Well, you start looking at how you are going to cover 8 innings today.   Let's say we get 3 out of Lopez, which might turn out to be optimistic.   Probably 2 from Connor Wade (and then maybe DFA him to bring up some other bum for the Atlanta series).   Probably don't want to use Tate for the second game in 21 hours, nor Sulser and Wells (our two best relievers) in a game that isn't close.  So maybe an inning each from Abad, Diplan, and Wynns?

When I was in the army, I was infantry, and TC of an M113 armored personnel carrier. When we were out in the field, it was always obscenely hot. Even the .50 would be too hot to even touch, except by

What's going on with Lopez?  Not sure why the velocity is down.

 

I'm not watching the game today, but in his previous 2 or 3 starts, he just looks disinterested.  He looks annoyed and his body language is different.  Did I hear that he had some family issues (a death in the family?) that he is dealing with?  Maybe that would explain the disinterest in baseball.

Could be.  His kid has Familial Mediterranean fever and has had it since birth.  The kid is awaiting an intestinal transplant.  Not sure if maybe it got worse recently or it's something else that's bothering Jorge.

He has a child that has been undergoing chemotherapy.

But the trainer did come out in the first inning so there could be something physical too.

And he's gone.  Abad in.  So we have to cover 6 innings of bullpen today.   Two each from Abad, Wade, and Diplan?   Assu;ming we don't make it close enough to want to use Sulser or Wells.   And if those 3 can't cover 6, then maybe Wynns for the 8th.

Brandon Lowe is joining the long list of players that feast on Baltimore pitching.  We just can't seem to get him out.

Still getting revenge on the Orioles passing him up for three picks (DJ Stewart, Mountcastle and Jonathan Hughes who they didn't even sign) in the 2015 draft despite playing at the University of Maryland.

I see a Roch tweet that Urias and Sevvy let a foul ball fall in front of the dugout in Meadows AB before he walked.   How bad was that, anyone watching?

Probably as bad as Martin just dropping and ball that would have seen the runner thrown out before the Rays then scored two more runs.

No better revenge than living a happy life - unless it's humiliating the hometown team that didn't want you.

At least we got those two or three good weeks out of Stewart last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
