3 Orioles most to blame for crushing Game 1 loss to Rangers

2. Adam Frazier

Adam Frazier came into the game in the bottom of the fourth inning as a pinch hitter. He was anything but clutch when the Orioles needed him to be.

Frazier's first at-bat was with men on first and second. He worked into a 2-0 count and stranded them on a pop up. Even worse, he had a man on first in his second at-bat with a 3-0 count. He blew that with a fly out as well. Finally, Frazier represented the final out in the game with a ground out to third.

He got into good positions against pitchers who were struggling to put things in the zone but he wasted those opportunities.

The pinch hitter was given a huge responsibility in a playoff game for the Orioles. He didn't do a thing to suggest he deserves to be in that spot again.

But Frazier didn't put himself in the game. The person who did deserves a far bigger piece of the blame....
