Who woulda thunk it?   Cedric has 24 homers and 25 steals with about 30 games to go.   It's going to be close.    Besides already having a great breakout season, that would be a great accomplishment.

Never would have thought before this year Cedric would have a 30-30 season. One the best single seasons by an Oriole ever.

Everything in Mullins' numbers this year scream this is NOT a fluke season. He doesn't have a weakness against fastball, breaking balls or offspeed and hit lefthanders as well as right handers. His EV

He's had a stretch where he hit 8 HR's and 7 SB's.  But that was over 26 games and we only have 22 games left.  It would be cool if he got it, though I don't expect it.  But in a miserable season, it's understandable to be greedy.

At this point I'm confident he'll get the 30 homers.  It's the steals I'm wondering about.

On the bright side it is easy to pad steals.  Get on base and go, regardless of the situation.

Would be a bit like missing a shot intentionally to get more offensive rebounds but it can be done.

Maybe we'll see a few more bunts once he hits his 30th homer. I would hope he doesn't alter his swing to get more singles instead of XBHs.

Gotcha, I just meant running when it doesn't make sense to run.  I'm not expecting him to change anything that results in him getting on base.

Oh, that was what I thought you were talking about (altering hitting approach)--sorry.

I remember when Ricky Davis needed 1 more rebound to get a triple double.  So right before the buzzer sounded he purposely missed a shot at his own team's basketball and got the rebound which gave him a triple double.  But in the end it was disallowed.  Obviously this is not the same, but it reminded me of it.

“Bases loaded for Mullins here…There’s a deep fly ball to right field and it’s off the fence and bounces away! Jones will score, Gutierrez will score. Now three players collide in the field trying to get the ball! Wynns around third and he will score! Meanwhile, Mullins stays on first…”

If he's at 30 HR and 29 steals, I'm pretty sure he'll have the green light any time he's on base.  It's not like he's going to cost the O's a game and effect our playoff positioning.

Why shouldn't he run anyway even if Hyde puts out the red light?

Hyde going to bench him?  Call him out to the media?

Pfft.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
