The Rangers are one of the easier opponents too.

They are kicking our butts.

Man, I don't care what anyone says, love me Josh Hamilton, would have loved to see him in Orange & Black.

No excuses. Too many belt high meatballs the last two nights. I know the ball was carrying but Gonzo's command was as bad as I've seen from him.

Poor fielding by the pitchers, too.

Yeah that was UGLY, last night you could say well we didn't score, that won't cut it tonight every time we scored they gave it RIGHT BACK, man I HATE THAT!

Which we really did. Yes. Bad fielding pitchers.

I had the pleasure of witnessing last nights Norris homerun derby. Reminded me of opening day when Toronto crushed everything Norris threw them. I believe they said three of the HRs were on changeups and one was on a curveball. They knew what was coming. Tonight it appears the same thing happened. Were the HR's on off speed pitches? Are Norris and Gonzalez tipping their pitches?

This is a simple case of it's not who you play but when you play them. I think Texas had lost 8 out of 10 or something before coming in. The Orioles had won, what, 7 out of 8 or something? Texas wasn't going to keep playing that bad and the Orioles weren't going to keep playing that good. The Indians scored 2 runs in three games over the weekend. They go to Tampa and beat up on them the last two nights. It's just baseball.

So ... now we have two starters - Norris and Gonzalez - throwing like batting practice pitchers. That can't continue. I really think its time to put Norris in the BP and give Gausman a legitimate shot to start on a regular basis.

And should we consider making a pitch for Cole Hamels? Do we have the necessary chips available to pull it off?

Norris's crap outing shouldn't have been unexpected. I was very surprised by Gonzo's outing, though. He's much better than that.
I think that with Gonzo, it was a matter that he just didn't have his stuff this night. It happens with just about every starting pitcher. Even Kershaw gets crushed every so often. It's a mystery why starting pitchers frequently get on the mound-- and discover that they simply don't have it that day. But it happens.

Now if a starting pitcher continues to pitch badly for game after game, then that's a sign that either the pitcher badly needs help, or else he's just not that good.

Gonzo has had one very bad start (maybe another 1 earlier in the season, I can't remember). Norris has had maybe 1 good start. I wonder who will lose his spot in the rotation?

The AL East has been bizarre. Seems like teams go on a nice winning streak and then give it back. Yankees are up and down. Blue Jays are also up and down. Tampa has been the most consistent of all the teams but seem to be going into a tailspin. Do the Orioles also go into a losing streak? No AL East team has sustained anything this year. I guess the team that plays the most consistent will win it. Right now,it looks like no one wants to stay in first place.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
