Still a no for me. I want to keep that one game lead for the first wild card spot, but it will be nice to see both the Rays and Angels eliminated from the postseason and it can't hurt us if the Rays have nothing to play for in our last two games.

I don't think the red sox win a game vs yanks so here is my plan. Hope the Rays sweep us and Rangers sweep A's cause that will lead to the Rays and A's playing a Thursday game before they come to Baltimore.

Pulling for Oakland tonight. Knowing that the Rays and Angels are officially eliminated will make me sleep better tonight cause their starting rotations are just filthy.

An A's starting pitcher at home is nothing to be excited about.

There's no way I'm rooting for the A's tonight. We need the Orioles to stay a game ahead of them so that we can still be in line for a home wild-card game (since winning the AL East is very unlikely at this point). If the O's and A's end up with the same record, the Orioles will have to play the WC game in Oakland, where they hardly ever win.

I don't care if an A's win eliminates Tampa tonight. The O's can eliminate the Rays themselves tomorrow or Wednesday. We NEED Oakland to lose.

No. We need to win more than OAK so we can have the home game Friday for the WC. I have no illusions about BOS taking the next two from the MFY. Does anybody really see that happening? Does that make me a pessimist or just not insane?

I'd much rather have Texas win tonight, but don't get me wrong... I'm not losing any sleep over Tampa being officially eliminated. I don't think they lay down and die for us, but I know for certain that Longoria won't play the last two if they're eliminated. He's playing on one leg right now anyhow.

If Oakland does win tonight, as far as I'm concerned, the playoffs start tomorrow for the Orioles.

      And so itbegins

      I'm more worried that the team is going to run him into the ground. There's a reason most catchers don't put up big offensive numbers.

      Fangraphs updated playoff odds

      It's sad to me watching and wondering what exactly the plan is? I know they're not going to win 100 games but as a fan, I can't come up with a good reason why they keep bringing inferior players up to replace inferior players. Whether they bring up some rookies this season or next there could be growing pains. I say get them over now.

      Lineup needs pop - easy roster moves

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I generally agree. I'm not quite sure where Westburg fits. I have a feeling Frazier will still be 2B vs RHB. That would make Westburg 2B vs LHB, 3B vs RHP.  Vs RHP: Frazier 2B, Adley C, Santander DH, Hicks CF, Hays RF, Westburg 3B, Cowser LF, Gunnar SS, O'Hearn 1B Bench: McCann, Urias, Mateo, Mountcastle Vs LHP: Hicks CF, Adley DH, Santander RF, Hays LF, Westburg 2B, Urias 3B, Mountcastle 1B, McCann C, Mateo SS. Bench: Cowser, O'Hearn, Frazier, Gunnar (When Adley C, Santander is DH and Cowser starts).

      You mean the Hicks with the OPS >1.0 with the Orioles? Yeah, he’s really killed the team this past week.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      Hyde was ejected in the 5th inning but I thought managers keep managing in that situation, from the hallway. I would guess the difference here was mostly about having Zimmerman on the roster, and the scoreboard.

      .“Okay, Houston, we’ve had a problem here.”,,,,,,,.."“Ah, Houston, we’ve had a problem here. We’ve had a Main B Bus Undervolt.” ........ ........... I'm a loyal, optimistic rah rah guy who has stuck with the O's through the recent bad times and loves all the talent ready to burst through from the farm system. ..... A few recent facts that are not going to go away, and maybe need to be recognized. Taken from [ https://www.mlb.com/stats/team/batting-average?timeframe=-6 ] ......Rank of Team average BA Year to date= #15..........last 30 days= #21........... last 15 days= #24.......... last 7 days= #25.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Baseball Reference now has dropped the Orioles down 17% over the last week of making the playoffs down to 31% with 0.1% chance of winning the World Series.   Fangraphs have the at 35% and 1% for World Series. Do with that what you will but thought that was interesting enough to post and follow. Either way, right now the Orioles would be in the playoffs if they started today.
