I attended tonight’s game and met up with Moose Milligan in the middle innings and we watched the O’s storm back to win and end the losing streak.   It was a good crowd that was really into the game, and a lot of fun.  When the O’s got the W, most of the fans in the lower bowl stayed at their seats and gave them a loud ovation as they went through the handshake line and into the dugout.   Nice to see that kind of support from loyal fans after what they’ve been through.   
 

Hey, does moose look as much like Ken Griffey Junior in person as his avatar?

Of course, this means you have to attend all the rest of the games… Although if Mike finds out, he’ll probably have you guys thrown out

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

It will be interesting to watch.   Remember Papelbon was supposed to be a starter too in the beginning, but just was too good at the relief thing to move.   I see T. Wells dominating and don't know if I see enough command, other pitches to extend.

I imagine Hunter Harvey would like to throw his hat in the ring for first Save of 2022 if he can keep it together six weeks.

I wouldn't bet on him being tried as a starter but I'd like to see it.   There is certainly more need for a starter than a closer next year.   I'd rather throw guys like Harvey (no jokes!), Felix Bautista, and Ofelky Peralta against the wall to see what sticks in the bullpen.    Plus, Bradish and Baumann could both wind up there.   Wells is a guy with stuff AND throws strikes.   And he's started all through the minors.

I would like to see them try him as a starter too.  I’m not sure why they haven’t.  In fact, as I have said, they have gone the opposite way.  They have shortened his outings and lessened the work load.

Certainly could still try him as a starter but I would think they would be stretching him out more now.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Astros admit it is a knee sprain for Yordan and he is out the Mariners series, with hoped for return at the Guardians Friday. He will play the playoffs and I guess benefit from that infielders on the dirt rule, as otherwise defenses might have been able to put all of them well on to the grass like Pujols at the end. Mariners got the must opener with "just" Bryce Miller - now they have Logan Gilbert and George Kirby tonight and tomorrow afternoon against Yordan-free lineups to try and make the weekend interesting.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think a lot of fans frustration (well, at least mine) comes from a combination of this specific team and history.  This 2024 team has been extremely frustrating.  It is factually true that in the last 106 games they have only one walk-off win and only two wins when trailing after 6 innings. They have no series wins against an over .500 team since July 4th, and the worst record in the AL East since June 20. They cannot put together any long winning streaks, they have a real hard time generating a "big" inning, their all-star catcher has had an extremely disappointing second half, and their prized rookies have been far worse than anyone could have imagined.  So this has been without question a three-month plus malaise that feels like it just won't end.  Every time we want to feel enthusiastic or excited, we get shut down by a punch in the gut like Saturday and Sunday. The injuries have undoubtedly played a role, but I don't buy that they should have played this much of a role. Especially not on offense. The history part of it does not relate to the current team, but is a real pain point for fans like me who have been around for decades.  This organization last won an LCS game on October 13, 1997.  Almost 27 years since their last single game win in the LCS. Think about that and how much life has passed since that time.  Over those 27 years, 22 different fanbases have experienced their team in the World Series at least once.  If we go back to the last time the Orioles won the pennant, we can add another 4 fanbases to the list of World Series participants.  I think a 3 game sweep in last year's playoffs hurts us far more than it would Red Sox fans or Cardinals fans or Dodgers fans who are there regularly.  We have far fewer bites at the apple than most other fans, and every opportunity lost just resonates that much more.   No one should ever think the Orioles fans are spoiled, regardless of how much we may complain.  We are among the least spoiled fanbases not only in baseball, but in all of professional sports.

      He's absolutely right, but of course, anything prior to the 2023 sweep means nothing to this current squad.  Last year we got a glimpse into this team with pressure. We all, including me, pointed towards their inexperience, but now we have a 2nd half of a season with mostly the same players wilting under pressure. Whether that pressure be because of the game situation, expectations, trying to do too much with other players out, or whatever, we have another data point of this current team struggling when it matters. Now, barring a complete a total collapse by the Orioles over the last two series of the year (not out of the question but the that the Royals and Twins are crashing too make it almost assured this team will back into the playoffs), this team is going to the playoffs. This will be the real test because gone are the excuses of injury with Westburg, Urias, Coulombe and Webb back and the team will most likely face another struggling wild card team. That should give some hope that this team will win at least a game, and maybe a series if things go right.  Crazier things have happened before in the playoffs, but only a miracle World Series appearance would be able to overcome this frustrating season and end the discussion over the lack of clutch of this core group of players.
