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.

My son attended his fourth and fifth games at OPACY this weekend.  We saw the Os overcome a shaky Miley on Saturday as the Birds scored a couple runs and the bp was dominant - perhaps a warning sign to other contenders as O'Day, Brach and ZB looked fantastic.  

My son and I had the pleasure of watching the game yesterday with Frobby and we barely had sat down when the Os went back-to-back-to-back in the first.  What a way to start the game - all beautiful sounds of bat striking a baseball a long way.  Ubaldo was picked up by the shift a couple times and gave up several well-struck balls himself, but managed to get out of trouble against a fairly weak Detroit lineup - with Miggy out of the game and JD Martinez recently traded.  Manny crushed his HR to straightaway CF.  My son is a hawk for getting a ball or an autograph.  He was less than five feet away from three different players signing autos, but missed out and he couldn't get close to a ball thrown into the stands despite great seats.  He is 11 and was getting frustrated after the game, but luck shined on him when Caleb Joseph emerged from the dugout and tossed his batting gloves to my son.  That certainly made his weekend and made for an easier ride home.  His weekend haul almost sounds like a holiday song - 4 Schoop bobbleheads, three sets of Topps Cards, two batting gloves and a new Os camouflage hat and a (his, of course) lost tooth!  It was a great father-son weekend.

What a great experience to watch a game with Frobby - someone I have been posting with or against for a good portion of my 15 years here.  Great conversation about the in-games situations, the Os in general and discussing personal lives.  I hope we can do it again.

Os are still -31 runs on the season but it's been a while since they lost a laugher.

The team's actual record (63-65) is now only two games above their Pythagorean records (61-67).    They have a 12-11 record this month despite our scoring their opponents by 139-99.    They've won games this month by scores of 12-3, 12-5, 11-3, and 16-3.   Meanwhile, they haven't allowed double digit runs since July 15.     Since then, in addition to the four August games I mentioned, they also won games by 12-1, 10-2 and 10-6 in the second half of July.

Please Miley, just give us a Quality Start, we'll do the rest.

Good call/request on the Quality Start ........ technically it was not a Quality Start, but I'll take 1 Run over 5-Plus Innings from Wade Miley any time.

Now, it's up to the rest of the team to finish it.

The Orioles over the Rays, 17-1 !!!

And in their very next game, the Rays beat the Royals by a score of 2-1 on the strength of 4 shutout innings from their bullpen.

Such are the ups and downs of the marathon, 162- game season of Major League Baseball.

      Does the "insanity" label mean it's something you expected Hyde to do (like using Kimbrel yesterday against the near-bottom of the Phillie lineup with a four-run lead) or not to do?

      Every time I see Nestor Cortes I think,”Damn, we sent him back.” The man responsible for that should have been fired…and was! The worst team in modern history couldn’t make room for a promising Rule 5 guy. Grrrrr

      I would love to see Seattle win. They seem to have such a fun team even when they aren’t scoring, which is usually. But definitely they have some pitching

      That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot.

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.
