A win is a win baby!

  • ? Pedro Severino: 3-homer game!! Two of which were a b s o l u t e bombs. Seriously, please go watch the highlights. The swings on these dongs, good gracious. I audibly gasped while watching the game on the last two. Just... mm, chef's kiss. It's the first 3-homer game by a catcher in Orioles history. 
     
  • ? Dwight Smith, Jr.: 6-RBI game!! What?! A 3-run bomb and a 3-run double. Ok!
  • Dylan Bundy: Good enough! 5 IP, 3 ER, 4 Ks, W. 4.64 ERA. 
     
  • Mychal Givens: Sucks that he had to get up again, but he got it done, finally. Save number 5 for Givens who struck out both hitters he faced.
     
  • Keon Broxton: Donggggg. A solo shot. Since joining the Orioles, he's slashing .281/.324/.594/.917 in 32 AB. Nice. He stole a base tonight in a double steal involving the next guy on the list.
     
  • Richie Martin: 2-hit night! Stolen base! 
     
  • Paul Fry: The only other bullpen guy besides Givens to be worth a damn in this one. Y'all, Paul Fry is one of the most indispensable players on this team. Recognize. 
     
  • Hanser Alberto: A 4-5 night against his old team. What a weird player, man. He sort of reminds me of Miguel Tejada without the power. Doesn't walk, just gets hits, gives the finger to the BABIP gods like every single game. I love it.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.

      Bingo....I have said this before also. Wives of players are not clamoring to come near B-More. Factor in taxes and its a hard sell.
