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.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By e16bball · Posted

      Interesting rub with Bubic is that he’s actually another extreme splits lefty who is much tougher on RHH over both career and 2024.  Zerpa is really their only traditional matchup lefty, although they might consider using Daniel Lynch in such a rike. He’s murdered LHHs in his small 2024 MLB sample, though his track record for platoon destruction isn’t quite as impressive.

      Yes, I think there's a good likelihood that's being considered, especially since Hyde keeps saying that they won't announce the game 2 starter until they see what happens today.

      To me It almost feels like todays game is an elimination game even though I know it’s not. So I’m pretty nervous about it. I just think the team needs to get another monkey off their back and if they don’t in game 1, they could be in trouble in game 2. Especially if the loss involves them getting completely shut down on offense.    Also the gsmr 1 winner has won the series nearly every time so far in the short history of these three-gamers.

      That might have to do more with the fact that Verlander had a 9.26 ERA in 5 September starts. And it's not like he was any good prior to him getting hurt. Not dinging you on the 11 pitcher choice, but more Verlander being left off of it. Personally, I like the 12 pitchers the O's are going with. Especially since Suarez isn't on the roster due to pitching so deep this weekend. This O's bullpen is not great. They are...solid, but nobody great aside from maybe Coulombe. Hyde is going to have to piece this together as he has a bunch of arms that are so context dependent. For example, Perez has been awful lately. A 9.00 ERA in September. Cano has been rocky. Dominguez is wild and homer happy. Soto can lose his command at the drop of a hat. Coulombe and Webb are coming off of injuries and have looked good, though. Selby has thrown *4 innings* for the O's. Akin is terrible in high leverage situations or with runners on. Povich hasn't pitched in relief for the O's. This bullpen has their warts/unknowns. It'd be much better if they had an elite 1-2 punch like Felix and Cano last year. They don't have that. They have a very good arm in Coulombe and a bunch of average or slightly above average arms.

      4:00 time frame is my favorite time for a game for some reason..worked out perfect for my schedule too.

      I get that but that still doesn't change the fact that they are a better team with him available. To burn him in a game that doesn't matter seems shortsighted. There is no ALDS unless they win the WCS.
