Because they got to feast on the NL East while everyone else was playing within the division.

Playing the B league. Boston's pitching doesn't scare me at all. Their lineup worries me because we lack Strikeouts from our starting staff. Gausman, Brach and Matusz should all be big factors in this 4 gamer.

And they might be the rest of the year. Boston having its weakest rotation in a long time' date=' and being on top of the AL East, aren't mutually exclusive.[/quote']

The Tigers had a great rotation and it only carried them so far.

I think the Orioles overall, offense, defense and pitcher is better than the others.

Jimenez vs. Kelly on Friday, Tillman vs. Buckholz on Saturday, Chen vs. Porcello on Sunday, and Gonzalez vs. Masterson on Monday. Would I be too bold in saying we have the SP advantage in every matchup?

I'd rate Porcello vs Chen as a tossup. Jimenez and Buckholz are major wildcards. I think Gonzo is a lock. I would not be upset with a 2-2 split.

Their offense is no joke, y'all. And so far all of our pitchers have had 1 clunker except for Ubaldo, who's up next. But I like our pitching matchups on paper. No reason to not at least split.

Gonzo gave up 1 run his first start. After he'd left the game. It certainly wasn't a great start by his standards but not a clunker either.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
