Its generally a bad feeling to loss 3 out of 4 at home to the Jays.   And  dropping to 4 1/2 back in the Wild Card race is no picnic.   But the O's have been resilient.   The O's still lead the s

We lost tonight for the same reason we are likely to miss the playoffs--there are too many guys on this team who are not good enough to play on a contender.  Jordan Lyles is not good enough.  Joey Kre

I haven’t given up yet, but we’re clearly in need of a hot streak, and now. If we don’t make it to the playoffs, there are still so many positives to this season that I won’t be distraught. There’s re

What kids are we talking about?   Adley, Henderson and DL are already playing.   Maybe Stowers in right and Vavra at 2B.   Grayson has been held back by health.  We might see him for a start or two but that would have happen if the O's were in the race.

I could see them calling up Ortiz after the AAA season is over on the 29th.  

Stowers and Vavra is who I'm talking about.  They have been pretty much been ridding the bench which shouldn't have been happening in the first place.  And now that they are out of it there is even is even less of an excuse.

I never thought it would now be SEA that we are chasing. Their schedule is so easy, i just don't see how it happens.

Still think TB is the one to catch. Assuming HOU goes in there this week and TOR goes in there next week and beats them up.

First order of business we need to sweep DET.

I like Stowers and Vavra but I'm under no illusion that those are the two key pieces to getting us into the playoffs.

I think Vavra can be a poor man's Zobrist.  I don't know what we have in Stowers, and if we're planning on contending next year, do we have the luxury of playing a guy that might fail real hard.  Like 200+K fail.  Before the ASB.  haha.

Agreed on both points.  

In regards to my previous statement, I still think they should be playing every day.  Especially over Odor.

I'm just rooting for us to get to 82 at this point.  It shouldn't matter, and long term maybe it won't, but I will look back on this season even more fondly if they manage to finish above .500 after what the last few years looked like.  Just a really fun and exciting season, don't want to see it end on the downer that say 79 wins would be.  So if we get to 82 and are still in it when we do, then I'll worry about who we can catch.

This is going to be a good season, but I've given up on any chance of sneaking into a wildcard spot. The players have run out of steam after battling to get the team above .500. 

This will be one of the more memorable non-World Series teams because Elias did not construct this team to be in the playoffs or even above .500 for that matter.

There's a lot more talent in the farm system that's going to get called up the next few years too and it will show this season was not a fluke.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
