They will win tonight.   (Bold prediction; I don’t even know who they’re playing or who’s pitching.)

I like it.

It's Fried vs. Akin.

?

Fried and Akin have the same number of losses. However Fried does have 10 more wins than Akin, by which I mean he has 10 and Akin has 0.

So they're pretty evenly matched, right? Akin's just had some bad luck to go with his 8.13 ERA.

Well, his xERA is 5.59 and FIP is 4.78 so I guess you could say he’s had some bad luck.  But he certainly hasn’t been good.

I meant to say a fifteen and a 20. I thought we hit 15 before this year, no? If we lose 9 in a row we'd be over 20 on this one. I edited my original post. 

I thought the longest losing streak was 14 games in May. Orioles were 17-23 on May 16th and the next time they won game their record was 17-37.

I think we win two of the next six. We aren't going to have a 20 game losing streak and a 15 game losing streak in a season, the odds of that have got to be a million to one. 

No. I've had college Stats classes. The odds are still 50-50. Vegas or Fangraphs might alter it to 60-40...

But it's still a coin-toss. So 20, 23, 26, 27 is still VERY possible.

      Orioles, Vinny Nittoli Agree To Minor League Deal

      Every time we get a pitcher from the A’s this time of year, I think they are still doing us a solid for trading them Pat Neshek for cash in 2012.

      I understand why you'd be concerned with Webb's performance but that contract is so juicy that I'd jump on him if he were available.  4/82 plus the remainder of his salary this year is a steal for him, even accounting for the fact that pitcher arb awards have been weirdly low.

      We TRIED to give that game away but couldn’t quite do it

      Great to get a 2-0 win facing George Kirby, but man they made it way harder than it had to be. Grayson gets staked to a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th, then walks 2 of the first 3 batters he faces in the bottom of the inning.  Fortunately, erased on a DP. The O’s score an insurance run in the 7th, but then can’t capitalize on a bases loaded, one out situation with Gunnar and Adley up.   In the bottom half, Grayson allows a single and puts the tying run on via a walk, then makes a poor throw on an easy DP comebacker that could have loaded the bases but Gunnar somehow got a barehand grip on the ball with his foot on the bag.   In the 8th, O’Hearn leads off with a double but the O’s failed to advance him. In the 9th, Kimbrel hits a guy, almost allows a game-tying homer that goes just foul, then hits another guy, and the baserunners both get into scoring position but Kimbrel is able to end it on a strikeout.    I’m thrilled they won, but man they made it gut-wrenching.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      1: A lot of posters here actually have an milb.tv subscription and use it, or they attend games in person.  So you're off base if you think the prevailing opinion here is based on a few social media posts. 2: Henderson doesn't have a famous dad, and Holliday outproduced him at a younger age in the minors, and people here were about equally hyped about Henderson. 3: Holliday put up a 1.000+ OPS in AA as a 19 year old.  AA is harder than power-5 division 1 college baseball.  That's basically like a freshman putting up 25/10/5.  Not 4 points a game.  Get outta here with your terrible Bronny James comparisons.  If people here were actually blinded by a last name then posters here would have thought that Ryan Ripken was a legitimate prospect.  Believe it or not some of us actually do research on things like this.  We certainly aren't alone in rating Holliday highly, as he was rated #1 or #2 overall by every publication I can think of (and #1 by most of them if I recall.) 4: Holliday for Miller, who isn't guaranteed to be healthy enough to be in the starting rotation over the course of his controlled years, is a ludicrous trade proposal and I'm glad you're not our GM.  You're trading Holliday for an ace.  And not just any ace, an ace without injury concerns with years of control left.  Someone like Chris Sale, when the White Sox traded him for Moncada/Kopech+.  Anything less than an ace is a terrible return.  And I get that Moncada was probably a bad #1 overall prospect, but even if you think Holliday is a bad #1 overall too, you're still undervaluing him to an absurd degree by settling for a reliever with injury concerns, even a shutdown one.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By orioles22 · Posted

      So, Burnes is pushed back to Thursday. He could still make the Tuesday-Sunday starts next week, or does Hyde go with Kremer to make two starts next week. The Sunday game against the Yankees could be big. I think if we win two of three we clinch the season series.

      Basallo makes futures game..but not Mayo?

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Probably a low leverage reliever.  Maybe one with options the O's can send to the minors.  No chance the O's can get a high K closer for him.

      At 33 his prospect status was dimming.
