Tyler Wilson: Wilson will see the Astros for the first time here and is coming off his worst start this season of six innings, five runs, six hits and three walks against Seattle. We will see if his last start is the tip of an iceberg of struggles or not.

Collin McHugh: After struggling a lot in April, McHugh is doing a bit better in May with a 3.87 (1.33), but has allowed four home runs in four starts and Houston has lost back to back games he started. McHugh hasn't done well at home in five starts despite pitching well for his career at Beverage Maker Park, but not all that well against Baltimore in three starts.

Matt Wieters 0/3

Mark Trumbo 2/2

Pedro Alvarez 1/1, 3-R HR

It took 13 innings, but the Astros outlast the Orioles and win 3-2 which is the second loss in a row for the Orioles as the offensive drought continues until the next blowout. I'm tired, but so are both bullpens. The rest of the series should be interesting.

Ok, so Tyler Wilson may be entering a window where he will need to adjust to the league (inevitable at some point) while McHugh's track record against the Orioles isn't good either nor are his early home numbers in five starts this season. Who knows?

Boston won today extending their streak to a +3 and the Yankees extend their streak to +6 as they have suddenly found some momentum and now find themselves in a much better situation than they were a couple weeks ago. In the Central, the White Sox continue to fall allowing the Indians to pull within 1.5 games and KC within two and both those teams have won seven of 10 while the Sox have lost seven of 10. Detroit has also climbed above .500 having won four in a row and eight of 10 to within three games of the lead. The Central is suddenly a very tight division with the Twins being the only weak team. In the West, the M's and A's are still early in their game and Texas won today six games up on the third place Angels whom they beat.

I like the shuffling of the lineup, particularly with the offense doing as badly as they have been lately.

Have Machado lead-off to give the opposing pitcher an immediate daunting challenge, and give Schoop a puncher's chance at a home run or a double in his 4 or 5 plate appearances immediately afterward.

ooo :Doooooo :Doooooo :D

      But he's 82nd percentile in barrel percentage and 92nd percentile in Whiff. I saw some some high EVs that were hit at 60 degree angles or more which were pop ups. I'm not saying he's a long term piece. I'd need to see it for longer than two starts, but I like the stuff overall, especially if he can get his curveball over more often to give another look to the change and cutter.

      The rookie is a #2 overall selection, now 25 years old, who battled back from missing significant time with non-baseball related illness, was called up last season but had mostly sit behind a mediocre performing veteran (Hays), and is performing better at the minor league levels than Hays ever did. But, I guess he hasn’t paid his dues and is just temporarily holding a spot for the guy who was fortunate enough to come up when he was much younger and the organization was in bad shape.

      Bird Tapes

      By John Eisenberg · Posted

      Jumping on to make sure everyone here knows about the Orioles history project I've started this season. It's called the Bird Tapes . When I wrote my oral history book about the team a quarter-century ago, I interviewed all the major figures in franchise history and kept the microcassette tapes that I used while recording those interviews. They sat in a shoebox in my closet for years but now I've had them digitized and I'm going to be rolling them out in weekly posts along with some new writing that connects the Orioles' past to the present. The Bird Tapes is housed on the Substack media platform. The web address is birdtapes.substack.com. It's a subscription-based model and subscribers gain access to the vintage interviews for a small monthly fee. So far I have posted my quarter-century-old interviews with Brooks Robinson, Earl Weaver and Ernie Harwell, the legendary broadcaster who was the Orioles' first play-by-play man. Next up: Paul Blair. I've written articles about Mark Belanger and Brooks, and much, much more is coming. The response to the rollout of the Bird Tapes has been great so far. Please subscribe if interested at birdtapes.substack.com.

      We drafted him for his elite speed and defense. If the bat plays - he could be a star. If not, he could still be a useful piece. You don't see the same projections from Cowser, Westburg or Kjerstad because those were bat-first players. There's a reason we're having trouble finding space for guys like Kjerstad and Norby.  Also you're going to say it might be his first draft flop after 13 games at A+? Wild.

      Kjerstad.  It’s more about Mountcastle.  If Mountcastle is healthy he’s at 1B everyday.  Against RHP there are no spots available for Kjerstad.   They aren’t platooning him against LHP.  Ain’t gonna happen.   Unless Mountcastle is down for an extended period or someone else gets hurt this is going to be a short stay for Kjerstad.        Now criers gonna cry the same way they do when you mention the possibility of Holliday getting sent down.  Lol Now, I hope Holliday goes 4-4 and Kjerstad hits two homers tonight.
