And Terps win. Everyone played their role well in this game. The most exciting thing for me is that Shaq Cleare had another solid outing. All he needs to do to be useful going forward is get a few rebounds, stand his ground defensively, post up a few times, hit foul shots at a 60%ish clip, and set some screens. He has done that the past two games and has been a very big asset. This is his best two game stretch of the season and if he keeps it up or actually builds on it he could be a part of the future. Before these last two games I was convinced it was best for him and the team that he transfer.

This is part of the reason I really hope the Terps get an NIT invite. I feel this team can be good next year and extra basketball this year can only help.

And hopefully the fact that Allen missed significant time and we have been significantly better since his return to full strength will be considered by the NIT committee. Can't believe I am begging for a NIT berth, but I agree they need more reps together and they are continually improving.

I thought the same thing, murph. Should I be posting that I hope the Terps get an NIT bid. But, I feel like an NIT appearance can be very beneficial for this team. Years past an NIT bid just meant the team had a bad season.

I'm not going to lie: as a lifelong Maryland resident, a Duke alum and avid fan of ACC basketball, I am really pissed off at Maryland for leaving the ACC. Since it was their choice to go, I'm glad they lost in their first ACC tournament game of 2014 in heartbreaking fashion.

I'm not going to lie either: as someone who has lived the large majority of my life in the state of MD, and as an alumni of a school in the MD State University system, I am kinda pissed off at Maryland for leaving the ACC. And I'll be glad if Clemson beats Duke tonight in heartbreaking fashion. :)

      John Means 2024

      By foxfield · Posted

      You mean the Montgomery who had a 9.0 ERA AGAINST US in the playoffs and still won?  Yeah. Bud you keep beating this horse, but as it turned out the Orioles didn't pitch, hit or play def the same way in the playoffs.  IF they had done that, perhaps it would have proven that the pitching was the reason the 23 playoffs ended for the O's.  I mean I agree that I wish we had gotten Montgomery.  But if Grayson pitched against Texas the way he pitched against Tampa or Wash in his last two starts...at the very least the O's do not get swept.  And maybe they get on a roll.  We don't know. We do know that the best hitter for the Orioles in the playoffs last year was Jorge Mateo who outhit the entire team in one game (except Gunnar) going 4-5 in Game 3.  That kinda tells you something. And not specifically to your point, but even though Bradish exited game one in 4.2 innings, he outlasted Heaney for the Rangers.  Game one comes down to the Jacob Webb HR, otherwise the bull pen does good work.  Win Game 1 and well everything looks different.  It didn't.  But not because of the point you consistently make that the Orioles failed to get a starter like Montgomery.   They failed to perform pretty widely.  As is won't to do in a three game series. Simply repeating it over and over, doesn't make it so.

      True. When Means gets activated off of the IL is ERA will be 0.00. He’s not going to get handed a rotation spot, but I think he’ll replace Tate in the pen.  I do wonder about the AAA defense. The IF seems really shaky and if Norby/Kjerstad are the everyday COF then oh my.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      By baltfan · Posted

      First game up this season.  He played a whole 2 games in the field in the MLB last year and might have been a little nervous that it is a sign that the team doesn't trust him in the field.

      I wonder if Kjerstad will be back in Norfolk when the team returns to Baltimore.

      3/15 base is the rumor, which breaks down to a 2/12.2 extension after his rookie deal expires.  That's an absolute steal, and even with a huge amount of incentives, I can't believe the Ravens got him to sign this cheaply.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      Anyone notice him smiling as he got into the box for his final at bat?   I think he was feeling a little better about life after making solid contact twice in a row.

      I would feel better about this game if he would foul off a few close ones with 2 strikes-like Kjerstad did last night-instead of just watching them go by. Take those pitches on the outside to the opposite field.  If your expecting 1 pitch but get another, fight it off. I'd be happy with another hit before another 15 ABs go by. Maybe throw in a few 95+ EV in there too.
