For all you nay sayers don't you want to feel this again?

They didn't sell. There's only one thing left to do. Say Eff it and buckle up and hope we get in.

Was watching this with my father in my living room, wow I don't know if either of us have ever yelled more in our lives at a game. Go go go! Amazing moment and one I will never forget.

I know! It was amazing. Me and my sister were driving home and it was a good thing she was driving or else I would have went off the road when I heard the call on the radio

mlbtraderumors.com mentioned that Tyler Chatwood was sent to the bullpen in Colorado.  His overall stats are ugly, yet his away statistics are interesting:

Away from Coors FIeld: 4-6, 3.84 ERA,  1.26 WHIP

He's a free agent after the season.  Could be gotten on the cheap.

What if we get another reliever for the stretch run.  Jim Johnson is the only one I saw that cleared waivers. We're lucky if Miley or Ubaldo get through five most nights. 

6th inning: O'day or Johnson 

7th inning: Givens 

8th: Brach 

9th: Britton 

That'd be a dominant pen.

Don't forget Castro and his sub 1 WHIP and 98 MPH unhitaball.

Guys on Sirius XM MLB Network say " Leave the Orioles as they are. Don't change a thing."

Did they give a reason? I think we need another SP to be able to skip Bundy a turn or two, down the stretch., We'll see how Castro can do.

Yeah, they said wear the same clothes, play the same lineup. Don't change a thing.  Back to their old over performing tricks.

They think the Orioles are hot. And might stay that way. 

Hope they're right. Offense looks hot with the return of the old Manny and the new Beckham, with the same ol' same ol' Schoop. Imagine if CD could resurrect himself for a month.

      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.
