Eshelman vs Greinke, what could go wrong for the Orioles? lol 
 

Crazier things have happened! Mullins and Mancini are rested. Mountcastle is on a tear. Killer B’s? I give you…the killer M’s!

The real excitement of the series is going to be who is going to pitch tomorrow?

Although I just read an article about the fiasco that is going on in Arizona right now so God help those poor guys over there, it could be worse.

TBA is probably the O's best chance to steal a game in Houston.

It would be cool if the O's called someone up without announcing it, and then sent him to the mound with no name or number on his jersey.  The PA announcer would refer to him only as Pitcher X.

Has anyone tracked down Sidd Finch? This could be his shot!

    Official Rule 3.03(a):  All players on a team shall wear uniforms identical in color, trim and style, and all players’ uniforms shall include minimal six-inch numbers on their backs. 

The player's name is not required, as the NYYs and RS demonstrate.

I’ll be at the game with my paw. Lord grant us strength! Big Tom vs Greinke, can we pull off the miracle of miracles? It’d be neat to see!

We'll all be able to hear you when the two of you yell "Cheater! Cheater!" as I'm sure you will, if only to get to know the 'Stros fans around you.

    • In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?
    • Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.
    • I would bring McCann back on a one year deal
    • It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?
    • Here is a summary for you: The chances of us doing anything other than hosting a WC round are extremely low. Not enough baseball left for a team to make up four games.
