Relive it here.

It's big if the Orioles win the next two. I look forward to seeing Parra in the lineup and hope he contributes. Next game is the remaining Tigers "ace", Anibal Sanchez. Even though his ERA is almost as high as Verlander's. :confused:

Man, it didn't take long for the Tigers to go from having maybe the best rotation in baseball to having a real problem there.

I fully enjoyed the walk off live on TV as I did Harper getting ejected. FP was sad.

O's win, nats lose, mets win - the trifecta

One of the best fireworks displays I've ever seen, perfectly synchronized with the music playlist. It's amazing what they can do these days.

As to the game, it was exhilarating and frustrating at the same time. We had runners on first and third and one out three times: strikeout by Davis, double play gtounder by Jones, strikeout by Flaherty. Then later, runners on first and third, nobody out: Davis tries to steal 2B without sliding and is tagged out, then Wieters strikes out. Seems a funny thing to say after scoring 8 runs, but the offense really frustrated me.

On the other hand, the top of the order got on base a ton, the homers were timely, and the Jones-Schoop-Wieters relay was a thing of beauty.

o

I was on the road for 9 hours yesterday, driving home from North Carolina to Brewster.

I caught the first inning and-a-half on the Orioles radio station when I was in south-central Pennsylvania, and heard Chen giving up 2 runs before the broadcast faded out.

I was then relegated to listening to the Yankee game (Suzyn Waldman and John Sterling) for the rest of the trip, and relying on their updates.

About an hour later I heard that the Tigers were winning by a score of 6-1, and that Chen had gotten KO'd in the 4th inning.

At that point, I thought to myself, "There is no way that they will surmount another epic comeback the very next day after nearly erasing a 7-run deficit."

About an hour later, Waldman and Sterling informed me that the Orioles were winning the game by a score of 8-7 entering the 9th inning.

Unbelievable.

Bobby Dickerson's arm should need stop windmilling.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By PsychoBird68 · Posted

      Talking about hollering before your hurt...LOL...our bullpen is tied for the most wins at 16 and have the most SVO at 33 and they have the 6th best ERA at 3.44 and that's the only reason we are 15 game above 500 and we're 9th in Innings pitched but we do have 9 losses as a bullpen but that could be a lot worse considering we only have 3 guys that has pitched consistent which is why Hyde has a short leash but I'm sure if he left some of those middle relievers in longer and we lost 8 or 10 more of them SVO you all would at least think he was managing the bullpen correctly.... SMH.....

      Dean Kremer 2023

      By LA2 · Posted

      Over the 35.33 innings of his last six starts, Dean Kremer has given up only 10 earned runs for an ERA of 2.55. In four of those starts, he's gone 6 to 6.33 innings.

      Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to see something just like this about Felix.

      Oooooh. Didn't expect that recall. I'm excited to see it! Bruce has been grinding it out a long time in Norfolk. He started the season looking good, and he started 2022 looking good against Major League talent. Can he peform in June 2023 the way that he performed in April 2022? I hope so. I'm here to see it! I like the idea of left handed starters. Because we have none in the rotation and I want to see 2 good ones sprinkled in. I've got my popcorn, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Bruce Zimmerman can do!

      Would you make this trade for Shane Bieber and Jose Ramirez

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Let's start with Ramirez... 1) He'll be 31 in September 2) He's signed thru 2028 3) There is $105M remaining on his contract for 2024-28, for baseball ages 31-35 (he'll be 36 when the contract ends 4) His power production has dropped dramatically in 2023 despite the fact his FB rate has increased 5) His overall offensive production is the lowest it has been since 2015 (age 22) I think the Indians might be happy to offload this contract if they could find a taker to give them some minimal value for it and they are not in contention. My conclusion: If the Orioles like him for the money over the next 5 years, he might be worth a 3-for-1 exchange of truly unknow prospect potential, but not Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod.  Think 1 of Prieto OR Willems plus 2 more hard throwers from Delmarva.  I would be seriously concerned about how a contract like Ramirez' would constrain the Orioles from signing Rutschman or Henderson to the sort of extension that will make them career Orioles.  Just like in football, where fans are tossing out 2nd round draft picks like they were party favors, I really dislike trading any top 100 prospect and certainly not one that comes with a strong possibility for an over-market priced contract. Bieber... 1) He's 28 as of 5/31 2) This is his worst season since his rookie year with a depressed K rate, increased BB and over 1 hit/IP, but he's still hanging in with an ERA that is somewhat better than the league average. 3) He's making $10M this season and will have his final year of arbitration prior to 2024, which makes the cost of him with a 1.5 year horizon bearable if you can assume he'll maintain his current 110 ERA+.  In addition, given the short horizon and age, that's a much smaller risk than for Ramirez. 4) This is where ME and his team come in to see if they can identify WHY he's not pitching nearly as well this season in addition to the obvious "Will he put the Orioles over the top?" My conclusion: Bieber may well be sought after, but I wouldn't trade any of Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod for him.  I'd probably be willing to trade either Rom OR Ortiz plus another couple of live arms from the lower minors.  Westburg plus 2 Delmarva arms for both Ramirez and Bieber would be an enormous risk (see Ramirez), but I could get behind it if ME and team have decided he won't be nearly the offensive threat he is now in Camden Yards.
