It looks like a 2-1 score game. I hope the O's get the 2 runs

I'll take a double

Ump has a different strike zone for each team.

The umpire has a small strike zone. I am happy we got out of the jam.

Understand that Elias is looking big long term picture here but the fact that he's done nothing so far to improve the MLB club (i.e. getting a controllable MLB starter) that is still technically in a WC race is ridiculous to me. Who freggin cares if you eek into the playoffs and are one and done? It is exciting for the fans and helps the current players get the experience. I know I am in the minority here but just my 0.02..
How long will it take for the O's to be a contender again?
-
I hope that Elias told by Angelos to trade Lopez just to save money?
-
If one pitcher from the trade turns into a solid starter, then I would agree it to be a good trade. If another one turns into a good bullpen piece it is a bonus.

I am disappointed in the trade, no blue chippers in return. Quantity is not quality or improvement.
How about the experience we have in 2022 on winning and team confidence going forward.
You can't trade for confidence on winning.

I guess I will have to accept a loss to the 2nd worst team in NL.

The game is tied 2-2

At the beginning of the year or even halfway through the year I had have said he was least likely of the positional players to be traded. Now I am starting to wonder if he is the guy that might be best option to move. The Astros are wanting a 1B/DH and willing to give up a controllable starter for it. Mountcastle is starting to look like he won’t get to the ceiling we had of him because of his lack of plate discipline. He also looks like a very streaky hitter and has a hit stretch but then cold stretches longer then you would like. It is tough to have a big bat in the middle that in a blink of an eye go completely cold and also doesn’t walk or get on base via walk much. His defense although better seems to be average at best and he is destined for 1st. I know we don’t currently have a 1st baseman in the minors but looking at the prospects we have and current roster we have Westburg, Urias, Mateo, Henderson, Varva for the other three infield positions. Then you have Colby Mayo coming who is a big young power hitter coming. I am starting to think it might be best organization wise to move him to first where there is an opening or at least make him a corner infielder that can play 1st and 3rd. I know Mancini is the most likely guy on current roster to be moved but his return doesn’t seem to be as much. Would it be better to keep Mancini this year and pick up his option which is bit expensive but you save the money on having to sign a free agent pitcher if you get one of the Astros controllable starters. Mancini then can pass the baton to Mayo in 2024 assuming they don’t think Mayo injury series. Would you trade Mountcastle for any of Javier/Uriqudy/Garcia/Valdez would Astros do it? Elias knows that system well and knows those guys so he should be able to evaluate who he likes of those 4 as well which is a plus.
I would want a quality prospect or prospects in return.

We had trouble with Minor before

a hitter batter don't help.

Umpire won't call strikes for the O's pitchers.

Hyde insists in leaving Lopez in knowing he doesn't have it. How do I understand this?
-
Too bad Santander struck out in the 9th.

You are too critical and judgmental. Get a life.

Why didn't we pick Porter instead of Beaver? Porter was undrafted in the first round. It really pi....s me off.

I lolled. Kevin Brown has really grown on me this year. And Palmer is always the GOAT.
Kevin Brown sounds like Joe Buck. I wish he does radio play by play.

If I had to choose a team to root for OTHER than the O's, I think it would be the Cubs. Or maybe the Giants.
For me it's the Mets.

The O's were robbed a run. A check swing by Morel went around and ump said he held up. The next pitch he hit for a triple.

Awesome O's. What a treat this year

Why does Hyde give rest to some of our best hitters when yesterday was an off day? They had enough rest.
