Terps down 6 at the half. Could be alot worse, I guess. Hate seeing those 16-1 runs. Gotta hope Gary can motivate the team to come out and play some perimeter D in the second half and maybe put a few more points up.

They did hit like 4 threes during that run though.

Jones keeping hopes alive. I'm feeling down about this one. Need to come out of the locker room with a plan to change things up cause the way the game has been going is not in a the terps favor.

Why was Jones on the bench for so long?

All you need to know about Jones's career was when he was stripped inside with about 5 minutes left and turned his back and the ball came right back towards him as he was heading down court. He wasn't the only one either, GW will puke when he sees that.

Hey, I won't complain. I didn't see Bowers even step off the bench in the first half. We can only hope that it will stay that way.

This is true...I don't mind Bowers being on the court when he's just being a warm body and playing some D. It's when he tries to play offense, that's what gets me.

He's the only reliable 3 PT threat and made both of the Terps 3 pointers in the 1st half. When the other team is making 7-13, he needs to be in there to at least try and answer that.

    • I'm curious to see if it is immediate IL or downshifting to Irvin's swingman role is possible. He has been preventing runs early in games, and if it is just stamina he might still be a puzzle piece in the upcoming stretch. Obviously possible something acute happened on one of the pitches yesterday, if so that might make him a 2025-2026 two year kind of guy like Mahle or Woodruff from this past offseason if somebody really likes him.
    • Tampa also rolled the dice on him one offseason with leaving him off the 40-man roster when his name was prominent as a top Rule 5 candidate. Nobody did the Anthony Santander thing out of A-ball with a catcher. He was a high school bat who commanded a $1.6M bonus, and some of why high school catchers maybe have 2nd place to high school pitchers as a risky demographic is they take so long to develop. The Mariners have Cal Raleigh now and Harry Ford later.    It makes "who will the backup catcher be in 2025" less of a mystery starting out the offseason.
    • Sure, he’s by no means somebody that the Orioles should be overly resistant to part with if he’s a necessary piece in a deadline deal. But he’s not superfluous in the system so he’s not somebody I would expect they look to offer up as trade bait. I think the Orioles will try to deal from their strength in infield, corner OF and C, and avoid trying to deal any pitchers or CF. But if the team they’re trading with is demanding pitching or CF in return, Fabian and others the Orioles would probably prefer to hang onto will be on the table. Like when the Orioles traded Zach Showalter in the Flaherty deal last year, likely because the Cardinals were demanding pitching. 
    • Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.
    • It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now. 
    • Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.  
    • Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.
