Friday, August 26: Orioles begin 6 game road trip vs division leaders in Houston

Bradish has had three games where he was pulled with two outs in the fifth inning while the Orioles held the lead in a game they would go on to win.

Give him those three wins, and his record would look a lot better than the 1-5 with which he entered this game.

Yes, true. I guess I was using MLB in the "royal" sense—including all franchises—as opposed to the actual entity that is Major League Baseball legally. I live in DC. I would happily pay $100 dollars a year to easily watch the orioles on my laptop. And I'm not alone in this. Just seems dumb to leave money on the table. 

They want to make money off their RSN. Curious how the streaming stuff locally will play out. I think MLB should have a deal with YouTube, sling etc. 

 

I know people who have DISH and no MASN. DISH basically got out of the RSN business.

Living in Connecticut  I get Red  Sox Yankees and Mets games blacked out. That’s like a 4th of the season. Not cool. I’m debating getting rid of the package and stealing all the games. 

I grew up in Iowa.  In my hometown the Cardinals, Royals, Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, and Twins are all blacked out. The Brewers are 8 hours away, Chicago teams and the Twins are all 6 hours away, and the Cardinals 4 hours away.  Still all blacked out.  As other have said, MLB desperately needs to increase exposure to gain fans from the younger generations.

I'm sure in 10 years, things will be much better than they are now. Or Ted Leonis will have bought us and I'll have to spend $70 dollars a month on Monumental Sports+ to watch them.

    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs. 
    • I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. 
    • Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. 
    • Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. 
    • Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
