If you had told me in January that the O's would be tied for first in late July 2020 with a .667 win percentage, I'd have laughed at you.  Yes, that was tongue in cheek.

The White Sox just swept the Blue Jays in Toronto.

They outscored them by a score of 21-6 in the 3 games combined.

One game at a time. Win tomorrow. Worry about Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when they come.

That's the kind of team you want to play. Due to cool off.

Boston picked a great time to be playing the Braves.

Texas is leading the Yanks again, 3-2 in the 7th.

The Orioles are facing a potential buzz-saw in the Chi-sox, fresh off their pounding of the Jays.

I think we win 3 out of 4. Sale gets us on Sunday. We miss Quintana, thankfully.

Danks, Rodon, Latos. These names do not strike fear into my heart. They will feel the wrath of Camden Yards.

Danks and Latos should be easy pickin'... I'm a little worried about how the O's will match up against Rondon though, the guys got nasty stuff. I think he's gonna have a big year.

He has some command issues. 4.5 walks per 9 innings over his career. We just need to have patient at bats like we have been having for much of the season.

Latos has allowed 2 ER in 24.1 IP this season, let's hope he reverts to last season

Is wire to wire still in play for the O's?

I don't think so because Toronto was 1-0 coming into Orioles opening day because they played the day before. Then the O's were 1-0 and the Jays were 2-0. Since both teams were sitting 2-0, the Orioles have lead the AL East Standings in % from "wire to wire" so that's something. I'm not sure if they'll count it if it holds up.

That must have been a different year. The Os opened against the Twins.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By Rojo13 · Posted

      I don't get why everyone on here is in love with "potential" instead of "results." I remember last year when Means was rehabbing in the minors this board was saying he'd maybe be a bullpen piece. I was thinking, "Do these people not remember 'John Means day'? The guy knows how to pitch and gets results. I trust him WAY more than Grayson. Sadly Means got hurt and didn't get a chance to pitch in the playoffs. When the playoffs roll around in 2024, if Suarez still has a 1.57 ERA and .99 WHIP, I'm giving him the damn ball way before I give to a guy with a 3.53 ERA and 1.33 WHIP who has a career 27 ERA In the post-season.  Don't misunderstand me, Grayson has a TON of potential but he's reminding me a lot of Kevin Gausman at this point in his career - a guy who repeatedly got our hopes up as being a dominant TOR guy but never was for us. Suarez has a 1.2 WAR this year in 34 innings. Grayson has a 0.5 in 51 innings. If we had to pick a top 3 for the playoffs tomorrow, I wouldn't put Grayson as the #3.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      I hear you on the 19 year olds. I don’t buy it as an absolute. There is data both ways. COVID is still a factor too. Depends on the kid. Each player is judged on their own merits. Bobby Witt Jr. was 19 when drafted. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Lindsey reminds me of Trea Turner at the same age. Not a comp, just a similar player. I watched Amick and Christian Moore last night. I don’t have enough to give an opinion. I thought both were interesting talents and athletes. I am concerned about Santucci right now. I can understand wanting a college arm, depends on health and track record.

      Wrong, Idiot. Mullins is too bad to use.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      Re: Tanner Scott. I looked up his baseball savant page and laughed out loud.    https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/tanner-scott-656945?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb Check out his BB rate.   Laff laff laff…. Everything else is pretty good. I was mistaken about his stats-wise, but I still don’t want to trade for him. I just know he’d turn back into a pumpkin.

      Eh, this was his first definitively bad start IMO. He was always going to go downhill from the ~1 ERA he posted in April. I'm still interested in seeing him called up for Suarez's spot, though I'm guessing he won't at this point with Suarez already taking two turns and performing well.

      Bradley has pretty distinct splits. I think we throw all the LH bats at him tonight: (If Westburg is ready) Gunnar - SS Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Santander - RF Cowser - LF Westburg - 3B Stowers - DH Mateo - 2B Mullins - CF
