I was not able to watch the game today. Did listen to radio from about the bottom of 4th on. 
 

They talked on radio about Chirinos. Apparently he would like to play another year but is aware it could be his last year. I wonder if maybe he starts the last game and Adley comes in. I hope Adley plays Wednesday, I’m going to that game.

Do you mean retiring or just last with the Orioles? If he's retiring, I wouldn't be opposed to letting him play that whole game and DH Adley.

Yes, if I heard correctly he wants to play more season. So basically he doesn’t want to retire but I guess you never know. 
 

That would be fine as well.

Handling Adley's work load over the next few years will have to be a priority for this organization. Careful attention to his injury status, including the little dings a catcher gets on a daily basis will be a large part of that. I would say beyond work load and injury status there are a couple of other things to watch:

1. Do the O's go out and get a quality BU for him. That issue, if resolved appropriately, will allow him to be rested much more easily than if you are inserting an offensive blackhole into the line up when he is not behind the plate.

2. Do the O's upgrade at 1B and how does that effect his opportunity to play there. 1B was a position he played a bit in college and was adequate defensively by all accounts.

3. Do the O's upgrade at DH and does that player take DH ABs away from Adley.

4. Does the front office make the smart play and lock him up this season by buying out his ARB years and the first few FA years. 

I think all of these issues are worth watching. He's a very valuable player.

Good summary!

      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.
