Streak / L10

BAL: -1, Lost 3 of 4 / L10: 4-6

NYY: +1, Lost 6 of 7 / L10: 3-7

Game 3 (7:05)

(QS=1)Kevin Gausman (0-1) 2.45 (0.91/.175), 10/3 (1HR)

vs.

(QS=3)Masahiro Tanaka (1-0) 2.87 (0.96/.205), 28/6 (2HR)

Kevin Gausman: Gausman has allowed only three earned runs in the 11 innings he has thrown so far this year with only seven hits and three walks allowed and is 15/15 on the type of outs he gets. He has thrown 91 and 94 pitches, but the Orioles have lost both games he has started thus far. He has been very good against the Yankees in almost 40 innings and that looks like it may continue against this Yankees team. Tanaka is tough no matter what team he's on, so he will need to pitch well here.

Masahiro Tanaka: Tanaka has thrown 20.2 innings over his last three starts allowing two earned in each of them with only 17 hits and one walk allowed over that span. Tanaka is a ground ball pitcher so far this season (53/36), but has not thrown 100 pitches in a game yet though he threw 99 and 97 in the last two. This will be the first time he has pitched at Camden Yards, but has done well in four starts against the Orioles despite being prone to the home run.

The Yankees blew out the Orioles in game two winning 7-0 and marks the second time in three games that the Yankees have put up seven runs. Wilson was going well, but ultimately fell apart in the sixth inning including throwing a ball down the first base line on a play at first. The Yankees owe this win to Jacoby Ellsbury who really stepped up his game in this one and got that sixth inning rally started as their six game skid is finally snapped. It looks like the Yankees offense may be waking up after all and suddenly, the Orioles are in danger of finishing two series on this home stand and not having won either of them. The Orioles have now lost three of four at home and it seems like this honeymoon that started 7-0 is really crashing down in a hurry as the team is 8-11 since then. Obviously, those nifty team BA and BA w/RISP numbers everyone loves throwing around isn't doing the Orioles a bit of good when it comes to winning games lately and that's the most important number of all. The Orioles lineup is full of power hitters, but not a whole lot of skillful/smart hitters.

So, Tanaka and Gausman. Gausman has pitched well for his career against the Yankees and the guy that hits him the best (A-Rod) won't be playing. Tanaka has also pitched well against the Orioles, but has been prone to the home run ball. Unfortunately, that's about all he gives up as his WHIP and BAA are very low. This will be Tanaka's first career start at Camden Yards, so we'll see how that factors into things.

In the division, the Orioles fall back to a half game in second place while Toronto, who has won two in a row, sits three back of the division leading Red Sox, TB at 3.5 back and the Yankees bringing up the rear six games out after the first month and change of the season.

I am not terribly optimistic about this game tonight. We really haven't hit well(outside of Trumbo and Manny) in a week and still face their best.Im hoping Gausman can keep us in it, but again, Im not upbeat.

Reverse jinx! I like it!

Not upbeat at all. But Gausman looks ok. And Gardner is out because of the DBundy HBP. (xrays negative)

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
