I'll take pure, overpowering stuff over big game experience.

Which is why I hope the Braves activate young Spencer Strider (who can throw 100 MPH) to replace Morton on the roster - rather than someone like Jacob Webb or Josh Tomlin.  Actually, I don't think it'll be any of those.  I think it'll be either Toukki Toussaint (sp?) or Kyle Muller. 

And I think the game 4 or 5 starter will be Kyle Wright rather soft-tosser Drew Smyly.

I wouldn’t put any of the guys you named in the same sentence with Greinke. He’s been successful without over powering hitters for some time now. 

While I do prefer guys who can throw hard, it’s meaningless without knowing how to pitch. Greinke knows how to pitch.

And I never meant to imply that they were comparable to Greinke.  I only meant what I said - that I'd prefer an inexperienced hard-thrower like Strider to an experienced player who can't get people out.

      There was a game August 7th when he made questionable ph decisions. At that time, I believe pinch hitters were batting .370 with an OBP of .429 Now it’s .325 and .389 Any idea what the numbers are since August 7th?

      Prevent coverage causes you to prevent winning.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By rm5678 · Posted

      After tonight's game in Boston, the Twins have a 3-game series against the Marlins, so you're correct that they may not keep losing.

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      If you don’t think there’s a possibility of the Os missing the playoffs at this point I don’t know what to tell you.  Not saying it’s likely, and I’m sure not rooting for it (before some clown accuses me of that), but my eyes have to be open to that possibility. The team has played poorly over and over again right in front of us. The Tigers probably won’t lose more than 1 the rest of this week.  KC and the Twins have to start winning at some point - and we might have to beat the Twins ourselves, which how can you possibly be confident about that either? Those teams arent likely to just keep losing over and over.    We will probably be subjected to the Yanks celebrating their division title on Tuesday - if not then, certainly at some point this week, right in front of our guys. Perhaps that vision somehow lights a fire. I hope so.    Nice seeing Westie and Ramon back and glad they’ll get a full week before the playoffs start, if we do make it. There is some hope there at least. But things need to change on the field, and fast, or else all will have been for naught.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      As both an Orioles fan and Albert Suarez roto owner, I am frustrated he was allowed to pitch to the top of the order a 3rd time in the 6th inning. At the end of the top of the 5th, with Batter 20 Carpenter on deck as he retired Batter 19 Meadows for the final out, I mentioned to the friend I was there with it felt wrong no one was throwing because if Meadows got to Carpenter, a barrel was going somewhere.     Big Al got Meadows to close the 5th, and then on what was essentially Fan Appreciation Jordan Westburg Ramon Urias Good Vibes day, Urias starts and Westburg finishes a rally to turn a 3-0 deficit into a tie game. And three nanoseconds after the rally, Big Al, my unofficial 14th best out of 14 Orioles arms today at run prevention on a per batter basis, is deployed to try the Kerry Carpenter Challenge again with perhaps the most predictable HR outcome I have ever seen in person. SIGBOT could not have done better if it was trying to yield runs in that 6th inning, which it did.    The team's tactical decisions today make it fairly clear it is Late Season Sarasota.      Guys are getting their work in, the regular season competitions are over.
