  1. Don’t know if it was mentioned, but the O’s have moved passed the 1922-1924 Yankees who had 83 consecutive series without a sweep. We are now at 85. 20 to go to tie the second place 1903-05 NY Giants.
  2. I’m still scared from 2014. This could help with the trauma. Last 4 games have brought back miserable memories.
  3. Eve’s lineup suggestion playing tonight.
  4. How many rookies out there watch the first 6 innings?
  5. Gunnar of Hazzard got caught with his daisy dukes down…..again.
  6. Jackson Holliday has struggled in MLB debut so far, but here are three reasons to believe in Orioles prospect (msn.com) I agree, it does sum it up pretty nicely. I'm still not worried. It's been one week.....

    Walks

    The Orioles have walked the fewest batters so far in 2024. In a world of HRs and 3 outcomes, eliminating the Base on Balls is a viable strategy that we are seeing play out. It started in 2022 (443 BB 2.8 BB9 and continued in 2023 (473BB 2.9 BB9) both years finishing 7th in MLB. We now sit at #1 on the season. If you are going to pitch for this team, you better not give out free passes.
  9. I think Jackson has looked terrific. Am I'm not talking about results, but his approach and his body language. The kid has struggled mightily, and you wouldn't know it by looking at him. Thats one this that I find super impressive with Jackson, he's so damn professional and even keeled, especially for a 20 y/o. You can't tell if he just hit a HR or if he struck out. I think his approach has been great 1 - he's being aggressive and getting "A" swings off early in the count often, even if he isn't pounding the ball yet 2- he's not expanding the zone and changing his approach based on his poor results. Thats darn impressive for someone in the spotlight struggling. He's been getting pitched to like its game 7 of the WS, he's been getting some really bad calls, and he just keeps chugging along. He's started to make hard contact in the last couple of games. It's just a matter of time before he gets hot. I've been incredibly impressed in his performance to date.
  10. Dropped a foul ball for an error.
  11. Basallo hit his first dinger tonight.
  12. Not sure that’s quite so important now that a RP has to pitch to 3 batters. With 2 outs in 9th I’d rather have Gunnar up than Adley regardless of pitcher.
  13. Where does one find “play ratings” like 2 star, 3 star, 4 star etc. Curious how the Mullins play was rated. Best catch I’ve seen in a while.
  14. K/9 rising while BB/9 lowering all while being fairly pitch efficient is very encouraging. I think he’s finished with his “work on stuff” phase and has moved on to “how to get batters out” phase.
  15. MLB pitchers are really good. It’s Jackson’s first taste. He’s really good also. He will be fine. His AAA debut wasn’t pretty either.
  16. The OF should assume at all times the IF will not make the play and put himself in a position to make the play. Once the OF realizes the IF will not make the play the OF should call off the IF.
