If that little bloop single were caught(it wasnt catchable) this game wouldve been very tight. Gonzo was so-so, but he had alot of bad breaks and a high pitch count did him in.

Why cant the Orioles work the count, foul some pitches and let the opposing pitcher labor like they do to us?

I think DD working on obtaining hitters who can do just that Roy.

Yup. I think DD will also rock the boat and try to get rid of Pressley. Pure speculation on my part, but I don't think Pressley's aggressive hitting approach corresponds to DD's philosophy of high OBP.

That's not a great line, but TEX makes many pitchers look bad. MG will bounce back this weekend against TOR.

Yeah.... ya just gotta take this series for what it is. Texas is better than us and every one else pretty much. We get a split this series it'll be a huge bonus!

Not a split. I keep thinking it's a 4 game series for some reason. Get 1. Hopefully tomorrow. Try to steal the series Wednesday. Gotta get the one tho...

    • You said Ortiz was in the range of Basallo. That’s completely laughable.  They aren’t even close.    Bradfield has been in the range of Ortiz, as some have him just inside the top 100 and some don’t. Now, a few places did place Ortiz higher than any spot Bradfield has been but it took a while for Ortiz to be ranked and Bradfield not so much. Beavers will be there soon enough and since Beavers is much younger, they definitely could value Beavers as much or more than a guy like Ortiz…especially a team that’s far away.
    • I don't want to overstate it but imo having one, or preferably two, slots in the bullpen that you can shuttle guys with is a must.
    • Keep in mind that the bullpen had to cover 6.1 IP yesterday. 4 IP on Friday. All scoreless. Btw. Throwing 13.1 IP in a 3 games series is a ton for a bullpen.  I do agree that we use our pen so much that it would be more valuable to have a shuttle spot as the last spot than a guy like Viera. We should have a fresh arm for every game with the shuttle. 
    • I don't think it's an outlier so much as by design.  Elias has been targeting LH bats in the draft. My guess is he thinks he can get a RH bat for the outfield on the cheap if he needs one.
    • Four hits and 2 ER in 1.1 IP is acceptable?  
    • Thank you for allowing me to join.  We obviously have more pressing issues to deal with.  And you all have probably been over this a hundred times.  I was thinking about the prospect of losing the Santander and Hays right-handed at-bats in the OF soon (Hays will of course continue to fight into next year) and then I looked at our OF depth and saw almost all lefties in the wings.   Maybe Mayo, Norby and Rhodes will become factors, but when you get right down to it, I don't see a RH hitting, starting OF'er on the horizon.   Am I missing something?  Not a big deal right now, but seems like an outlier thing.  
    • I don’t think we see McDermott this year.  His control is a major hurdle.  I’m not sure how Povich would do out of the pen.  I imagine it would be a challenge to get used to. But, I do like the idea of bring pitchers in as a reliever to give them a taste at a young age like the Os did back in the day.
