When I first got on this message board I got “talked to” about downvoting others.

I guess you have to be in the club.

Whatever.

I'm saying...the rep system is just kinda silly to begin with.  I'm not criticizing anyone when I say that, btw.  I should clarify that...the fact that people CARE about rep (positive and negative) is silly.  Relax man.

I’m tempted to say that I don’t hate the Yankees, but I hate the Orioles for the way they fold like a lawn chair when playing the Yankees.    This week, the following members of Not Exactly Murderers’ Row hit homers off our pitchers:

- Higashioka (2)

- Urshela (2)

- Maybin (2)

- Tauchman (2)

- Romine (2)

- Ford

I mean, who?    Really?

And by the way, what are the Yankees putting in their water cooler?    I’m looking at the stats on some of these guys and they’re WAY out of line with anything they’ve previously done in their careers.

Teams are using a special “Yankee” ball?  Or MLB experimenting with one when they play Baltimore.

Means nothing. The Yankees win that series in no more than 5. The Twins are not going into Yankee Stadium and steal a game. I just don’t see it. 

Why, because the Yankees have been anything but dominant in the postseason for the past decade?  Because the Yankees haven't been to the World Series in 10 years?  The Yankees are very close to being a house of cards.  Take away a brilliant season from DJ LeMahieu and some brilliant starts from some small sample sized youngsters like Urshela and German, and you have a team that gets by mostly on beating up on very weak Orioles and Blue Jays teams, a not quite arrived Rays team and a head case, off-year Red Sox team.

I really hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are. The only team beating NY in the AL is Houston.

Yes it can.

Also the Yankees starting pitching is not good. They could lose in the ALDS if their bullpen has a couple bad games. And Astros really one upped the Yankees by trading for Greinke. But don't worry Cashman you didn't trade away any of your precious prospects. Who cares about winning the World Series anyways.

Posnanski is always talking/whining about how the Yankees get guys like this and have them perform out of their minds.  You also forgot Maybin, who, as Posnanski wrote the other day, is finally performing like the Ken Griffey Jr. he was hyped as being 12 years later.

Giants- 3

Dodgers- 2

Rangers- 2

Cardinals- 2

Royals- 2

Astros- 1

Yankees- 1

Cubs- 1

Cleveland- 1

Phillies- 1

Mets- 1

Tigers- 1

 

I’d like to see a team not on this list make it. Someone like the Braves or the Twins. Not the Nationals though... never the Nationals.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
