Phil Backert Of Eutaw Street Report On A Tough Night For The Orioles In Oakland
Phil Backert writes for Eutaw Street Report and is a producer for Sirius/XM radio for Fantasy Sports.
Phil joined Ed and Rob to talk about the Orioles season so far and how far he thinks they can go in the playoffs.
Phil started off by talking about the lack of run support for Kevin Gausman saying "it's frustrating that he is just that pitcher that doesn't get the run support...even more frustrating though is the way this offense has been since July and the All-Star break." As for what is causing the offensive struggles for the birds Phil said "it's the fact that Chris Davis can't get a hit right now and Mark Trumbo is in a slump also...until those guys figure it out this is how it's going to be."
Phil went on to talk about how well Manny Machado and Adam Jones are producing right now at the plate, and how far he thinks the Orioles can go with their current lineup and pitching rotation.
