I fail to see how that's funny. Funny that a guy who has gotten ragged on all season and had a nice year trying to help the team in any way he can? When he knows Buck doesn't really trust him, he still wants to find a way to help the team. Knee-slappin hilarious. :rolleyes:

Mrs. Gregg?

Suck it, Yankees.

First team EVER to post back to back shutouts scoring 13 or more each time.  (according to Stats, LLC).  Look at the O's setting a positive record this year for once.  What a pair of games.

At a certain point you just have to laugh either way.

Agree that an easy win makes everything .... easier.

Would prefer that our SPs not throw 114 pitches with 9 run leads, though.

Man. Seriously? Do we look for things to cry about here? Back in the day, 114 pitches was nothing. You know what I like, when our starting putchers get a lead and don't walk the first 2 or 3 batters they see after that, throwing 100+ pitches and giving up the lead in the process.

For the love of anything holy, can we not pick about the number of pitches thrown by a guy making his 3rd career start and giving us some big ones in the process?!?!?!

I thought Gregg looked really good last night. Of course, both the players and the umps seemed intent on getting that 9th inning over as quickly as possible.

Nope, just a fan who is sick of the needless Gregg ragging at this point of the season. His 3.72 ERA, which is inflated by a rocky start, is still nothing to sneeze at. We have him for a few more months, and then he'll be gone and off the books. Can we please just enjoy his solid production since May and think that maybe, just maybe, he is and can be a solid contributor out of the pen from now till the end of the year?

Overreact much? You treat your fellow posters with some respect and you will find the same coming back at you.

If our starters can't handle 114 low stress pitches I guess you can add that to the list of serious problems with the organization.

I have never seen evidence that 114 high stress pitches is particularly damaging, not unless like 60 of them came in one innings.

I really don't see any reason to go to 114 pitches in most any circumstance.

You never know when a pitcher decides to reach back for extra gas and ends up with an injury - even in a low stress environment.

Someone should have been there to pitch the last 2.2 or 3.0 IP without our starter going 114 or using two relievers, IMO.

It has been a long while since we could relax in the ninth inning. Good to see

Saw the score was 6-3, went to a meeting, came back and had to do a double take....13-3! Must have been a fun game to watch, we definitely could use a few more of those sprinkled in through the season.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
