Estrada is our daddy because our team simply does not have patience.

If they can't hit HR's against him, they can't score.

All we got was a solo that went about 3 inches over the wall.

It's a pretty common theme against guys who can move the ball around a lot. We just don't have the patience to beat guys who make us work.

Schoop sets the tempo. Overly aggressive. I felt like Estrada wasn't particularly good with his control. But we were just way too aggressive against him.

With a strike zone the size of a zip code, you aren't going to have a lot of walks. They've swung at some balls no doubt, but the Jays were called out on strikes over and over. Many of which were on pitches that were arguably balls. If they weren't swinging, there would be gnashing of teeth over the time they struck out looking.

They might have the best homefield advantage in baseball. Their fans fill that place and are loud.

      In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?

      Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.

      I would bring McCann back on a one year deal

      It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?

      Here is a summary for you: The chances of us doing anything other than hosting a WC round are extremely low. Not enough baseball left for a team to make up four games.
