Seth Smith 1/1

Nathan Karns: In his last start against the Orioles, Karns threw six shutout innings and allowed only one hit and two walks while striking out seven which happens to be his only start at Camden Yards. Karns has been especially solid over his last four starts as he has gone at least six innings and allowed three runs or less in all of them with only two home runs allowed over that span. He has struggled a bit with walks though walking three batters in two of those games. The M's offense has scored four or more runs in all but two of his starts and have scored six or more runs in four of them ans as a result, they have won five of the seven games Karns has started.

The Orioles get the better of the M's in game two, but Seattle missed a lot of opportunities and gifted the Orioles at least one run. Tillman wasn't great and probably should have gotten hit a lot harder, but he comes away with yet another quality start and gets the win. Trumbo and Wieters both took advantage of some bad pitches from Walker and had good games. The Orioles snap the two game skid with the win tonight and will play the finale at lunch time tomorrow.

Karns has been very good for Seattle especially over the last four starts, but continues to struggle a bit with walks. His only start at Camden Yards was an absolute gem and has done well against the Orioles in four starts, but has been hurt with the long ball. Wilson has had two very good starts in a row and has pitched well at home so far this season. I think this one is a bit of a toss up.

Elsewhere, the Rays have won three in a row now and sit five games back and David Price pitches well for the second time in four starts as Boston is up 5-2 going into the ninth which would snap KC's three game winning streak and split the doubleheader. Meanwhile, Toronto's offense continues to not produce and has dropped five in a row sliding to seven back. Chicago's division lead is evaporating in the Central as they have now dropped four in a row while Cleveland, KC and even Detroit are closing in with Cleveland in position to pull within three with a win tonight. Oakland has won four in a row also while Texas has lost three in a row and Seattle is currently treading water at the moment sitting a game up in the West.

    • He is not the answer by himself, but along with Westburg and maybe Kjerstad, you'd be upgrading the bottom of the lineup who are all automatic outs to average or better hitters. We dominated the league with Gunnar plus a bunch of .750-.800 guys. Yes, we need at least a couple of Cowser, O'Hearn, Adley, and Santander to pick things up. But every bit helps and right now Urias we would be a massive upgrade over what we're getting from Holliday. 
    • Question for all of you corporate types: If you owned this "company," what's your next step?  Perhaps even more importantly, what do you do in the off season?  Based on performance, the team is competitive. I think most pundits have the team as 99% likely to make the playoffs. However, I think the NYY are favored to win the division. by those same pundits. At the start of the season, the goal was to make the playoffs. Mission likely accomplished for the second year in a row. That's in spite of a vicious injury bug.  However, there is an old saying in business that if you are not improving, you are going backwards. This team does not appear to be improved from 2023. What do you do about that?  IMHO, this is a pivotal off season for the O's. Lots of important decisions to make. Plenty of salary flexibility. Many of the young star prospects have gotten their feet wet. It seems rather clear that the existing player assets are rather well defined.  It should be an interesting winter.  
    • I saw this scrolling on Instagram and just assumed it was a joke.  Guess I was wrong 
    • I doubt there will be a change but I'm sure it would be someone who is on the Elias/Sig train of thinking.  
    • Norby was on a heater that got everyone overreacting. I hope he has a long MLB career. But he is also 0 for his last 17 now with 7 k's. People want to ignore that though to fit the narrative.
    • Is Urias an upgrade over Rivera? Sure. But I dont think hes anyone thats going to change the trajectory of this team. He was awful for 80% of this season, then turned it on the last month or so. Hopefully he comes back and is that person from August. Kjerstad should be back, but based on what we've seen in the past, he wont play. Hyde has had him and Mayo on completely different playing schedules than the other young guys. O'Hearn is just showing who he is unfortunately. Exposed in an every day role. He was best in the platoon DH and sometimes 1B role.
    • You might get Urias and maybe Kjerstad. what they need more is guys that are here doing better, Adley and O'hearn snapping out of their months long slumps. Any contribution from Holliday, Mayo and Jimenez would help too.
