Just getting back from the Yard, the lights are pretty much off. Even if there is a small flicker of light, Miley and Ubaldo will make sure to shut off all electricity, candles and emergency lanterns.

I'm going to Hangout Night Tuesday, a couple days ago I thought we'd see Bundy but now it looks like Ubaldo.

Well, I felt we had to 12-7 in this 19 game stretch with 16 home games in it.   This weekend makes that a heck of a lot tougher.

Maybe the O's will finish like 1974 that started Aug.28th that year when we won 28 of their last 34 and they were 2 under .500, 7 1/2 games behind the Red Sox to win the division.  The fans wrote them off then too before the streak.  That was the most exciting finish I ever seen as an O's fan.  Tommy Davis was gold then.

It ain't over until Dick Motta says it's over.

1974...I don't think so.  I haven't given up, but, I don't think so.

The Twins don't have hall of fame players on their team like the Re Sox did when they had Yaz and Carlton Fisk and other great players like Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Luis Tiant

    • I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad  
    • What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.
    • I think Adley is the DH tomorrow. 
    • Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?
    • Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy. 
    • The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.
    • Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
