    • Oops, I overlooked that (medication side effects).  Well I guess that's a little better but man it still points to how bad we've been playing.  Hopefully we turn it around soon and we'd better, because there is not much of the season left.  
    • Incorrect.  We beat the Rays in a series in August.  August 9th - 11th. Obviously we beat Colorado and CWS as well, but they were excluded from the numbers to make things sound more dramatic I guess.
    • This one flew under the radar for me for a couple of days. I was stunned that they traded both for Soto. I really liked Johnson and he was so hyped when he came from Houston. I was thinking maybe he had not recovered well from TJ and they were "selling high." But that doesn't appear to me the case. I wonder if Chace, Johnson, Stowers, Norby gets you Tanner Scott instead? If so, I'd rather have him then both Rogers and Soto
    • Irvin was ok depth, but he regressed this year in just about every way. He seemed disinterested pitching in junk ball time which is the role he earned with his inconsistent pitching. He can only go through a lineup maybe twice, and it was clear Hyde just didn't trust him.  Would I have minded if he made it through for depth? Not really. But it's clear he's similar to Trevor Rogers and the Orioles have made their bed with Rogers being here next year. Irvin is not the difference in the Orioles winning or losing in the playoffs and he probably would have been non-tendered this offseason since he has no more options.
    • Don't forget about possible late season returnees (bradish, Wells, maybe even Means).
    • It's looking more & more likely that it will be O's vs. Royals in the wild card series.
    • Jimenez, Rivera, Soto and Slater are getting playing time out of necessity. Mayo, Holliday and Kjerstad have not added anything. There is no more Mountcastle/O'Hearn platoon, there is no depth in the infield (Urias, Westburg, Mateo) and Adley has struggled. The starters have been very solid, and there's reason to believe that the bullpen and lineup will shape up a bit as we head into the playoffs with these guys coming back from injury. Just hope there's enough time. I'm also not sure what's going to happen with Gray-Rod.
