Well maybe we can help keep Toronto out of the playoffs and get Seattle in.

If Seattle wins the next two and Boston loses the next two, Seattle would be in the playoffs with a negative run differential. I hope Boston doesnt make it in.

Well, we lost today and AZ up 6-1 in the 3rd. Exciting! ?

Its looking like it comes down to the very last game, but im still not hopeful AZ can win two straight. Foolishly assuming they can hold onto the lead again tonight. Would be something else if they win again tomorrow and O's lose.

DBacks won, teasing us going into the final game.   They still control whether they hold on to the no. 1 pick.  That game they blew on Friday looms large now.   

O’s and Dbacks start their games at the same time today. I’m imagining a 2011-like season finish, except it’s a battle for the basement.

Hopefully the same he has been doing lately…stinking it up.  

Usually, he’s a GB pitcher that gets a good amount of Ks.  

BTw, speaking of the Rockies, they just gave the GM job to the guy who was the interim GM at the deadline..when they held onto everyone despite having guys who are pending FAs.  That organization is in a lot of trouble.

Are we dealing Hays for Marquez after the World Series?    Mullins?

Garrett Hampson faking it as "Rockies CF" this year, but middle infield will open back up as Story departs.

If the league feels Hays is also a true CF, well, we know everybody has to find where the opportunities are.

The Marlins are talking publicly about adding hitters. There was speculation about Marlins talks for Mullins at the deadline. If Mullins gets traded, Miami might make sense. They've got plenty of young pitching.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
