Baltimore Orioles (18-12, T-1st, +2.5) @ Minnesota Twins (8-23, 5th -13.5)

Streak / L10

BAL: +2, Won 4 of 6 / L10: 6-4

MIN: -5, Lost 6 of 7 / L10: 1-9

Game 2 (8:10)

(QS=2)Kevin Gausman (0-1) 1.42 (0.68/.152), 14/3 (1HR)

vs.

(QS=0)Jose Berrios (1-1) 6.75 (1.71/.257), 5/2 (2HR)

Kevin Gausman: Gausman has allowed only three earned in his three starts thus far with his best coming in his last against the Yankees. He threw eight innings of three hit ball and didn't walk anyone, but remains winless despite his best efforts. His one start at Discount Retailer Field was horrible and his numbers against the Twins in three starts are just as bad. Despite the low WHIP/BAA, he has allowed 13 earned in 18 innings against the Twins. He does have 19Ks, though. Mauer and Sano have done the most damage against him, but this seems to be a new Kevin Gausman and this Twins team is certainly not what it was when his starts were made.

Danny Santana 1/6

Miguel Sano 2/5, 2HR, 4RBI

Eddie Rosario 0/5, 3K

Eduardo Nunez 1/3

Oswaldo Arcia 0/3

Jose Berrios: Berrios will make his third career start in this one and probably isn't thrilled about the team he's facing. Berrios is having a lot of trouble with lefties which could mean we see more of Alvarez and Kim in the Orioles lineup. Berrios is not having trouble striking people out as he has 13 of them in 9.1 innings, but also has seven walks. His one start at Discount Retailer Field wasn't a good one, but his road start was solid. Still, it looks like the Orioles are going to have chances against Berrios in this one.

Well, game one was rained out and I apparently had the pitchers wrong as Tillman was going to start instead of Wilson. Sometimes, I just can't keep up with the last minute changes; either that or I just missed something. MLB.com had Wilson / Berrios (and still has them), but oh well. I get them wrong sometimes, but hopefully this one isn't wrong. Berrios will still go, but will face KG instead. It doesn't look good for the Twins in this one unless Berrios can surprise and the offense can manage to get to Gausman. This rainout really sucks since these were three games the Orioles had a very good chance to win and come away with a sweep, but now we only get two. It would suck to lose to this team right now, but the Twins could surprise.. I guess?

Boston has won two in a row again and have pulled back even with the Orioles for first place with a 2.5 game lead over TB. The Rays and Jays are currently playing their games, but TB has won four in a row and have pulled into third ahead of Toronto who has lost two straight and sit 3.5 back. The Yankees remain six back in last place. At this time, there is no score in the TB/SEA game and Toronto leads SF 3-0 with both games in the bottom of the third. In the Central, the Twins could fall back further (as if it matters at this point) depending on what the White Sox do as they are currently in a 4-4 tie against Texas in the bottom of the 10th.

Checked intelllicast.com and nasty front bearing down.

The stuff to the west doesn't look to be moving all that fast and should take a couple hours to get to MN if it holds together. The stuff to the east doesn't seem to be a threat either. Should get this one in.

      I've kind of heard the same thing. It's not just a lack of power that regresses in Aberdeen, but the K-BB ratio have typically been among the worse for the players who eventually made the big leagues (Gunnar, Adley, Cowser, Westburg) and had success.

      FCL Orioles 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I'm a fan of Koby's and I think he's done a great job down there under some difficult circumstances. I'm hopeful the new training facility down there will help get more talent to sign with the Orioles. Saying that, I agree that we need to start seeing more guys out of that program able to compete well once they hit the states. I know some got upset at more just [providing facts about the players who are failing when they get to A-ball but it's just the truth. Outside of Basallo and now Bencosme to a lesser extent, none of the international guys have had any real success once they hit Delmarva. So it's one of two things at this point. Kobe and his team are missing a lot (I haven't researched to see how others teams Latin American players are doing) or they are not being prepared well to compete at full season ball levels. It's really weird how they can show pretty good plate discipline and some pop in the FCL, then look like they have no business facing Caroline League pitchers. And before the excuse is, "They're young," they're not that much younger than the other teams that are beating them up.  There was a lot of money spent on Maikol Hernandez, Braylin Tavera and Luis Almeyda and while the book is not finished on Tavera and Almeyda by any means, they are going to have to show something here soon. Good young players with major league promise typically can compete with older players. Basallo has done it. The special ones do.  It's a little weird that Liranzo hasn't played the first two games either. Either he's banged up or they just don't think he's ready to compete against FCL pitching because he should be a priority play.  Now it's not time to give up on any of these guys (minus Hernandez is just a miss) I mentioned and Thomas Sosa has hit a little bit and is competing though his K's are pretty high. It's just time for some of these guys to step up.

      Another Positive Indicator for the Orioles Season to Date

      This discussion brings up a point I floated yesterday about Wells or Kremer being a risky option for late relief because of the HR ball. Now I wonder, is that true or false? A run is a run is  run. Seems like ERA might be a better litmus test for picking a closer (or any pitching role except extra innings, where it does seem obvious that high K rate is best).

      We had 3 or 4 guys from one class (2022?) make the FCL 2024 top 20 prospects list at the end of the season.  DeLeon is doing well and Arias, Tavera, and Sosa are off to slow starts.   That was the first class where I’d say we had caught up to everyone else.   Now we’ll see how Almeyda and Liranzo (2023 class do in the FCL) but they and Koby Perez will ultimately be judged by how they do in Delmarva and how many become contributors at the ML level. I’d say Basallo, Bencosme, Chace, Portes, DeLeon are a decent starter kit but we certainly need to see a few more top prospects emerge.

      If Coby Mayo Can Play Average ML 3B Defense

      Love the looks of this all-homegrown roster! Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely due to: a) it's probably never been done; b) injury or other nonperformance issues; c) the good chances of a "very big trade" or two from this stable of position talent to bring in some pitching help.

      Kimbrel is striking out 14.9 per 9.   Lack of strikeouts hasn’t been an issue for him.
