Why sacrifice when this team can't hit with RISP, and especially when Roberts the next batter can barely hit it out of the infield? 5 for our last 39 now. We are 3-4 with a sacrifice without RISP. We are 0-4 with RISP. Need to get some clutch hits...

Yeah, what are we like second in the league in hitting with RISP? Just horrible. We're in a hitting slump and sometimes you have had bad RISP spells. The RISP/clucth stuff is just a gigantic red herring. We need to hit better. Everybody knows that.

Brothers and Sisters, We are a team that lives or dies by the home run.

Not sure how many more times I need to say this, but no we are not. As of last week, the Cardinals, Red Sox and O's were the only teams in MLB over .500 when they did not homer. Not sure whether the last week has changed that but this statement, which has been made by Jonesy10 before is simply false.

Was talking about lately. With the middle of the order it is fine. But McLouth can probably beat out a double play ball, and Brian Roberts' corpse was due up next.

That's frustrating. We should have at least 2 runs by now but are instead down 1-0. And once again, it was another bloop single against us, and it ended up scoring. Meanwhile Casilla hits a bullet but its right at Andrus.

I didn't like the bunt attempt. Didn't look like much of an attempt for a hit to me and yeah I hate Roberts DH'ing.

you might have to start a thread in Orioles talk to get it to stick.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
