This is the type of game the bullpen needed.  They have been getting worked to death.  Now they have a bit of a breather to rest up for the playoff push through the end of the season, right?

Three grand slams this year. Today we had Severino, the unlikely Austin Wynns and who was the third? I’m surprise that McDonald didn’t finish the story with the third name.

Mountcastle at Nats Park.   First inning of the Saturday game.  I was there.  Nats also had a GS in the game, I forget who, and they wound up winning, I want to say something like 13-8.

So..... Bring Lopez out to finish the ninth?  Or Wells?  Or someone else?

Lopez has been starting all year, no reason he can't go a 2nd inning.

Not Wells...he pitched last night.   Want him available for tomorrow, where it will likely be a closer game.

Only guy left who didn't pitch last night is Fry.   Maybe be ready to get him up in case Lopez struggles.  Wells is the in case of emergency break glass guy at this point.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
