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.

I was going to bump this one (was searching for this when I found the burst the Nova thread) once we got to 14-4, but though Frobby would slap my hand...haha.

Way to go O's, hopefully this gets the offense going strong for a while, looks like our starting pitching is going to need the help.

A tightly contested game turned into an Oriole rout late.

ORIOLES OOO..o - 11

BLUE JAYS OO -. 4

So how many laughers this year? two?

Now that I think about it' date=' tonight [b']WAS NOT[/b] a laugher.

In the game thread, you were biting your nails, hoping that we would somehow find a way to hold onto the 8-run lead in the final 2 innings.

Hence, no comfort, no laugher.

Nonetheless, I'm sure even Bahama O's Fank enjoys that type of nail-biter to one in which we laugh early and barely hold on at the end (like the last game of the Boston series!).

      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.
