I will say this, the Orioles cannot afford for Gausman to give his Ubaldo impression very often. He hasn't been very good so far this year even in his other starts it's taking him a lot of pitches. He started slow last year as well so hopefully his command will come around. If not, this team is in deep do-do.

Tony, the entire day I kept getting a pop ups on here on my phone. Just wanted to tell you. I am not the sharpest when it comes to fixing it. Other websites on my phone were fine.

Just frustrating to see him struggle so much with command. His stuff is so filthy but it doesn't matter since he can't seem to ever put it where he wants.

Command will always beat stuff. See Greg Maddux and his 92 mph fastball.

See Jamie Moyer in 2012.

I also thought about Moyer before posting, but Jamie was more of a junkballer. I think Maddux is a better example of a pitcher who doesn't overpower you but can paint the corners all night long.

Or, you know, 3-4 inches off the corner.

Anyway, Moyer had plenty of command but eventually didn't have enough stuff for the command to play.

You need both.

Sorry, we got rid of the network that we thought was causing this. this is the first time I've heard this in a while. We'll take a look. I've been on my pad all day with no issues so not sure.

They say the umpires give it to you if you are consistent. Much worse than Maddux was Glavine. His pitches were a foot outside and still called strikes. This is what drives me crazy about baseball. It's 2017, not 1917. There's no reason not use technology.

I would be tempted to send him to Norfolk after tonight. I expected him to dominate the Reds for seven or eight innings. I am extremely disappointed in him.

I'd like to win the series against the Red Sox this weekend.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      What's Your Top Priority

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
