Last night felt like a game they were Going to win, even when down 6-2.  They kept fighting and I think the biggest may have been the Stewart homer.  Making the game 6-4 early on just felt like the team knew they could chip away.

Now we know you are trolling when you say DJ did something useful.  ?

The first time I thought they'd win it was... in the 9th inning - when Wells came in there looking like a real closer.  And some day, he might come in - in a closing situation - what a concept.      

He looked good.  Stuff looks really good.  I have a hard time imagining them making him a starter next year at this point.

Mullins had the tone setter.  First pitch off Ohtani, that was awesome.  The Stewart homer was awesome, too, but I think Mullins set the tone that they weren't going to lay down for Ohtani.

To be fair, Ohtani didn't have his best stuff.  Hit 97 a few times, was sitting around 93-94.

In before Wynns and Mancini are banned from the stadium until first pitch.

According to The Athletic, they were trying to figure out a way to change the mojo. Wynns came up with the idea of saging the stadium and had some overnighted. He and Mancini took about 15 minutes walking around slowly saging everything they could think of. Mullins was in the batting cage and smelt it and saw Mancini and said, “Smart man.”  Hyde smelt it in the clubhouse and asked if they were smoking different kinds of cigarettes.

    • 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...
