They still get no respect. Baseball Tonite just talked about the game. Said the O's ran out of gas a month ago, but showing the they can still win "now and then". Then went right into who will be the Yankees game 2 starter in the playoffs. Man I hope the O's take this division. Screw the WC!

You're supposed to be better than that.

"You can call it what you want to, but he started antibiotics. Doing nothing but sleeping. We sent him home early yesterday. I was worried about bedsores. Make-up wise he's got what it takes to pitch up here. I am real proud of him."

Truly..one of the great wins on the road in recent years. To spot this team 5 in the first,in New York... and see our starter on the ropes and somehow fight back and not only grab the lead, but have him pitch well..was truly impressive and a charater builder.

This was the kind of game that if things break a certain way, can be looked upon as a "season changer". Im still not convinced this team has enough to win anything, but it does show people their

fight and their overall talent.

This is a learning game..and the Orioles learned alot about themselves tonight.AND I just heard that Tillman had the flu. So did Gonzo in his bad start.Guts. Pure guts.

You know, I almost jokingly posted "Was Tillman puking before the game?" earlier in the game thread because that 1st was so similar to Gonzo's.

I really thought the A's game friday night was going to take the wind out of their sails and send us into a spiral. All the doomsday prophets on this board keep being proven wrong as this team just won't die. Aug 1st This team is 6 games over .500 and 5.5 back of the Al east leaders.

It wasn't just that the Yankees scored 5 in a first inning that took forever, it was the fact that our half of the first inning lasted 6 pitches and about three minutes. To turn that around, score 7 two-out runs and never let NY off the mat -- wow, that was an amazing turnaround.

Great win....all hope was lost earlier today. Orioles made no moves, and we were trailing 5-0 in the first inning.

I think us coming back and winning it proves we're not the same old team anymore. It's very metamorphical (lol) and to complex for some people to understand. hahaah

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
