See what I mean about Severino?  He stands up on a knee high pitch that could have been a strike, but by standing up he didnt give the ump any opportunity to see it(it would have been the second out, if it were the third then MAYBE you could just give him the benefit of the doubt that he was selling it as he walked toward the dugout but he didnt even walk towards the dugout like he forgot how many outs)  Sit you ass down and receive the ball.  Quit darting around and keep your glove still.  You would think with Hyde being a former catcher that he might address these issues or just put Severino at DH.

We've already got too many players that belong at DH.

They have a few guys who need to be a DH right now. Severino is not going anywhere. You just have to live with poor framing for now.

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but if Mountcastle had made that very catchable catch yesterday in New York, there would’ve been no extra innings and our bullpen would be fresher today.

Re:Severino, I’m happy to let him play DH for some other team, and call up Ciuffo or somebody.

    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different. 
    • I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
