The one thing even if we don't make the wild card staying in it might be a big advantage.  If August and September we were out of it their would be lot empty seats.  Which I thought may hurt and Peter would cut back on payroll.

We can't drop Mancini back down in the lineup when Trumbo comes back, can we?

I wouldn't. The guy is hitting like .410 with RISP. That's what you want your cleanup hitter to do. He drives in runs. 

Trumbo can bat sixth. 

Buck won't do it though.

After all the frustration of this season, if we make a run and get the 2nd berth and NY wins the division, how good would it feel to end BOS season in the play-in game?

Remember the Mandino!

Unfortunately we won't have a chance since we're winning the division

Maybe he would. Winning streak is nice. Playing good ball. I just have to wonder what this team will  be like facing the Yankees, BoSox then their trip the West Coast? Be for the O's and cheer for them. Not going to get overly excited at this time. Maybe it won't hurt so much if they don't make it.

Fulmer to DL

Did pitchers get hurt this much when I grew up?! I know many were overworked and we never heard from them again but it seems the rate of injury is much higher. 

Just have to wonder about the overuse at a young age that crops up later. Less one sport athletes years ago.

I don't think they did. We didn't here about it if they were injured. No internet then. I cant remember hearing if Palmer was ever hurt. Gibson ever hurt or Nolan Ryan ever hurt? How a team could have 4 man rotations. Now some want 6 man. Can't figure out how pitchers in the 50's and 60's got by and now more are hurt.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
