The other component of the wall of course is Oriole outfielders getting used to playing it. Has to count for something over the course of a season.

We finish our against the Yankees. Hopefully they have the AL East wrapped up by then so they don’t have to play their best guys against us. We aren’t catching them, so I would rather they win.
Finish road season against them. The season itself ends at home vs Toronto. Couldn’t ask for a better schedule.

Hyde was at 145-278 (.343) on May 18, now he’s at 200-315 (.388). He could win 90 games a year for the next six years and still be below .500.
This is pretty incredible. He could have a very good decade all in all and have a very mediocre record.

Odor continues to get dumped on, yet when Vavra couldn’t turn a couple DP’s people wanted him back. Let’s just see how this plays out lineup wise for a few days.

Just to piss everyone off.
Mission accomplished.
I called out of work today I was so beside myself.

Really good summary and agree with your rankings too. Only addition I would make is Urias isn’t in danger of being traded and still be on the team as utility. Whereas everyone else below him could be traded instead of benched.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they make a few trades this off season as well. Raise the bar!Teams may look at Urias as a starter which would make him very trade able.

It will be interesting from an outside fan perspective. I bet Elias and Sig's algorithms have already determined their top 26, plus a few more in case of injury.
Sheesh I hope it’s not that simple. A ton of development can happen over the winter, esp with young guys. What if someone like Rom adds a couple MPH to his fastball? Or Joey Ortiz can’t be gotten out?

I have to say, next spring training could be one of the most interesting ones ever for the Orioles. There’s going to be a ton of competition at 2B/SS/3B and even the OF, and I’m not talking about AAAA retreads, but legit major leaguers and top prospects going at it. Then you’ll have Grayson and Hall both competing for rotation spots. And we don’t even know what other players will be added to the roster in the offseason!
I’m hoping to spend two weeks in Florida next March and catch 3-5 games while I’m there. It’s going to be exciting!
I fully intend to be there for a weekend plus!

Mateo was out. Great lucky tag on the foot.
It was definitely close, just seemed like an non-reversible call either way. Those throws tailing right have worked for the astros so far.

When a hitter immediately turns around and looks at the catcher, you know he hit the mitt or a string or something. Adley looked like he got his hand caught in the cookie jar (he would be a bad poker player) but the replay showed no movement of the glove so it probably was just a string or just nicked something. Either way, I doubt it stopped the ball from going much further or harder.
Makeup call for the Mateo CS which I was skeptical of.

Anyone else prefer Mateo batting 9th? The old two lead off hitter model.

Since I love using film room on baseball savant, I decided to show all the contact that had 94 EV or more against Kremer last night so everyone can decide for themselves. Personally, I think you guys are arguing over symantics a bit when it comes to "hard hit". Hard hit is defined by anything velocity hit 94 MPH or harder, but it does not constitute a barrel which is much more important because it includes launch angles.
RZNJ is right in that most of the "hard hits" were into the ground, popped upish, or ended up routine outs outside of Altuves's two and one of Tucker's hard fouls. I think there was another Tucker hit that was pretty hard but right at McKenna.
Kremer's GB% has increased 7.2% and his flyball rate has decreased 10.1% so some of that hard contact is going into areas where there's a better chance of getting the player out.
Here's all nine hard contacts last night.

Off topic but I will say rewatching that Tucker fly ball in the 8th it certainly sounded like Adley’s glove was hit. On the replay it didn’t look like it moved.

Nice to know Palmer thinks the in game betting is as ridiculous as the rest of us think.

I'm okay with odor in a bench role. But Gunnar needs to come up now
Odor as a late PH option and occasional match up start is okay. Westburg is making a case too. Odor probably stays bc of expanded roster
Odor stays because it would be insane to DFA a popular clubhouse mainstay in the middle of a wildcard race in September. It’s not like his performance has drastically fallen off within the year either.

IMO, he’s effectively wild. I don’t think he’s gonna walk a lot of guys but at times he doesn’t make finding the zone look easy. There’s a lot to like and I’m happy we have him but there’s something I don’t fully trust yet.
It’s what made Rivera so incredible. Seems like most other relievers can only be dominant for a couple years. I’d take 2 more like this year from Bautista.

I’m getting it for this month, can be there in 10 minutes if it’s looking like a good game around 730/8.
I imagine there’s some ability on week night games to move down into one of the bleacher seats?

May have been the worst rendition of the National Anthem I’ve ever heard. What a @#$& way to start the game.
It was insane. How did nobody tell her not do to that at the end of EVERY line.

The constant updating of odds and the play by play gambling opportunities are what bother me. Live bets, exotic plays and companies like barstool are really preying on young (mostly) men who can now casually get into it.
As someone who used to bet pretty often, it became hard to enjoy sports if you didn’t have anything riding on it. Took me a while to get over that and now I’ll bet on an NFL game or two a week.
Mostly just wish the gambling weren’t so in your face and you could just follow the game for the stories and athletic feats.

Jessie Coffield (the previous hostess) might be coming back. She had a baby recently, which is why the new boring guy has replaced her for now.
I don’t know if it’s her or the writing but those commercials are really annoying.

If it is, no one can say that this is a great baseball town. It’s one thing if we were out of it, but we’re in the thick of it. There’s no excuse for this weekend to not be a sea of orange.
I did realize the Sunday game is the little league game but still 2hrs from Baltimore. Just wonder how many tix were sold earlier in the season.

My bet is Saturday's game will be 75% RS fans and even then will only be 30-32K fans. Baltimore turned into a football town some time ago.
I would be shocked if it were 75% RS fans.

Was interesting the other day when KB mentioned on the broadcast that one of the hittting coaches said RMK was the best on the team at recognizing pitches. Glad the board doesn’t dictate roster moves.

**** I Think *****
Watkins had to pitch 3 innings in mop up duty. That’s hardly a day of rest and don’t try to sell me that it’s the same as a side session. He got bumped so Hall could start and fizzle.
***** Disclosure: Note to @Sports Guydon’t have a link*****
None of the big 4/5 bullpen guys pitched yesterday and Baker only threw 15 pitches. Watkins should be available to start Tuesday/Wednesday if they want.

Has anyone seen Manoah get his hands checked after innings today? Dean was checked multiple times and of course Krehbiel last inning. Just curious. Seems like he’s running straight to the dugout.
