So while Ryan was hitting his home run we had Melanie Newman yakking about nothing in particular, so we missed arguably the signature moment in baseball, which is a home run. This talking over the gam

We're going to need some contribution offensively from Mancini in this game.

I hope he’s not on the roster next week.

Game Notes

  • Richie Martin getting the start at SS, with Ramon Urias at 2B.   A night off for Anthony Santander means DJ Stewart is playing RF.
  • As amazing as it seems, the Orioles are 4-2 in rubber match games this year (3rd game of a 3 game series where the first two games have been split)
  • The last series the Orioles won at Yankee Stadium was Brandon Hyde's first series as a manager in March 2019
  • Although their ERAs sum to over 10, the starting pitchers for these teams are on fire lately.   Jameson Taillon was the AL Pitcher of the Month for July, and Matt Harvey has been the best pitcher in baseball since the All Star Break.
  • The Orioles are 5-7 against the Yankees this year, giving them as many wins vs the Yankees this year as they had in 2019 (2-17) and 2020 (3-7) combined, with 7 games left including tonight.
  • The Orioles and Yankees have both played 106 games.  The Orioles have scored 440 runs in those 96 games, the Yankees have scored 439.
  • Cedric Mullins has a 12 game hitting streak.  
  • After this game, the Orioles will have played 48 home games and 59 road games.  The remainder of the season will feature 33 out of 55 games at home.  Of course the Orioles home winning% is actually slightly worse than their road winning%.

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      By Frobby · Posted

      Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.

      Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding.

      So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs.

      For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
