#50THANNIVERSARY

On this day in 1970 the Orioles split a double header with the Chicago White Sox.  The Birds won game 1 8-2 and dropped the second game 7-3.

Jim Palmer pitched a complete game in the first game, allowing 7 hits while walking 1 and striking out 5.

The big bats were Merv Rettenmund (2 for 5, 1 HR, 1 run scored, 1 RBI), Brooks Robinson (3 for 5, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 runs scored, 1 RBI) and Elrod Hendricks (3 for 5, 1 HR, 1 run scored, 2 RBI).

BOX SCORE

 

Game 2 was not a good one for starter Tom Phoebus (0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R).  Boog Powell went 2 for 4, 1 HR, 2 runs scored and 1 RBI.

      Orioles Cannot be Complacent -- Look at History

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’ve been basing my projections on what we have internally, and we still do have resources. But I am totally comfortable with making some trades to balance out the ML roster. I still think we’re deep in position players, but swinging some trades for more proper defense or righthandedness has my full support. I really just hope we unclog the log jam. This year was weird with the prospects we needed to trade away or find ABs for because they were done at AAA. I’d like to see us try to get most of that done in the offseason.

      The Royals

      Great SI article here: https://www.si.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles-golden-generation-loses-luster-loss-kansas-city-royals Sums it up for me.  Royals didn't even pitch all that well.  We just royally (pardon the pun) sucked.

      I hear good questions all the time. The huge problem I see is the complete absence of pointed follow-up questions. It’s just going through the motions if that’s the case.

      Yes, the K rate was bad but people seem to forget he was a rookie this year and was still one of the best rookies in all of baseball.  He has a lot of talent, and I expect him to improve his walk rate and production next year even though he'll probably still strike out a ton.  I also hope that with a full year under his belt he won't press as much in pressure situations and improve his terrible RISP stats.  Then again, we don't know what these hitting coaches are teaching these guys so we'll have to wait and see what happens next year...

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Maybe it's you that are not paying attention.  Elias has been holding prospects back so there are not too many of them breaking in at the same time for the last two seasons.

      Wait Till Next Year

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I think the playoffs not being attended angle is overplayed a bit. Last year we had Sat/Sun games in the ALDS. This year it was Tues/Wed afternoon games. I saw empty seats in Houston as well.

      In 2023 with runners in scoring position, on top of a .317 BABIP, they had a 10% BB rate (20th highest in the league) and a 18.7% K rate (2nd lowest in the league). Then, in 2024 with RISP, they had a 8.4% BB rate (28th in the league) and a 22.1% K rate (15th in the league).  So last year they put the ball in play more often and had better results when doing so. A good formula. BABIP has variance, but the BB% rate and K% rate feel like changes in approach that were going on all year long.
