I'm happy to lead the Yankees (by% points) but look ahead...our pitching rotation this weekend could be butchered by Texas....Suarez vs. Scherzer tomorrow...(not a good match up) then Povich and Irvin again....our "lead" will Lely be short lived...but I'm happy we actually gained ground on the Yankees...for now..

 

This isn’t Scherzer from 2018 tomorrow and has made 1 start to date. Agreed we will need to score runs again, but Suarez has pitched well at home. Also the Yankees have a bad matchup tomorrow in Strohman who is due for regression when you look at his metrics. We shall see.

Ced broke Verdugo's ankles so he might need Lake Erie Med's services.

Expecting Scherzer to no hit them in his second start coming back from injury?

Since tonight was the first game of the four games set against the Rangers . I had a question. Should the Orioles sweep Rangers this series , would the Rangers wave the white flag 🏳️ and become sellers ?    
 

Or is it still too early ?

I guess it would depend on what the other teams above them in the wild card race do over the period. They are only 7 games out of the last wild card slot. It’s not even the break yet so they aren’t buried yet. A couple of 7 out of 10 streaks and they are right back in the thick of it.

I don’t think they’d sell unless their season went completely off the rails.

I'm happy that I made it through yesterday intact but look ahead...there are thousands of viruses floating around out there, and it might thunderstorm this weekend...I feel there's a solid chance I get struck by lightning at least twice...my "health" will likely be short lived...but I'm happy to be alive...for now..

Yeah it would, then the question is . What is their definition of “ off the rails “ ?  Either way, we get the answer within 30 days

We REALLY need to get Suarez out of this rotation. It's been fun, but he's hitting a wall and really should be a reliever. Kremer soon, I guess.

It would be great to see Stroman join his fellow starters Cole, Gil and Rodon in the "One bad start or there a problem here?" club. 

The NYYs' in the last week is 7.50 (29th in MLB). For June, it's 5.27 (28th in MLB). I wonder, among other things, whether looking at that pitching staff and at the bottom five in the NYYs' batting order will have an impact on Soto's decision about where to spend the rest of his career.

6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB.  That's so terrible I imagine Elias is contemplating DFA'ing him!

Happy to be wrong! Still think he should go to the bullpen when Kremer is back because the bullpen needs him. Or Irvin.

2 up in the Loss column. When you’re playing at the clip that us and the Yankees are… that’s a big lead. 

Yeah , for now.  We have to keep our pace while they’re struggling . We have upcoming 3 games series against them 7/12-7/14 before AS Break

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By SteveO · Posted

      There are plenty of legit questions and things to address. Gunnar’s playoff performance is not one of them. He had two bad games on a big stage. Happens even to clutch guys. That’s why you have teammates. This was a collective offensive failure. I’ll give Mullins the one pass  I want Gunnar to focus on fixing his throwing motion and cutting down the unforced fielding errors.

      Here here. Totally agree. This team is boring as paint drying to watch.

      I fear the O's & Stros may have just handed NYY the AL pennant on a platter.  Detroit and KC are Cinderellas but I doubt the Yankees will lose to any of these AL Central teams in a long series.

      They don’t know what they are talking about. The same people complaining about the lack of clutch hitting this year are the same people that constantly complained about Adam Frazier being on the team last year. It’s clear that anyone who wants to be positive or try to find a silver lining isn’t welcome here. Just a bunch of crybabies who’d prefer to blame a group of fine young players for losing instead of giving credit to the other team for winning.

      I stopped reading at page 8 because I'm losing ground on this post: 1. The hitting coaches and the "Offensive Strategy Coach" needs to be the 1st out the door. Is the OSC guy a analytics guy, while the regular HC's are hands on "here's how you swing" type? During game 1, Ragans and Burnes were cruising along, when Ced led off the 3rd with a double. I was thinking maybe Hyde knew this could be a close game, however, McCann did not square to bunt, nor give any indication he would be pushing the ball to the right side and move Ced over.  The Royals never had to change their defensive approach.. and no message was sent to the Royals manager that we weren't above small ball. Yet, like time and time again this year, runners were never advanced and Hyde let the players play. McCann is a pretty good bunter (that I recall). So why not show your willingness to move runners? 2. Does Sig and team put out a game map with analytics for everything baseball, and every situation? What happens if Hyde goes against the "analytics" and tells a player to bunt a guy over? Does Hyde get called into the office? I'm serious, is Hyde a puppet for the analytics or does he have free rein in-game? The answer to the question would be whether I think Hyde should stay or go. While Mountcastle has truly struggled at times with outside pitches, he's a very good 1st baseman.. and does keep a pretty good average/HR/RBI etc. He's frustrating, but not a failure. We can't keep getting rid of every player any more.. we don't have a lot of people in the minors, and who know how much Mr. R is willing to spend.

      Yes, sorry, 3B Westburg. Seemed to hold it down pretty good pre injury.
