I hate to pile on after the fact, but why can't one of our 3 LH pitch to AJ and Moreland.

It certainly raises questions especially when Tommy is catching way too much of the plate with his pitches. It seems like he gets Matusz up a lot lately only not to use him.

Buck once again sticks with someone too long. Why was Hunter even in this game for mop up duty? McFarland?? Anyone else??

You got me. I can see TH coming in for the jam......sort of, but not really. The 8th should've gone to someone else though. It's a 6 run game. Bring in Matusz/TJ/Asencio.

The alternative was just used and did his part to ensure JJ has to be used if the offense can't get some more runs.

Sadly, I think Buck will agree with you (provided the offense doesn't tack on an additional run here). For all his bullpen-managing genius, I do not for the life of me understand why Johnson "HAS" (note the scare-quotes) to be used here ...

This is, of course, to say nothing of the curious situation we're in, where we're all basically scared of "having" to use Johnson, ever ...

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
