It Is Disconcerting When You Score 13 Runs And Have To Bring In Your Closer

Britton was set up to pitch this game not having participated in games one and two. No problem there. Today is Ubaldo's last chance to prove himself. A mediocre performance will probably buy him another start, a total screw up will put him in the pen and a great start will buy him 2-3 more starts. Wright needs to return to the Tide. I like the worley/Bundy combo until Gallardo returns.

I am not disconcerted by tonight's game. AL teams have allowed 9+ runs in a game 71 times this year, about 4.7 times per team. We've done it 4 times. It happens. The fact that we won is impressive. The team showed a ton of resilience.

I agree. Glad we won.

Britton was going to pitch regardless. Hadn't pitched since Sunday in Clev.

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
