Something interesting I looked up today -- Prince Fielder now has a career total of 313 homers and 1,007 RBIs. His dad Cecil Fielder had career totals of 319 homers and 1,008 RBIs. Like father, like son?

Prince is struggling badly at the plate this year (.200 avg with 2 homers)... maybe he's just reluctant to overtake his old man.

He's not aging well?!?! Shocker! :D

After Rougned's walk off 2-run homer, Elvis was in the building with this:

They're a fun loving bunch of guys. Like the way the organization is run too. Perfect mix of international development in their system and they don't take on horribly bad contracts as a habit. (Remember Detroit paid much a lot in the Fielder trade) I'm talking current FO not as far back as Rodriguez. And they hire great people around the stadium. Nice venue to see a game, part of the design was patterned off OPACY. Fun atmosphere.

    • This Oriole team has much better talent.  Gunner Henderson, Jordan Westberg, Adley, Santander, Grayson, and Corbin Burnes don’t have a 4-32 streak in them.  Even if they fill the rest of the positions with OH posters.  I think a rotation of Burnes, Grayson, and Kremer as your top 3 is a better than 500 team the rest of the way at least.  The jury is out on Povich but if he pitches as well as he has the Orioles with this offense will have a good chance to win when he starts.  Is the team good enough to win it all?  They need help most likely.  One consistent starter and a couple of better arms in the bullpen.  This team is going to the playoffs.  To think they are not at this point is based on emotion and not anything else.  
    • It’s funny that people are wanting to bring back Tanner Scott and his 6.1 walk rate, but balking at McDermott and his 5.5 walk rate. I’m leery of McDermott too, but as they say, “any port in a storm,” so no reason not to give him a try.
    • It sort of makes no sense, his GB% is much higher than last year but his HR/FB went from 10% last year to 26% this year. Walks are way up too.
    • Suarez and Irvin were always going to regress. You didn’t think they would be sub 3 ERA pitchers did you?  Irvin is a solid guy for the back of the rotation but that’s what he is, a back of rotation guy. They are pieces you need to eat innings and keep you in most games but these aren’t world beaters on the mound. Suarez is a good story but there is a reason he has had the career he has had. The fear that we will slowly sink is an unfounded and irrational fear. The team has to get better and they have to improve on obvious needs but we don’t need to go overboard here.  All teams have holes they need to address.
    • Good point.  Every now and then he looks like vintage Cano from early last year but he’s no longer trustworthy.
    • Speaking of scar tissue, a review of our storied/checkered past shows an uglier picture than we like to recall... St. Louis Browns 1902-1953: 52 years, 1 WS (1944), loss. Baltimore Orioles 1954-1983: 30 years, 6 WS (3-3), plus 2 more ALCS losses. Orioles 1984-2023: 40 years, 6 playoffs losses (1 WC, 2 ALDS, 3 ALCS).
    • Cano is having an awful season. He's been worth -0.3 fWAR with a 4.62 FIP. I know you have to use the arms you have, but you can't utilize Cano like it's 2023, he's terrible and should be the lowest-leverage reliever out of the pen right now. He's carrying the same BABIP as last year, but his results are awful.
