It doesn’t get more boss than 2 HR on your tshirt night.

Glad we have him, you know Bordick wouldn't have criticized that with a 10 foot pole.

I'm curious to see how Eshelman does second time through the Blue Jays batting order. But, I didn't think he would make it through unscathed the first time through. Legit impressed with him so far.

I mean, Mullins has to make the All-Star team without the fans voting just for popularity? Doesn't MLB put these guys who don't get the votes in anyway?

It depends on roster composition.  Some slots are voted by the fans, some by players and the manager picks some. 

Mullins would be a pretty massive snub and I'd be very surprised if it happened.

Starters are winners of the vote aka popularity contest.  Reserves are chosen by the players voting and final reserves by AL All-Star manager.  At least that's how it was chosen in 2019.  Not sure if they have changed it.

Oh, ok. Thank you very much for explaining that to me. I'm under the notion that Mullins is definitely in. He has totally out performed any CF this year. Hitting AND fielding.

Fans also get the vote for the final player unless they have changed something.  Each team gets a representative which can hamstring the manager's choices.

Question for anyone here. Usually if Rule 5 can complete his 90(?) days, they send him down after that. They're not going to send Wells down, are they?

I don't think it works that way.

I think if you are healthy all year you have to stay on the 25 man all year.  The minimum only applies to guys that spent time on the IL, if they don't meet that limit they have to be on the roster the following season.

Ok, thanks. Not that it matters. ? He's one of the better arms in the pen.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.

      Handshakes and pat on backs are sufficient.  Celebrating after how they’ve played for months seems a little silly.   If they win a playoff series, celebrate then.

      Talk about backing into the playoffs. I have a feeling we will “clinch” a spot based on someone else losing
