We're making Ramos look like a cy young candidate with that pitch efficiency! I blame Adam jones. Two AB, two pitches...

Even though you were (probably!) being sarcastic, it looks like Ramos is actually shutting us down pretty effectively except for Jones' two bombs. We're very much winning the battle right now (the scoreboard), but we're not pressing them on the war (how exhausted/used-up their bullpen is) as much as we could be.

That 5th inning was an 8 pitch inning, and nobody hit any home runs. Trying not to be too negative here, but it seems like everyone is so eager to get some of that meatball (and the associated glory and high-fives) that they're just hacking away. That's worked for AJ, but not for anyone else.

We are really letting this guy off the hook. He should have been out of here two innings ago. This is going to come back and bite us in the butt. Can't expect Norris to pitch a shutout. What did I tell you. :angryfire::cussing:

Damn, jinxed him. :( He smacked the dejesus out of that ball. Delmon Young must be looking on longingly.

(for the record it was: Buds dealing , but I'm amazed that you even got the one last night as you did, if the roles were reversed I surely would've looked at those 3 pictures and thought: wtf is this guy trying to say to us?)

    • Hope it is Norby.   913 PA in AAA is a long time.   We will see if he can translate some of his success up here.  His OPS at AAA is higher than Stowers who doesn't appear to be overmatched up here yet.
    • Seems like Forret is the 2023 draft version of Showalter but it also seems like they like Forret more.
    • A few readouts as Forret finishes Low-A. Fangraphs stats this morning list him age 20 - about one third of the Carolina League pitchers at 30 innings are that age or younger. Zero BAL Shorebirds arms meet the Fangraphs qualified default of I believe 1 inning/team game, so 30 innings needed to find an Orioles pitcher in early June. K-bb% 14th of 66 - he is the only pitcher in the Top 30 of that to be at 0.00 HR/9 (a bunch of wild kids in the bottom of the list also have that). Forret is kind of shaping up for me as a good run so far of what Carter Baumler was meant to be. Up in the South Atlantic League, looks like just three Age 20 pitchers have covered 30 innings so far, including ATL Owen Murphy ($2.5M class of 2022 high school arm), and PIT's guy from Europe's baseball hotbed San Marino.
    • Yes, the whole point of DFA'ing Urias is to make room for Mayo or Norby. Between Mateo, Gunnar, and Westburg you would be able to cover 3B/SS with an extra guy on the bench. If there is an injury Gunnar can slide over for a game or two. We've also got Holliday, Maton, and Vavra in AAA. Plenty of depth to cover infield. 
    • Any money we have ready to throw at an extension should be used on Gunnar. Let's not make another Chris Davis mistake and run out of money for the likes of Manny.  Not saying that's definitely what happened in that situation but it was a dumb use of money.
    • The team obviously feels Urias plays third better than second and that Westburg is equal in either.     I mean, Urias won a GG at third!!  🤣
