Saturday's game looks like a loss on paper, Cortes has toyed with us these past few years.  Fortunately "on paper" doesn't count for anything.

EDIT - I just looked it up, I knew he was good against us but didn't realize how good.  Last year:

3 starts, 18.1IP, 10H, 0R, 31K, 3BB, .366 OPS against.  That's gross.

I went to an April game where he dominated us  (5 IP, 12 K’s, no runs) but we ended up winning anyway 5-0.   He really made our hitters look silly.  He had one immaculate inning (3 3-pitch strikeouts) and another where he struck out the side on 12 pitches.   It wasn’t our strongest lineup, with Mateo, Chirinos, McKenna, Owings and Gutierrez all in the game.  Fortunately we got to their bullpen for 5 runs in the 8th inning.

At least 2-3 innings will fly by while you're getting food/drinks.

Not if you scan your card at the B &O market. Not sure who told the Baltimore Sun that the Saturday game was almost sold out.It will be a nice crowd for an Oriole game but last I heard about 10,000 seats left. That doesn't include the Upper Right field corner which seats will not be sold for almost all games 

 

The Baltimore Sun:

Downtown also is shaping up to be crowded Saturday — if not quite as crowded as Friday — when the O’s take the field for their second almost sold-out game against the Yankees, at 7:05 p.m. and The Eagles perform a nearly sold-out concert at the Bank Arena at 8 p.m. (Limited tickets were available for both, spokespersons said, though because the events overlap, most patrons likely will attend one or the other

Really?  That's interesting.  If you can dig it up, I'd love to see what he said.  

Several places, but here’s where Luke wanted him in the Rule 5 draft (and we did take him).  His description is extremely on point

I'll be there Saturday. Is there any good tailgating spots? I'm looking to get there early 

This is a revamped bar near the stadium.There is also Pickles.Not sure if you want a good meal or drinks.

Sliders bar near Camden Yards gets a new look and a new name

      Elias on contract extensions

      Gunnar is the only one you worry about. I would still sign Holliday as well but I think Gunnar is the bigger fish to fry. I no longer would consider an extension for Adley. I would wait on anyone else.

      Something that doesn't show up on the stat sheet is something like being able to hit behind the runner to advance him.   The O's have been successful in building an analytics offense.   Focus on hitting homeruns, develop a swing to achieve optimum launch angle and exit velocity to hit the ball over the fence.  Result is they have a team of beer league software players and not baseball players and struggle to score when not hitting homeruns.   Analytically, if you review their offensive rankings for the season, it says, nothing wrong with the offense, at least from a macro review, but we all know that this offense has issues.   Runs - 4th Home runs - 3rd AVG - 7th OBP - 11th SLG - 3rd OPS - 4th  K's - 18th (this was interesting to see considering how much they seem to strikeout) All of the above looks good, nothing to fix. The O's had 6 sacrifice hits for the season, ranking 30th.  Interestingly, Arizona who led the league in runs scored also led the league in sacrifice hits with 34.   The O's do not need to necessarily to focus on small ball, but they do need to be able to add that skillset to their offensive arsenal.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      Sounds like Buck. Anything to get a slight advantage. It’s something this team sorely misses.

      Detroit has been so much fun to watch. They have Skubal and literally 11 completely interchangeable pitchers who Hinch uses at any time and in any situation. They all can start games, throw in middle relief, and close. Every Tigers pitcher has to be ready to come in at any time because nobody other than Skubal actually has a defined role, which can certainly help keep them focused.  That guy Holton who started Game 1 in Cleveland closed Game 3 yesterday.  Of course he did! And Hinch seems to have complete faith in everybody, which I guess works since they all seem to have rubber arms and never get tired. It must be so annoying as an opposing manager to try and game plan against them or to be a hitter and have absolutely no idea who you are going to be facing until you actually walk up to the plate.  Not sure how long this "gimmick" will last, but it has been really enjoyable.

      So if Westburg ends up being a very good but not MVP level player you aren't interesting in extending him at a team friendly rate? I disagree with your strategy. If you can lock up even a young 3 win player at a team friendly rate I say do it.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Chromehill · Posted

      The most obvious player to extend is Gunnar, his agent is Boras, which means most likely, he will not be interested in an extension.  All others, you have to wait and see.  Adley after that horrible second half, you really need to see if he bounces back.  Westburg, need a full season before locking him up, plus he would probably want a season to post big numbers.  Cowser, wait and see if he learns the strike zone before extending.

      I agree with you on Gunnar. I'd wait on Westburg until he puts up a Gunnar like season, and spend money on Burnes this offseason. Oh and do something temporary to bring the RF wall in 10-15 feet
