We know who's pitching the 9th.

Question is: Plutko or Scott for the 8th.

Batters due for Mets:

   Pinch hitter for the P 

   RH hitting 2Bman who probably can't be hit for since he already replaced McNeil 

   Switch hitting Lindor

I think the type of voice to talk someone off a ledge is exactly what the Orioles' radio team needs.

Bad decision to run on contact.

You gamble on Baseball and you can not go to hall of fame or if caught get kicked off of your baseball club.  In fact you can not hangout with known gamblers and yet MLB has gotten into bet with Fandu

DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They’re all disrespectful. He’s a Hall of Famer who spent over half his career in Baltimore. If you’re gonna retire numbers, that’s one you retire.

Horrible strategy there. You have to know they walk Pedro and you would have to take Means out. I would just have let Rio and Pedro swing away.

Agreed. Giving away an out and removing your best pitcher after 70+ pitches to get the bat in the hands of someone hitting under .200 doesn’t seem to be very well thought out. At least they got a run in.

Maybe if he had decided to wear an O's hat when he went into the Hall.

Obviously his time with the Orioles wasn't that important to him.

FWIW, they are bringing the only LH bat on their bench in to replace Almora.

So the pinch hitter for the pitcher starti g the bottom of the inning has to be a righty, as is the second batter.

So probably we stick with Plutko for 2 more batters

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.

      Meh that’s fair.

      My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.

      But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
