Gausman pitches well, but gives up the two run homer to Plouffe which was an awful pitch and cost himself a chance at a win. The Twins pitched well in this game until Jepsen came in looking pretty bad and ended up giving up the game winning runs to Jones though the ball should have been caught in left field, so it's not all on Jepsen. The Orioles get the win as they should and will look for the series win tomorrow afternoon. Jones looked good for perhaps the first time this season and I'm starting to believe he might really be alright now with the injuries.

So, Wilson and Hughes. Obviously, this doesn't look good for Hughes who has been pretty awful over his last two starts while Wilson has been doing alright and has thrown three shutout innings against this Twins team already this year, but that's it and he will pitch at Discount Retailer Field for the first time here.

In the division, Boston is keeping up as they have won three in a row as well and remain tied for the lead with the Orioles with the Jays and Rays 3.5 back. Toronto is currently leading the Giants 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth and the Rays are trailing the M's 6-2 heading into the top of the sixth. In the central, the White Sox are running away with the division as they have a 5.5 game lead over the Indians and currently lead the Rangers 10-5 in the bottom of the sixth. Only the Cubs have a better record than the White Sox.

Two things stick out to me regarding that line up card you posted weams.

1. Don't we need another left handed relief pitcher?

and

2. Why in Gods name is Adam still that high in the batting order? Last night not with standing

Yes.

And Because he is the leader of the club and he is healthy. And he deserves it. And it does not matter. People who want to drop him are simply thinking it would motivate him. He is not done. He is not close to done. He is a great player. Who is now healthy and is starting to get his timing.

You don't want to be patient at the plate today. Unless you fall behind early.

    • It's in our hands, after all (three of the next four, anyway).
    • It's rather ironic that in the biggest series, we pitch our preseason 7-8-9 starters against the Skankees. So far so good with our deep depth in the rotation. What a coup it would be to take the series that way!
    • Gotta beat the best if you want to be the best. Hoping for a series win but it’s a hard series to predict considering they’re so evenly matched. 
    • I'm completely fine with Irvin and Kremer as numbers 4 and 5, but not so much as 3 and 4, Suarez and Povich are great as depth and stopgaps for the next few weeks.  A #3 starter is a clear need if Bradish is gone for the rest of the year.  Fortunately there's enough time before the trade deadline figure that out, but I'm not optimistic about his prospects.  It's a pipe dream to think that the O's are in the driver's seat at the moment, so personally, I'm looking for the best starter I can find that doesn't cost Holliday, Mayo and Basallo at the MiL level and Westburg, Henderson, Rodriguez, Cowser and Rutchman at the ML level. Being a player in the post season is going to be expensive, but the future for the O's is now and it's no secret.
    • Provided the O's win tomorrow and even better if the Yankees lose tomorrow, the O's will be within range of the division lead. The players are focused on tomorrow's game, but I figured I would take a look ahead at the series. The good:  O's don't have to face Gil or Rodon.  Gil pitched Friday, but Gil seems to have been given extra rest or Yankees are going to 6 man rotation?  O's offense has been resurgent lately and the coldest bats in May are some of the hottest like Santander and Urias and Hays(maybe?).  Gunnar and Adley continue to dependable cogs of the offense. The bad:  Judge has just been mashing the ball since the O's/Yankees early season meeting.  Soto is healthy after the forearm soreness.  Some guy the Yankees signed as a depth move, Cody Poteet, who had a 19-39 minor league record, now has a ERA barely over 2 in limited action.  Poteet is Tuesday's starter.  Cole had 10 K's in 4 1/3 innings in his last rehab start and is likely Wednesday's starter.  Yankees barely have any injuries. The ugly:  The state of the O's bullpen compared to the teams' first meeting.  Danny Coulombe, maybe our best reliever was a huge loss.  Not having Bradish for Thursday game is huge.  Winning 2 of 3 would be great.  Realistically, I would be happy if the O's don't get swept. Tuesday:   Suarez (3-0, 1.61 ERA)  vs Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA) Wednesday:  Povich (0-1, 4,76 ERA) vs Undecided (Cole?) 0-0 Thursday:  Irvin (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs Cortes (3-5, 3.59 ERA)
    • This would be a perfect time for the NYY to go on a nice losing streak...
    • 1) Jack flaherty had like 5 or 6 good starts in a row before we traded for him. His overall era wasn’t great, but the month or so before he had been pitching much better.    2) whip plays a bit better as a reliever if it’s walks and high k rate when they are less worried about managing pitch count over 5+ innings. It’s not ideal but it plays better out of the pen (see dl hall) 3) Burnes is a top 5 pitcher in baseball, and we got him for a full season. Tanner Scott is nowhere near a top 5 reliever and we’d probably get him for 2 months.    if we got Scott for a package like what we gave up for flaherty or a bit better, I’m fine with it. Norby if we are convinced that is the reliever that gets us over the hump. But I’m not sure Scott is that guy, or that we are one reliever away (especially if bradish is out).
