Here's a thought that tickled my mind, because it sounds ridiculous just to talk about it. Do you think they'd ever bring Lough out of the game and pinch run someone else for him? :laughlol: ;)

Not a chance. You want his speed on the bases and his glove in the field.

Lets see if Britton takes a while to throw strikes. He has a habit lately of getting behind batters, usually a bit high in the zone. Lets see if he does it again.

All Britton has to do is let Texas hit the ball on the ground. Sink that ball low in the zone. The hitters will bite. The defense will take care of the rest.

No need to K or anything that fancy. These guys learned how to hit from the O's. They don't know how to take a pitch.

Then again, Beltre doesn't need to take a pitch. He just hits them. So, to live, at the absolute worst, we have to get to 2 outs (or 1 out with DP possibility) by the time the 4th batter of the inning comes up to the plate, and then retire that batter to end the game. Otherwise, Beltre himself will end it for us.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I only watched the first two innings.  I didn’t think he’d last much longer because he looked very hittable to that point.  I really question the pitch selection to Rorthsveldt on a 1-2 pitch with a man on third and one out.  He just swung threw a up in the zone fastball, Suarez’ best pitch.  Throw another one same spot, or higher, or in, or even try to bury a changeup low.  Anything to try and get a swing and miss.  But a two seamer (that’s what they called it) down and away? Credit to Suarez for giving us 5.  I don’t really think he’s a starter but he’s getting it done.  Why can he hit 97 in the first inning but not in relief?   I guess it’s a warmup thing.  The 2023-24 Orioles are very good at “winning ugly”.   They find a way more often than not.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I hadn’t heard an up to date report on Gillen’s arm.  He’s two years out from that surgery so that’s certainly not good.   I like Lindsey too.  The only real drawbacks are that he’s a RH hitter and the power projection is questionable but he’s got top of the line speed. I’m really not interested in the hit first college types like Amick.   I’d like to see them go HS position player or roll the dice on a Brody Brecht/Jonathan Santucci college pitcher with big stuff and command issues.   At #22 and #32 maybe they can do both.

      We've really needed Suarez to step up, and so far he has. He does this a couple more times, I might be a believer.

      Been going downhill ever since Roy started calling for him in the pen. The jinx goes both ways.

      Suarez traveled 🧳 a long road to arrive with the Orioles . I can’t help but root for him to succeed this season

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      Before the season, I was one in trade Mateo camp . He only played SS , but with Gunnar locking up SS , I was not sure about his value anymore. But when he started playing at Second and CF , he looked like he picking up at these positions.  I think maybe he should be their utility player now.

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO
