He was solid today, which was good to see. He definitely was nibbling towards the end and Ayala did a nice job of bailing him out.

Yeah, the bats were choking so good to see our bullpen helped him out. Great all around win. Now, we can only hope the Rays and MFY's beat each other senseless. The Rays actually scare me much more.

You know what is scary, our upcoming schedule. It gets much easier after this, but this is brutal:

4 versus Yankees

3 versus Rays

3 versus A's (RED hot)

Should be fun regardless!

I see it as an opportunity to control our own destiny. Beat those teams and we'll be in good shape.

The Blue Jays, even without Bautista, are still an above average offensive team.

Not sure I agree with that one. With Bautista they are just about average in runs(and that's playing in a hitters park). By OPS they are below average. Without Bautista (and Lawrie) I think they're clearly below average. Context neutral they are a wRC+ of 96 and an OPS+ of 92. Unlike us, looks like they have some decent speed though.

That's not scary at all. If the Orioles can play that 10 game stretch and come out in first place or still inline for a wildcard, then they are for real and have a chance against anyone in the playoffs. If they fall out of it during that stretch, then they weren't really contenders anyway. If you hold your own during that stretch, then you aren't going to do anything in the playoffs anyway. That's why I don't see it as scary, I see it as a chance to seperate yourself from all three of those teams.

Me too. We never would have come close to being the team that we are now (one game out of first place in the A.L. East in September) if we had had a bunch of players, coaches, and a manager that fretted about being in a tough division and/or worried about having a tougher schedule than others. We got here by concentrating on one game at a time, and kicking ass and taking names of the team that we had right on front of us. And in the events/games that we lost, we put those losses behind us, started a new game on a new day, and took it from there. We also haven't acted/played like we were in awe when we faced top-of-the-line pitchers like Felix Hernandez, Justin Verlander, Chris Sale, Jeremy Hellickson, etc.

So, let's go get 'em next time out, whether we have Joe Saunders, Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen, Jason Hammel, Randy Wolf, or anybody else on the mound that day. :cool:

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.
