Oh well, Manoa is on his game. This game is lost unless a Blue Jays releiver screws it up.

This is what happens when you blow a double -header knowing you have to face one of the best starter's in the league in one of your two other games.

The Orioles will now be 1-4 over their last 5 games. Its been a good run. 

If we can get to their bullpen (easier said than done against Manoah thats dealing) they don't have many people that can pitch after using like 19 relievers yesterday and playing a doubleheader the day before.

Wells looked shaky at best in that inning, but he gutted through it. This team is gutsy!

Agreed. I don’t think we are terribly far off. I mean what the Jays have are some more well established guys who have a few years of experience on our guys. I don’t think the talent gap is necessarily a huge delta but our rotation doesn’t have a guy like Manoah for sure. 

I agree completely!

We need that guy to stick up at the top of the rotation who is as good or better than Manoah. And before somebody says Grayson, I would prefer in his first year that he would be able to match up Gausman.

Problem is Manoah's pitch count is low.

Piss poor inning by Kremer, but let's remember, this offense has two hits. Another sleep walking performance by them so far. Can't win hitting like garbage.

I’m pissed at the lack of approach. No patience. First pitch outs. 
 

I get it, some nights you run into a guy who’s dealing. Manoah is throwing great tonight. But our guys aren’t doing anything to make it difficult for him. In fact, they seem to be making it easier for him.

A mathematical elimination kind of view… it is true ..Toronto could be on the verge of a long losing streak while we win a bunch in a row .. but I wouldn’t bet much money on it. 

After the Red Sox we really need to beat up on DET and WSH.  But as we've seen that's not how it necessarily goes in baseball. (We got swept by DET earlier in the season).

Unfortunately, Grayson looks to be the guy, I hope. I mean Kremer has done well lately, Wells could be a piece. Means is solid but there’s no dude like Manoah right now.

Of course not. I will continue to pound on the fact that TB/TOR for 5 is next week. TB up 1-0 Top 8 in Boston. 
 

I’m just saying a good week before the next Jays series is needed. Bottom line.

In between they play the Rangers and we have the Red Sox.. if we don’t start playing better we won’t have to be watching who they are playing

But we have dispatched Manoah pretty handily in two out of his three starts vs. us this season before tonight.

I agree. That's why we need to go big game hunting in the offseason. Our payroll is of such that we can realistically do it.

Otherwise, we will continue to have to rely on hoping we can beat the odds and outperform our talent which I do not think is a reasonable plan for longterm sustainable success.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.
