You play to win every series, when you don't, you get back in and go for the next series.

They showed that point perfectly, losing a tough A's. Then wiping the slate clean and now going for the sweep.

How many people had this team at 3-2 at this point?

I'm pleased we are 3-2. The road trip still could be either a great success, or very disappointing. I'm very mindful of the West Coast swing last year that started 3-0, but somehow ended up 4-4 with three blown save losses. We face Weaver, Iwakuma and Hernandez the next three games. I'm just taking them one at a time.

Well the angels get Tillman tonight, who is no pushover himself.

1-0 after tomorrow night's game against the Athletics.

1-1 after tomorrow's game.

Let's go, Orioles.

2-1 after tomorrow afternoon's game.
3-2 after tonight's game.
4-2 after tomorrow (going for the sweep.)

By the way, before they ran into the Orioles, the Angels had won 10 consecutive home series.

The last time that they had lost a home series was to the Yankees, on ...... May 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Not any more. That streak is over (thanks to the Orioles.)

I don't want the Orioles to go 5-5 on this West Coast swing, or 8-8 over the 16-game span that they play against the A.L. West teams.

I want them to go 1-0 in their next game.

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done ......

And most importantly ...... NEVER concede a single game before a pitch is thrown, REGARDLESS of who the opponent(s) is/are.

Lol... Felix Hernandez:

ERA: 2.02

FIP: 2.05

Mother of god...

We faced him twice in 2012 and beat him twice - 4 ER over 5.1 IP and then 1 ER over 8 IP in which the Mariners lost that game 1-0.

Bring it.

I'll worry about tonight's game first. However, Seattle is slumping offensively. They've scored 53 runs in 17 games this month.

I wasn't OK with 5-5 when this trip started (one game at a time, and NEVER concede a single game, regardless of who the opponent is), and I'm still not OK with it.

6-4 after tomorrow's game.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
