting pursuit of pitching. Burnes, let's not forget, is a one year rental. Lack of farm system pitching will be Elias' achilles heel.

[@turtledove1927]

where my comment?

[@mikekellum6238]

Choking in June instead of October. No big deal.
