The weird thing is I thought to myself "this game is going to be very similar to Friday's first game" since it was tied at the start of 9. then the Yankees got a 1 run lead and I thought ok this needs to REALLY look like that game now! They break the tie in the ninth by one, then we get two to walk off in the bottom, just like Friday! Amazing!

I felt it coming honestly. A) we have heart and B) Roberson has been used alot this series.

Way to go Orioles! I was with you all the way.

I hope some of you can grow some heart for the play-offs. It is hard to hang here with all the whining and doomsday prognostications. Sorry to be harsh, but man the F up.

Seriously. A lot of quitting in these threads, especially for a team with an 11.5 game lead and the 2nd best record in baseball.

Not a lot of want to.

Yeah, it's almost bizarre. Our starting pitcher has allowed 3 runs or less in 19 straight starts, and he -- gasp -- gives up a run and struggles a bit in the 2nd and there is a post about how he is "not ready for prime time".

We have won 14 of our last 20 yet there is another post about how we are staggering to the finish line like a distance runner who is stumbling and crawling to the finish line while the other runners are gaining on him.

I couldn't make this crap up if I tried.

We'll likely be the first team to clinch. Wouldn't know it tho here. I mean i hate being harsh because i know they love the O's as much as I do but we're 89-60 not 60-89. These aren't your mid 2000s O's. This is a legit contender.

      This is where my outlook rests too.    This year's Strong SP acquisition occurring ~2/1 kind of sets a yardstick.   Its bookend is ~8/1, and those two dates figure to recur as moments around when Elias/Sigbot are probable to acquire via trade important pitchers for short terms. Player development and qualifying offers help keep the supply of Joey Ortizes high.     In five years if things work our really well, there's probably an entire other team or team and a half of ex-Orioles bats active around the league. That said Szymborski's point he's the strongest pitcher money can buy for the rest of the Adley-Gunnar years seems on target, and I do credit Elias-Sig with a sharp eye where the top of the talent pyramid is.

      Hard to argue with that analysis from Law. I like Etzel, especially for a 10th round pick, but he's probably got more of a 4th outfielder vibe to him because of his lack of pop. I also want to see him against upper level pitching before getting too high on him. Also, while I do think he's a plus runner, he's not a burner. More like McKenna speed with better base stealing instincts.

      Just want to clarify what Girardi said about Mountcastle, to break up any confusion on what he said or by what I meant he said. Not trying to derail the topic off of Cowser, just want to clarify. After the commentary team talked about how the Orioles are aggressive at the plate and don't walk, Girardi said: "Talking about the young hitters with the Orioles, the fourth highest in chase rate. But Mountcastle isn't one of those guys. He's in the top, uh, lowest 8th percent of chase. But we just got him to chase that good cutter." Take that however you want.

      I was just checking to see if there was a thread on him. .948 OPS playing CF is interesting. 22 years old, drafted with one year of college ball. Any reports on the defense?

      I think the Yankees will destroy Oriole pitching this week...

      By LookinUp · Posted

      Who knows, maybe he lives in a state without online sports betting, has the means to lay $1,500 on the money line of a baseball game and actually believes that Roy's posting is indicative of the Orioles' performance. But I kind of doubt it.

      Any Interest in Kevin Pillar or Aaron Hicks?

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      In a no doubles defense the ball should have never got behind McKenna. I’ll take Hicks back for the simple fact Kjerstad can get regular AB in Norfolk. Also Mullins hasn’t gotten a break in a while.
