      Orioles Cannot be Complacent -- Look at History

      Why? He's not the most athletic outfielder, but the guy hit 45 homers.  I think they should at least try and keep the guy. Maybe not break the bank, but they should try and keep him.

      I think I'm rooting for the Yankees too. I know I shouldn't but I had it up to here with KC teams beating Baltimore teams. KC have become Baltimore's daddy in sports.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      I think it's got some merit but I don't know what to expect from Adley in regards to defense at first base.  Mounty has fashioned himself into a pretty solid defender at first base.  I'm having a hard time seeing Adley's fat ass being nimble and quick around the bag if I'm being honest.   You are right, a lot of it is timing.  But quite frankly, I'm good with carrying two backup catchers and waiting for Basallo if Adley were to move to first base.  IMO, catchers are here to call a good game, handle the staff, block pitches in the dirt, frame and steal strikes, do what they can to control the running game and provide leadership.  I'm completely over this wet dream of having a catcher that can hit after watching Wieters and Adley's 2nd half this year.  If you can luck your way into having a catcher that can hit, that's a bonus but it shouldn't be a focal point of building the team.  Here's hoping Adley can bounce back and be good with the bat next year and stay healthy.  Hard to believe he's dealing with nagging injuries that are effecting performance at age 26 but that's where we are.

      I hate the Royals, ever since they swept us in 2014 and Jeremy Effing Guthrie dissed us.   They have great starting pitching and they have Bobby Witt.  The rest of the team is mediocre at best.  I think the Yankees will slaughter them.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By wickedsolo · Posted

      I don't disagree that the bullpen has been a bit of a mess this year, but honestly, the bullpen did its job against the Royals. That's a good team and they held them to 3 runs over 18 innings. Considering they lost Bradish, Grayson, Means, Wells, and Bautista...I think they did pretty well.  The O's offense has to be better and more disciplined at the plate.  I think they need to clean house with their batting coaches. You can't have your best players up there swinging at shit like breaking balls that are way out of the zone. They also need to get a lot better at small ball and situational hitting. We had bases loaded last night and couldn't even get a run in. It's not like the Royals were blasting runs into the stands, they were getting on base, sending runners to second, and having strong at-bats to get guys in scoring position. This was a huge weakness for the Orioles this season. They were either scoring double-digits with multiple home runs, or they were losing because they couldn't manufacture anything.

      We don't know that yet. The Royals have had an up and down season, but they are no slouches. I think NYY might be in for a surprise.
