Does anyone on this thread still believe this team has what it takes to make the post season.

Not I.
It's like clockwork for Chen. He can't go into the 7th. Buck will never learn...

You know, it's one thing to give up a home run to a great hitter like Tulowitzki. But to give up a home run to a guy that just hits his third of the year? Come on.....Not to mention the guy earlier in the game who hit his first career home run. They're giving up longballs to guys who shouldn't be hitting them in the first place.
As a last resort, here's what I would recommend for September: Call up every pitcher on the 40-man roster. That way, you could have someone warming up in the bullpen throughout the game so that quick hooks can be applied whenever needed. (Essentially, the idea is to pitch every game as a relay if that's what it takes to prevent giving up runs.)

Chen's weakness has always been he surrenders home runs. And it seems as though the entire BP has been giving up runs lately. The Orioles have been losing to sub .500 teams all year. Their offense has been producing less runs for some time now.
Add all those things together and it doesn't sum up to a post season appearance.
