We won't win any against Buccholttz or Lesster (and never will). As long as we avoid those two we'll be ok I guess.

I just dont have the energy to argue this with you any longer. The Red Sox including the guys you mention are buried in the wild card race and would take a miracle to get back in it. The Orioles have a very good record against the AL East. If your point is they let one get away today ... I agree with you....But the rest of you commentary on this is so off the wall that its painful.

Really? :)

I'm sure you know me so well. But, I really really hate the Red Sox. Have since they won in 2007. Obnoxious sons of guns. :hearts::hearts::hearts:

:):):)

You get the prize for smileys in one post .... That said your saying its more about the Red Sox losing then the Orioles winning?

Clay is an ace...I like Nick's idea on paper, but he hesitated on that bunt. He should of pushed it in play or pulled back, but unfortunately he sat between both options for a double play (on a sinking pitch close to a strike). That was a game changer (in hindsight). Would love to have a 4 pitch plus pitcher in this rotation right now not facing a Markakis bunt attempt!

Really? We haven't beaten Lester in how many centuries (yes we've won games that he's started but never beat him) and we haven't beaten Clayton Buccholtz this year either.

Do I think this team is going off a cliff? No. See my post in the "road trip" thread. I just think this was a particularly bad call by whoever made it and it annoys me that it was against the Red Sox in a game in which we could have got a sweep. When Nick gets into the batter's box tomorrow and draws a walk or gets a hit I'll be over it. For now, it bothers me.

Get it?

Absolutely ridiculous to think he would throw Nick under the bus. Buck is pretty big on integrity, and he would own it.

I agree with you about Buck. Sometimes guys make bad decisions. This was a bad decision by Nicky, and poorly executed. It happens.

It's both. They're not mutually exclusive in my book. The Orioles winning and postseason chances takes precedence, of course (if the Red Sox winning a game helps us I'm all for it) but otherwise no, I can't stand Boston.

Poor decision by a guy that doesn't bunt and has been swinging a hot stick in the bloody second inning up by 1. You're a lefty facing a righty who was getting hit hard. Bunting here is just dumb. Period. Did it cost us the game? I don't know, but a 5-1 or even 4-1 score helps Tillman a lot, and gives him more time to rest. Poor play by Nick.

Buchholz had an ERA of 10.00 this year against the O's coming into this game. 10 ER in 9 innings. You make it sound like he's owned us. He's 6-1 over his last 10 starts. We ran into a hot pitcher, and we let him off the hook. It happens.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A couple of things that I find interesting, Yaqui Rivera - Acquired in the Tanner Scott/Cole Sulser trade with the Marlins. Juan Nunez - Acquired in the Jorge Lopez trade.   Creed Willems - still only 20 and already in A+.  He got off to a big start last year as well and then struggled the rest of the year.  We're a little spoiled with prospect success from the college guys and HS phenoms Mayo, Holliday, and Gunnar.  The HS position players take some time.

      Perez threw an inning of rehab last night with Norfolk.  His velocity was down about 1.5 MPH on his sinker, and everything was down a tick, but he was getting some work in and doesn't look too far away from being ready.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By dystopia · Posted

      I don’t trust that guy to be very useful despite the strong start. He’s a good regression candidate. Would rather have Kopech.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      O's have Fabian behind Bradfield and Mullins will likely decline after '25 when he becomes a FA. I think one of those two should be able to hold down CF. Beavers could be in the mix as well.

      Its a total joke that Wagner isn’t it in yet.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I see no dilemma. He’s under team control right now during his best season’s. When he becomes a FA he will be out of his prime. I mean I love Mullins as a player and what he brings. But when we are talking about priorities for extensions, he is nowhere near the top considering you have an MVP caliber 22 year old, an ultra talented top prospect who is 20, and your team leader is 25. Those 3 are the engine that will drive this bus toward postseason glory most probably, not Cedric Mullins. If the Yanks want to give him that kind of contract while we retain 2 out of the 3 if Henderson, Rutschman, and Holliday; then so be it!  What I shudder to think about is a prime Henderson or Holliday crushing it for one of our competitors so that we can have a declining CF. Didn’t we just do that the last go around? Where we choose to resign the (predictably) declining player while we let the younger/more talented player leave? Yes, I agree that Bradfield Jr’s development is important. But since Elias/Sig have been here they haven’t struck out on any first round picks. Also, if Bradfield proves to be a bust, they can always draft and/or develop another CF type.

      Thanks, I missed that detail probably multi-tasking in the game thread. I do think Kimbrel has a good shot*...Wagner should go in next cycle, and the electorate in the coming years will be wrestling with how Epstein, Friedman, etc. have improved per pitch efficiency by downsizing the workload literally any individual pitcher can shoulder.      There can't not be any Hall of Famers with all this run prevention going on.    I think now that he's officially retired Strasburg will be a good debate.    Bumgarner too, though I don't believe I've seen that guy yet admitting any retirement. *better shot if say he can get the last out of an important postseason series or three in 2024.
