That's kind of the point. It's not about "just winning series." It's about coming up big when your rivals are playing well. If they win 2/3 and the Yanks/Jays sweep a couple of teams, that's not good. If they fail to take advantage (e.g., the Oakland series) when their opponents drop games, that's not good.

I don't know. I'm going to guess that if you won every series, you'd be a lock for the playoffs. I'll worry about what the rest of the division does later. For now, just jeep winning.

Weaver is Oriole Kryptonite, always has been

Yet we have gone 4-4 the last 8 games he has started against us:

Let me put it differently: just winning series isn't good enough when you give away other opportunities to put distance between yourself and your division rivals (e.g., game one in Oakland). If the O's won 2 out of every 3, you're right, they'd be fine. But they haven't. "Only" winning 2/3 in this context should be viewed as a disappointment because of what the rest of the division's done, and what happened during the last series.

Our approach at the plate, so far, is "it's get away day." Boy we're going down quickly.

Well Buck does have 5 guys in lineup hitting under .240.

Chris Davis is absolutely atrocious in his at bats with zero sign of him coming around. Zero.

Well, he's started hitting some to left field. I think that's something. Still bad and still troubling, but there have been little signs of life this road trip.

    • They’ve added a handful of additional receivers in the UDFA class https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/rumor-mill-ravens-undrafed-free-agent-tracker-2024-nfl  
    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.
