Orioles: RHP Tyler Wilson (4-5, 4.50) has won his last two decisions, although in his previous start he allowed 10 hits and five runs in five innings of a 12-5 victory over Tampa Bay. In two career appearances against Seattle, Wilson is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA.

Mariners: LHP James Paxton (1-3, 4.15) is one of the pitchers Servais is counting on in the second half despite just one win this season. He has had one career start against Baltimore, a 4 1/3-inning no-decision.

Wilson has only left the game three times this season with a game ERA of under four. Over the last eight starts, he has done it only once and his numbers over that span reflect that. He has allowed eight runs on 19 hits and three walks over the 11 innings since his start at Boston and allowed 10 runs in 9.2 IP in the two starts prior to that start. He has pitched at his best on the road though and he has never pitched at Insurance Company Field. However, the M's have hammered him pretty well over the seven innings he has seen them.

41K / 11BB, 3HR

QS: 2

Paxton is a decent arm, but he has struggled this season with getting people out whether they are righties or lefties. He has had three pretty good starts and three pretty bad starts with two of them coming in his last two starts. In 12.2 innings, he allowed 19 hits, five walks and nine runs. He has not, however, allowed a home run in four starts and he has gotten through at least six innings in four of his six starts. He has pitched better at home, but his last start against StL was at home and it wasn't good; five runs in five innings. In the other two home starts against Cleveland and Texas, he allowed a total of one earned run in 12.1 IP on 11 hits, three walks and a home run.

Once again, Gausman couldn't hold on to a lead and gave up two home runs. One was a monster shot to Seth Smith in the first inning and the other was a two run blast off the bat of Seager in the sixth inning which ended up being the ballgame. Dae Ho Lee hit a two run shot of his own against Chaz Roe later in the game to seal the victory 5-2. The M's are playing really well right now after a rough June and will look to wrap up the series win tonight against Tyler Wilson with James Paxton on the mound.

Paxton has struggled this season especially over the last two starts, but he was pitching well before that for a few games so he is capable. Meanwhile, Wilson just hasn't been very good over the last eight starts and has not fared well in limited action against the M's.

Boston gained a game on the Orioles with their win last night and pull to within four games while Toronto lost to Cleveland in 19 innings for their second loss in a row and ultimately had to send position players to the mound. They sent Ryan Goins to the mound in the 18th who was apparently throwing knuckleballs, but the game winning home run came off of Darwin Barney. Can the Indians keep it going after that marathon game? They have now won 14 in a row and play a day game against Toronto today and currently trail 3-1 in the first inning. KC lost yesterday falling to a half game out of the WC while Detroit has won four in a row and are one game out. The Astros have taken that WC spot for now as they continue to just win having won four in a row now and 8.5 back of Texas. Can the Astros make the division interesting in the West? They are playing some great baseball right now.

    • If every major sport can have reply for impactful calls, then baseball needs to follow suit ASAP.  Yes, we can reply certain things in mlb, but the technology is there and it is being used in the minors with great success for strikes/balls. It makes 0 sense to keep letting awful calls by the umpire impact the outcome of games.
    • Now back to Gunnar, Gunnar is in the midst of most likely the greatest individual season in Orioles history. And we have 21/22 pages on him and what 80 on Holliday? 
    • https://www.mlb.com/news/juan-soto-mookie-betts-lead-second-2024-mvp-award-poll?partnerId=it-20240521-9913924-mlb-1-A&utm_id=it-20240521-9913924-mlb-1-A&lctg=225315104   Article about MVP race. What do those two have or do that Gunnar doesn't?
    • I agree with the part of your post of maybe trying Cowser with his higher OBP and prior saying to get on base at the top of the lineup and maybe moving Gunnar into the 3 hole to give him an opportunity to hit with men on base. And I can even go along with Westburg in the cleanup spot though I would hate to move O’Hearn down in the lineup. But it is clear that those 5 are the best hitters on the team. However, I do not agree with “phasing out” Mullins, Hays, and especially Santander. That’s 3 outfielders with MLB track records (Mullins and Santander have especially good track records). I don’t leave in the fantasy land that we can bring up prospects to outproduce solid MLB guys (right away). The empirical data in 2024 suggests that the notion is a pipe dream more than something that has a lot of merit. Very few (even top prospects in the last couple of years) come to MLB right away, hit the ground running, and been good offensive players. I know fans don’t like hearing this, but it takes time. Elias’ philosophy of “one acclimating young player/prospect/rookie at a time” appears to be the most prudent approach. Our best/most realistic hope for improvement this season IMO lies with 2 things - 1) Finding a a guy or two at the back end of the pen who can get strikeouts consistently/nail things down. 2) One or two of the veteran outfielders breaking out of their slumps and getting things going. 3) Mateo continuing to be a functional offensive player at the bottom of the order. (That last one is particularly hard for me to say/admit because of how much I love Holliday. But right now he is not ready to contribute at the MLB level. And that’s okay because he’s still on 20).
    • This is quite a development if true. Wonder what that might say about Bradfield.  The only way to find out is if Jackson starts getting starts in CF.
    • I doubt Bradfield would be top 50 even with those numbers.  No doubt that Etzel has outplayed Bradfield and has exceeded all expectations, however.  
    • Gunnar has already had 19 more PA than the #2 most (Adley), 22 more PA than the #3 most (Santander), 27 more PA than #4 (Westburg), and 29 more PA than #5 (Mountcastle).  That is just over 1/4 of the season.   Batting him 4th means that he will very often get only 4 PA per game instead of 5, and that 5th PA will take place at a critical time in the 9th inning.  He hits a HR every 12.6 PAs (this year & every 19.9 PA career) so batting him second is coughing up 1-2 HR so far this season, 3rd or 4th is -3HR....and that's in just a little over 1/4 of the season.  So, by moving him to 3rd or 4th you're taking away ~10HR over the course of a full season.    Instead of putting him lower in the line-up, I'd like to see a higher OBP guy in front of him in the 9 spot.  Gunnar has the tools to be a tremendous lead-off hitter.
