"And like, you know, they've only started winning recently and the air in the clubhouse is different when there's like expectations and things like that." "Even with different personnel, the vibe in the Astros' clubhouse has always been the same, the standard has always been high even through new managers... You know, if I'm a bettin' man, and I'm betting what team do I think has a better record at the end, I still kind of feel like it's the Astros."

Orioles outplayed by Yankees as pressure builds to add veterans (Image Source: Getty) The Baltimore Orioles have a lot of young players, and some of them, such as Gunnar Henderson , are already stars. They've made the playoffs two years in a row. But all is not well. The Orioles got beat up by the Yankees, and some folks believe they are missing something. MLB veteran Trevor Plouffe feels that the team needs older, more experienced players to guide them. Gunnar Henderson hits a home run but Orioles still lose big Tuesday night, Gunnar Henderson gave Orioles fans a little something to cheer about. He homered in the seventh inning, his third of the season. He has a five-game hitting streak and is getting better at the plate. But unfortunately, that was the best moment for Baltimore. The Yankees devastated the Orioles by 15-3. New York scored five runs in the first inning and continued to score in the fourth and fifth innings. The Orioles' pitching just couldn't hold them back. The Yankees hit six home runs. Two of them were by Ben Rice. The rest were by Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, and Trent Grisham with one each. The Orioles couldn't match that. Their sole home run was by Gunnar Henderson. Gunnar Henderson paces Young Orioles but club might require Veterans Despite talented youngsters such as Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, the Orioles are not doing well this year. They now have 11 wins and 18 losses. They are last in the AL East. The fans are beginning to get concerned about the direction of the team. This was discussed by former MLB player Trevor Plouffe. He said the Orioles are nice, but they're still pretty young. He thinks they need veteran players, older teammates who can lead, address the group, and teach them how to win games that are hard to win. Trevor Plouffe described, "You need to bring in veterans for teams like this. They're still a fairly young team." Pundits on social media are now discussing this concept. Some agree with Trevor Plouffe. Others remain convinced about the young guns such as Gunnar Henderson. But one thing is certain: the Orioles need to shape up quickly if they desire to make it to the playoffs again.
