Wade LeBlanc navigated Fenway as a left-hander for five and two-thirds innings. He allowed four runs on four hits (two homers) while striking out four. 

Miguel Castro got two outs while allowing the seeing eye grounder that inflated LeBlanc’s final line. Tanner Scott pitched a clean two out stint before the…

Cole Sulser era began. He pitched two final innings allowing no runs and recording six outs. He also covered for a Jose Iglesias error...

Who went four for five raising his batting average to .538. All bat. No glove. 

Hanser Alberto went two for four. His batting average now settling at .500 in the young season. 

Chris Davis collected his first hit of the year, raising his batting mark to .091. It was also a double which hit near the top of the Monster plating the Orioles final run 

Rio Ruiz and Anthony Santander homered.

Lot of lineup juggling so far.

I like Mullins coming in in the 7th or 8th as PR/D replacement. He can be very effective in this role.  He may bring more value than Stewart who I doubt is an upgrade over Mountcastle on the base paths or in the field.

Castro gave up two runs that were charged to LeBlanc? I really wish they’d address that stat. LeBlanc really pitched well.

He induced a ground ball. LeBlanc put the guys on.  

I understand that LeBlanc let them on, but Castro let them in.

I have always thought that saying a guy had a clean outing when he allowed a bunch of runs that count on someone else’s ledger Was disingenuous.

That’s why with relievers ERA isn’t very significant.

The point is, Castro didn’t really do anything wrong.     He induced a grounder on a pitch that was about 4-6 inches off the plate, that happened to find a hole.   And yes, it’s too bad it affects LeBlanc’s ERA.

It seems to me with coming outfield logjam of Mountcastle, Diaz, Hays, Santander, and Kjerstad... Stewart is the odd man out unless he really cranks it up.

Awesome series.  Santander looked great defensively and offensively.  And I haven't seen an Oriole shortstop hitting like that since JJ Hardy.

Now we get a Miami team that just lost its RF, 1B, C, and a SP to a Covid quarantine.

I never thought I'd say it, but with the 16-team playoff, this might just be interesting.  The race to come in third place in the AL East and squeeze underservingly into the playoffs is on!

They have people in Bowie that can improve the back end of the roster too.

      What is the O's magic number for home field advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs?

      The great Monty Hall logic problem.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      You can add Culoumbe and Webb to this list.  All 5 are between useful and star members of the roster, but there is also a big addition-by-subtraction gain in getting rid of the 5 guys they replaced.

      Ohtani

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Finally getting to watch a couple of his games in some detail, I can report he probably doesn't slide head first much. At least, as a baserunner, he doesn't wear a mitt as our guys do.    Looks like a lighter thumb guard kind of thing, but fingers are free. I missed a slide test because the base he just stole was standing up, his MLB best 33rd in a row without being caught. Ohtani v. Cease 3 times was good to get to see, and LAD and SDP playing another great game of baseball as a kid from Baltimore and Manny try to push the world's greatest talent collection. Dodgers might have lost their (ancient) shortstop to a muscle strain while base running.    He couldn't go 1st to home on an Ohtani double that might have been a triple if he had been able to do so.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.
