I got faith in Joe Saunders tonight , even though his career numbers in and against Texas aren't good. The guy pitched his a## off 6 out of 7 games with us , I have been pretty impressed with the guy . Buck must have a good feeling about Joe tonight too or he go with Steve Johnson or somebody else, I was hoping Hammel would be ready but we will alright

My prediction is he doesnt make it thru the 4th even if tied or within a run. Only way he stays in past inning 4 is if he's throwing a damn near perfect game.

This could be true and still not a bad thing. We're carrying one starter, Saunders, for this game and 10 relievers. If he only goes three and turns it over to the pen, we could still be in very good shape this game.

I would consider Steve Johnson a second starter at this point. He could come in at any time and give five.

Thats exactly how I am thinking.

I'd like to see 4 shutout innings, and then have Buck play it by ear and instinct from the 5th inning on ...... maybe trot Saunders out there for the 5th ... maybe replace him. Let Buck see how he looks if and when that time comes.

The Orioles did not have one hit or one baserunner for that matter' date=' in the first 3 innings of all 3 Tampa games. If that happens again, this game could be history by the 4th.[/quote']

Agreed. But I'm not sure Darvish is as good as the Rays pitchers. Maybe he is, but I'm not convinced.

He's not.

But his last 5 outings he has been. And that's what is disturbing.

But, hey. We've lit up aces before: Felix Hernandez, Chris Sale, Brandon Morrow....it can happen.

BELIEVE!

      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.

      His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value

      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.
