Lord I needed that

Remind me the last time we had a HR as huge as Jones' shot in the 8th. This team hasn't had a 6 game losing streak since Aug 22-28, 2011, Buck's first full season.

Well, Lough's game-winning walk-off jack against Boston comes to mind. That was in extra innings and was on the heels of a three-game losing streak. But this was equally huge, and arguably huger given the five-game losing streak.

This 2-run shot against Mariano Rivera in the top of the 9th inning in 2013 was very big:

It won us the game, and it prevented us from being swept by the Yankees.

Adam Jones scored all three runs today. Praise Adam Jones!

I almost started a thread on Jones, but this is a good place to discuss it. I often feel that as Jones goes, so does the team. He plays hard every day, slumping or not, but when he is hitting well it really seems to me that it picks the whole team up, and when he's struggling, the whole team starts to press. Hopefully today was the start of a hot spell for Jones and the team can ride along with him.

    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
    • Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 
    • Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.
    • I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen 
    • Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
