I really hope Kremer pitches well. 

That ship has now sailed.

Hope we get 4 innings out of him and are within 3 runs when he leaves.   We can use a lot of pen today with the day off tomorrow.

Yeah, too bad. Already down by three runs. Oh well...

That's such a beautiful photo. I wish I lived in Maryland so I could go to the games. I live near Atlanta and have no desire at all to go see the Braves. Traffic isn't worth it.

I grew up in Maryland and miss it very much.

    • Way too many black holes in the lineup right now. I saw  twitter post yesterday comparing the lineup from late June to one last night.  It’s night and day. So many big losses, underperforming guys and just players who shouldn’t be playing either at all or as much as they are. Its just a terrible combination right now.
    • 6-7. The problem is we are playing actual Major League teams the rest of the year.
    • Pitching hasn't been the issue. Other than say Povich, there are a lot of silver linings there. Hitting on the other hand, beyond Henderson, has been nightmarish and trying to find a silver lining is kind of challenging at the moment.
    • Feels like getting no hit for 26 outs against the mediocre Tigers (just after getting walked off to lose a series to the Sox) could be the "hitting bottom" moment of the season. Silver linings are badly needed.  Last night Adley had two CS's. I believe both throws were bouncers but had enough on them to beat the runners. When was the last time we had two CS's? Appears the Tigers think they have something on us and plan to run. See if that continues.  Overlooked in the Boston game, Kremer went 7 innings for the first time since April. That's 5 of 6 starts with 6 IP or more. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with him as the #3 if Grayson can't make it back (or even if he does).  Can we talk about how good Cano has been? 1.35 ERA in July, 2.31 in August. Always with the toughest matchups/highest leverage outs.  Eflin of course has been tremendous.  It's not a lot but it's something. 
    • He is not the answer by himself, but along with Westburg and maybe Kjerstad, you'd be upgrading the bottom of the lineup who are all automatic outs to average or better hitters. We dominated the league with Gunnar plus a bunch of .750-.800 guys. Yes, we need at least a couple of Cowser, O'Hearn, Adley, and Santander to pick things up. But every bit helps and right now Urias we would be a massive upgrade over what we're getting from Holliday. 
    • Question for all of you corporate types: If you owned this "company," what's your next step?  Perhaps even more importantly, what do you do in the off season?  Based on performance, the team is competitive. I think most pundits have the team as 99% likely to make the playoffs. However, I think the NYY are favored to win the division. by those same pundits. At the start of the season, the goal was to make the playoffs. Mission likely accomplished for the second year in a row. That's in spite of a vicious injury bug.  However, there is an old saying in business that if you are not improving, you are going backwards. This team does not appear to be improved from 2023. What do you do about that?  IMHO, this is a pivotal off season for the O's. Lots of important decisions to make. Plenty of salary flexibility. Many of the young star prospects have gotten their feet wet. It seems rather clear that the existing player assets are rather well defined.  It should be an interesting winter.
