00:47game winning rbi laying out an infield single in the sixth inning of game number two kansas city

00:54sends the o's pack in drs baltimore bounced in a sweep in each of its first two playoff series

01:02last year as the number one seed earned the opening round by in the ds against the rangers

01:07this year in the wild card round and only two games against kansas city you got a great start

01:13out of corbin burns in game number one you didn't score any runs and you lost that can't happen

01:18game number two like efflin goes out you know it's a playoff all hands on deck game number two

01:22he goes four innings pitched and one earned runs which basically matches seth lugo but your offense

01:27once again only provided you with one run one total run through 18 innings of playoff baseball

01:33you're not going to win those series you're not going to move on and it's so disappointing

01:36because sometimes ben you say all right what's going to happen here the orioles just didn't

01:40have it like warren burns was really good on the mound but the other pitching just suspect we lost

01:44both of those games seven to six because we knew baltimore could hit but the fact of the matter is

01:49once again ben we just look at the box score and i like to say give me the crystal ball kansas city

01:54is going to score three runs in the first two games that's a sweep for the orioles the orioles

01:59are moving on to the next round but their offense was so bad and it's something that we couldn't

02:03even foresee now granted baltimore didn't play the best baseball in the month of august and

02:07september we understand that but that one through nine is really really talented and it wasn't as if

02:13you said well what did you want us to do we faced chris sale in game number one and scuba in game

02:17number two we just couldn't hit those two pitchers are absolutely filthy dominant that's not what

02:21happened here with the kansas city royals did the royals pitch well yes they did that's a hitter's

02:25ballpark in camden yards you can't score one run and go home this is probably as painful as an exit

02:31as you're going to get where we had so many high expectations in the month of may june and july like

02:37wow the orioles not only can win this division they can be the number one overall seed it's a

02:41fun baseball team to watch can't wait to get to the playoffs and it just ended with a thud
