Notice I said, "could be." But making up four games in 19 games, with their remaining schedule, will not be easy. The O's did themselves a tremendous service in this series.

Now let's go to Oakland and lay one on them!

Cepedes just got hurt in a collision at 2b, hurt his wrist. Not sure if he can play this weekend.

Hopefully Tampa is playing with their backs against the wall and beat up on NYY.

We just don't have the offense - we're done. The pitching has been historically great this season, and they're going to waste it, a real shame.

If you'd told me in the final two games that they would hold the O's to 5 runs in nearly 24 innings, I'd have said they win both games. The offense is just really, really bad, though.

I'm hoping the Orioles stay hot and the Rays get hot enough to snag the wildcard, leaving the Yankees on the outside looking in. Good luck up in NY.

Rays have really good pitching too. Give them some credit.

    • Gray has a full no trade, and has expressed his desire to stay in St Louis. It's doubtful that he's going to be traded.
    • The standard before was just Eduardo Rodriguez, Daniel Cabrera, Luis Matos, Sidney Ponson, and Schoop, for like 50 years. 🤣. Koby Perez is doing alright.  Also, I count Felix Bautista as an Oriole DSL signing. It doesn’t matter to me that he originally signed with another team and played a bit. 
    • I'd feel a lot better about him if he had a strong 2nd half like Snell did, after suffering early from the weird late contract thing. Unfortunately, JM's halves were pretty similar.  That said, his 2024 does present as a pretty clear aberration when looking at his career. So it will be up to scouting and data analysis to determine if there's a bounceback in him. Seems like an expensive dice roll to me. 
    • Yet another reason why baseball has to get rid of deferred contracts and have a salary cap. Ohtani’s contract was bad for everybody but the Dodgers and Ohtani. It’s bad for California, our country, and let’s be frank here: bad for the sport.
    • I know everyone from the Diamondbacks is doing their best not to distress their asset any further, but Passan's piece this morning digesting the GM Meetings is I think the first big-time reporter reporting he is on the block with ARZ paying some of his too high salary down. He is a Rohrschach as the 2024 was genuinely atrocious.    I'm inclined to give him a grace as overexertion in October 2023 plus the weird contract scenario was I think a bridge too far.    He was one of my favorites at the July 2023 deadline that became Flaherty, and I think it screams Elias target that he'll be on a 1-year term in 2025. Jordan Montgomery, left-handed starter: The Diamondbacks want to move him and will eat some of his $22.5 million salary to do so. He's near the top of the list of players likeliest to get dealt after a rough 2024, and he'll head to his new team with plenty to prove as another go-around at free agency beckons
    • Yes, great players are always helpful. They improve your margin for error.  
    • Why would you say that after the year EBJ just had? He is my Mullins replacement.
