PSA: Do not pitch to Ramirez.

Our offense is averaging 4.81 runs/game in September. If that's our big concern, then things must be pretty good.

PSA: Do not pitch to Ramirez.

I thought we weren't supposed to pitch to Mookie. Or Ortiz. I am so confused.

It's a preemptive caution. So that we can reflect on the error of our ways.

But that is because of the 15 run blow out!. Wait. That was a different year.

I saw a stat that over the last 10 games as of Friday, the starters held a 4.01 ERA. Just imagine how that number might be had that 12-2 game been a little more reasonable.

The TB Rays have been pretty good and their pitching is really starting to turn a corner. A little to late yes, but running into a few good arms recently has not helped the offense much.

[ORIOLE33]

The offense hasn't been great, but pretty good. But I do worry that the offense will pick a bad time to go into one of its prolonged slumps.

I was looking to the side of the screen--isn't it amazing that three of our top 5 WAR guys are pitchers? Tillman, Gausman, and Britton.
