Mark Trumbo is in tonight's lineup and playing right-field, in spite of the fact that he left yesterday's game after fouling a ball off of his left calf.

Today is a day I wish we could play games on paper and give our guys (and our fans) a day off. 

Paper final score: 11-2 Brewers. Aquino lasts 2 innings, gives up 8 runs. Schoop goes yard in the 7th on Garza's 104th pitch to give the Orioles their first run. Castillo hits a bomb in the 9th with 1 out against their mop-up guy who's a really bad pitcher. The Brewers hit a grand slam and two other multi-run home runs, two out of three of the homers against Aquino.

The actual game will probably be very, very similar to this, but I don't want folks to get their hopes up if we lead 1-0 after the end of the second inning, because there's no way we win this game. None.

But who doesn't want to watch a hobbled Trumbo play the outfield?  Maybe he'll have to get close to that scary outfield wall?

Congratulations to CHRIS FROM BALTIMORE. He called this game as the "Reverse Lock Game of the Year."  He said this before last night's game. 

"Since this Chris Waters kid has the proverbial meat-grinder to go through with the Angels and their killer line-up, I'll make the reverse-lock call and say the Orioles win tonight, defying the laws of physics, gravity, and probability ...... So there."


CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS !!!

Be funny if they did. Wonder what crow taste like.

That's on Buck. There are others that could play RF I would think anyway.

I'm actually looking forward to tonight's game. No I don't have high expectations for Aquino, but at least he's someone different that I can watch.  Can't be any worse than some of the others and his one start was very good.

Could not agree more. If his pitch count is below 25 in the first inning he already better than our staff.

I think that would be Oliver Drake...or maybe Josh Hader...I am not sure which.

He looked good in that April start against the Red Sox....seems like a different age.

      Yankees vs. AL Central

      By rainchild908 · Posted

      Seeing @SteveA's post about the Twins' ongoing ineptitude against the Yankees got me thinking about the other AL Central teams, who it seems come up small every time they play the MFYs (save for the Tigers in the playoffs). In short: this is the rare case where perception matches reality. Since 2001 (i.e., this century), AL Central teams are 272-492 (.356) against the Yankees in the regular season, "led" by the White Sox at 60-87 (.408)—the only team to crack .400. At the other end, the Twins are 46-106 (.303)—the worst winning percentage in MLB this century by one team against an opponent in its league—and the Royals aren't much better (46-105, .305—the second-worst winning percentage). Minnesota has won the season series against the Yankees only twice this century (2001 and 2023); the Royals are even worse, having won the season series in 2014 and lost 18 of the other 21 (the teams split in 2005, 2008, and 2011). In the playoffs, Tigers teams managed by Jim Leyland are a combined 10-3 against the Yankees and have won all three series they have played (2006 ALDS, 2011 ALDS, 2012 ALCS). All other Central teams are a combined 9-25 and have lost nine of 10 series, with the lone series win coming from Cleveland in the 2007 ALDS (home of the infamous Joba bug game). Minnesota accounts for six of those series losses, with a 2-16 record (the Twins won one game each in the 2003 and 2004 Division Series). With the Yankees hosting the White Sox this weekend, we'll get a near-immediate glimpse of whether current trends will continue...

      Hyde did say after the game on Wednesday that it was still lingering that's why he pinch ran for him.

      Time for Stowers to show that he can hit.  Last year he only got 30 AB.

      Seems like Suarez would be better suited for that role.   Hard throwing righty following the lefty, coming in against the RH heavy lineup.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      By Philip · Posted

      For the second time, yes, I understand that. Luck works both ways. The whole point of @Frobbyoriginal post is the angst that seems to pervade the discussion here, even though the record is fine. My comment was that there seems to be a little bit of imposter syndrome around here, a common fear that somehow our weaknesses will be discovered and exploited, and we will end the season three games behind the Promised Land. If we win a 2-1 squeaker tonight, there will be complaints.  If we LOSE 2-1 tonight, there will be complaints. They may even be the same complaints.

      It  may also mean that Irvin is the odd man out and GRod is starting this weekend.
