Again.

It's rare enough for the Orioles to win 3 games in a row at all, let alone simultaneously coordinate those wins with Yankee losses on the same day.

Yup, we're definitely gaining on them. Remember ........ It's not over until the C.C. sings.

Nationals  9    - NYY's  2 , The Nationals committed 5 errors. It was an enjoyable game, despite Joe Buck's play-by-play.

The O's are tied for first place with 58 games to go.    :new_beer:

The Orioles won.

The White Sox won.

The Yankees lost.

The Red Sox lost.

That's as good as it gets for me.

We are tied for first and there's only one team in the entire AL with a better record than us.  What a roller coaster of a season it has been so far!

I mean the cognoscenti were writing us off just yesterday!  B E L E I V E (I before E except after C, unless you believe in science or have a conscience)

At the end, "Might be, could be, it is!"  "What do you think John Smoltz?"

If I didn't know who John Smoltz is, when I listen to much of what he say I would think, "There's a guy who doesn't know much about baseball. I wonder what he's doing on a network broadcast."  At least I know how Joe Buck got his job, even if I can't figure out how he keeps it.

John Smoltz is a golfer.  Have you seen a ball more crushed than Giancarlo did yesterday?

What's the appropriate balance between enjoying this baseball season (short term gain) without sacrificing enjoy baseball in Baltimore for many seasons to come (long term gain)?

Do we want to lose every game in extra innings by 1 run? An unearned one at that with the current rule.

No balance. Just win every game

    • Melewski’s a little slow.  I saw that yesterday, elsewhere.
    • I wouldn’t trade Basallo or Mayo straight up for Crochet. We need a starter and Crochet may not be a starter the rest of the year and this work load could affect his arm next year as well. He’s just too much of a risk and may not help us win this year.  If we could use Kjerstad to headline a deal, I would think something could be worked out.  Personally, I doubt crochet is traded. Getz is going to overvalue him and teams aren’t going to part with a top 20 guy and a top 50 guy plus more.  It’s just not happening, as I said it wouldn’t for Cease. As for other pitchers, some of the Texas guys are certainly possible. Miami has some intriguing options potentially. I’m a Detmers guy, although he’s a bit of a project.(maybe big BP help this year) I am also more about improving the pen first. End of the day, do I want Fedde starting game 3 of a playoff series?  As of today, I’m not sure I do so I don’t want to trade assets for that guy.
    • Gibson is being promoted to Aberdeen, per Melewski.
    • Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so. 
    • I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️ 
    • But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.
