Palmer's disdain is always hysterical. He's does disdain so well.

Unless -- when we bring in Bautista this inning, we do a double switch and bring McKenna in for Mullins.  Then they can swap positions and Bautista wouldn't be due until 9 batters into the 8th. A

I was not expecting this offensive outburst tonight. Astros fans have to be asking WTF is up with losing to the Orioles like we do with the Tigers.

Plenty of blame to go around in this one. Mateo’s looking K with no outs and the bases loaded in the seventh was one of the worst ABs of the season. Krehbiel was terrible. Tate showed why I never feel good about him coming out for a second inning. Bautista was terrible.

That said, this isn’t over. Let’s walk this off.

Fair to say it was a team effort?

You need to win some of these to balance out losing to teams like the Tigers, As and Cubbies.

I guess. I think the O's are way ahead of schedule this year, and the amount of winning they've already done after the first couple of months is beyond what I ever would've expected. Any win against the Astros is gravy to me.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
