I was watching MLBN last night and they had a show on about the top 40 moments in LCS history. The Orioles have played in 10 ALCS and only got mentioned once and that was the Jeffery Maier game. What are your top Orioles ALCS moments?

Good Memories:

1979 ALCS Game 1 - John Lowenstein's 10th inning home run.

1979 ALCS Game 4 - Doug DeCinces grabs Jimmy Anderson's shot down the line keeping Angels off the board.

1983 ALCS Game 2 - Mike Boddicker's masterpiece.

1983 ALCS Game 4 - Tito Landrum 10th inning home run.

1997 ALCS Game 1 - Brady Anderson's lead off home run.

Bad Memories:

1979 ALCS Game 3 - Angels come from behind win.

1983 ALCS Game 1 - Lamar Hoyt's masterpiece.

1996 ALCS Game 2 - Jeffrey Maier

1997 ALCS Game 6 - Tony Fernandez 12th inning home run.

2014 ALCS All Games - Herrea -Davis - Holland

Mike Mussina's 15 K performance in Game 3 of the 1997 ALCS was one of the most dominating performances I'd ever seen from a pitcher then and now, and the scary part was he was just as good in Game 6 with the season on the line. Of course they lost both games, but it was no fault of Mussina.

1974 A.L.C.S., Game Four

It was an afternoon game, and in Garden Street School (my elementary school), they would let us watch the postseason baseball games while school was in session.

Even though the Orioles lost, I was so proud while I was sitting in front of the TV in the classroom, being the only Oriole fan in the class that was watching his team in the postseason.

1969 Game 1 - Os win 4-3 over the Twins in 12 innings on Paul Blair's 2 out bunt single. Powell homered in last of ninth to tie the game. F Robinson and Belanger (yes Belanger) also homered earlier.

1969 Game 2 - Os win 1-0 in 11 innings. A complete game, 3-hit, shutout by McNally.

I was at both games and called Blair's bunt before it happened.

Mark Belanger has the claim to fame for being the first player to hit a home run in the ALCS.

Didn't Rick Dempsey play on that Twins team?

Yep, Dempsey had a brief cup of coffee with both the '69 and '70 Twins, although he didn't play in either ALCS against the Orioles.

      Lost in the cut play was that HJ got no help from Holliday who hesitated as if he had to cover the bag (he's not a 2b yet).   HJ made a poor throw but Holliday has to be in the correct position for the cut-not running and expecting the RF to pick him up.  Palmer thought they had a play at second but with Holliday hesitating and not lined up he would have to catch the ball then set and then throw against his momentum which isn't easy.  Not excusing the poor throw but the execution of the throw is a lot easier if the first cut in lined up correctly and not still moving.

      Grayson command (at least to me) is unusually poor for an elite starter.  He often gets away with it because his stuff is so darn nasty.  Even last night, Grayson got 14 swing and misses. all that being said, I do wonder if Grayson was tipping his pitches again (it was speculated in 1H23).  Because the Angels got such high EVs on a variety of different pitch types, and not just sitting on one specific pitch.

      I like how you credit Elias and Company for developing Grayson but forget that Hall showed little progress under their development. I don't see how you can look at what they have accomplished with hitters and think, hey, let's also try and give them credit for a pitcher that Dan's team selected. Is what they've accomplished with hitters not enough to warrant a thread praising them? The post would be a lot stronger without trying to shoehorn in the pitcher.

      5 turns along Grayson sits 5th in 4-seam fastball velo among SP, lagging... Hunter Greene, 2019 TJ Jared Jones, a survivor like him, so far doing exciting things Jordan HIcks, 2019 TJ Dylan Cease, 2014 TJ Grayson got to 3000 game pitches in 2023; Jared Jones' 2022-2023 looks like 2050 and 2067 pitches according to Fangraphs.

      None of this equals having great command. He gave up 2 runs over 6 innings in his prior start vs Minnesota. Fits the qualifiers mentioned in your post - he did not have great command.

      Agreed.  It is the whole organization.  Hyde for me also does not get enough credit. But the first hire was the most important, Elias and the first person he hired was Sig.  I also think we will see a huge impact from the International Scouting Director in the next 2-3 years.  It is just unreal that if a baseball fan could pick any team today to be a fan of for the next 5-10 years they would almost have to pick the Orioles.
